To celebrate the epic show of democracy #RussianElections always are, I've revived a old project I made for previous ones: Russian Elections Simulator 2024 A fast little tongue in cheek game you can play in your browser (Desktop & full screen suggested) globalnewsdeck.com/ruelectionsi...

Was testing some new "AI" assisted news filtering for www.globalnewsdeck.com and I'm not sure if I have a bug or feature here ....

For the past week I've been tracking mysterious tracks that appear south of Crete, fly over Gaza for 3 hours, and then fly back. I suspected these to be MQ-9A Reapers. Thanks to excellent work by @rileymellen.bsky.social & Eric Schmidtt, we have some more details. www.nytimes.com/2023/11/02/w...

U.S. Drones Are Flying Over Gaza to Aid in Hostage Recovery, Officials Saywww.nytimes.com The military has been sending weapons and advisers to Israel, but the flights suggest a more active American role.

On USS Carney intersection of Houthi missiles: Thanks to a picture taken while USS Carney was transiting Suez on 18/10/2023 and the shadows visible we can extrapolate her path, spot her on Sentinel-2 and have a rough area for the interception. We don't know the time it happened so area is broad.🧵

My (not so little anymore) side project, globalnewsdeck.com is improving, now with way better mobile / touchscreen support and performances. The direct evolution of what I've been using for years to keep track of global news, it can help in filtering noise. Filtered news from twitter without twitter

Worth reminding some that in Myanmar there was a military coup subverting democracy, many civilians where and still are being slaughtered, there is a resistance that nobody supports, no state even ever faked interest and in general we never gave a flying fuck about it www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Twitter dead for good ?

My first internet connection was through a 9600 bps modem when I was 10 or 11, I still smile in awe when today I click download on a >20 gb file that I will have in 5 minutes or less.

Since by now it is public should probably clear some things about www.globalnewsdeck.com - It is the evolution of a "tool" I have been using personally for years with its goal being that of providing a filtered glimpse into world events and their locations. 🧵

Still early in development but given events in #Israel (and future implications of them) decided to open access to current version of what I've been working on "lately". Global News Deck grabs news from twitter, geolocates them and presents them to users filtered by country www.globalnewsdeck.com

Latest piece by Walter Isaacson on WaPo about Musk is damning as hell... Ukrainians where close to inflict a crippling blow to Russias black sea fleet and Musk disabled the drones 100 KMS from the coast wasting Ukraine's element of surprise too. The ships he saved then killed scores of civilians.

completely out of the blue just found a song I had in my mind and had been searching for over 13 years (seriously) !!!! The feeling is incredible ! Hope my neighbours will like it because they are going to have to listen to it a few hundred times in the coming days.

Been trying to geolocate the videos from the alleged Russian drone hitting Romania yesterday. Little material but in general given the shore, it appears explosion happened inside Romania. As per the exact location here my best guess :

New version of an old project of mine coming soon... bigger, faster and better. Realtime news related tweets geolocated providing both a to the minute "heat map" of the world to know where stuff is happening and a way to keep track of events / locations that interest you. (missing videos here...)

Finally had the time to get new server and general architecture up and running ! Way more stable (less news "stream" interruptions) @news-feed.bsky.social to be expected

Experimenting with this account : @news-feed.bsky.social Major news entities tweets reposted here :) Very early version, buggy and will possibly cease to post at some random time, but it already sort of works.

Twitter finally cut useful API access to the last one of my apps with them... "🎵Hello Puppeteer my old friend, I've come to code with you again...🎵"

Among hundreds of TV shows in the last many years, the only one I'll truly be missing are Ted Lasso and Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and both had their final episode air just days apart, devastating. Both were unique and somewhat psychologically stabilising...

"Formidable" Russian SU-57 VS latest AMRAAM

Understand many features are still missing but having a BlueSky tab open since Saturday and taking 300 mb of ram next to a twitter tab open since 40 minutes taking 3450mb of ram is beautiful & telling. Please keep it so. Caught twitter using >8gb a few days ago, sign of very shitty coding....

“‘A massacre is taking place now in Jenin camp,’ Salim Awad, a 34-year-old restaurant worker, said in a phone interview Monday from a house where 19 Jenin residents were taking refuge. ‘The children are crying and screaming, terrified of what is happening.’”

Israel invades West Bank city, killing at least 8 Palestinianswww.washingtonpost.com The Israel Defense Forces said it targeted a command center in Jenin that militants were thought to be operating in a refugee camp.

While we cheer for the Smurf bird dying, unfortunately Ukrainians are losing a huge and extremely powerful way to let their voices and struggle be heard as well as exposing Russian atrocities. Is there a way bluesky could do more in this regard ? A percentage of invites for Ukrainian IPs maybe ?
