Me on new pipe and invidious:

Stop calling it sideloading.

Its called “installing software”, on a computer, that you own.

Yeah dude. Any one down voting the comments or the thread is a fucking clown.

It’s against Pelosi! AOC has completely kneeled for the establishment.

Yeah bruh. She has to decide whose side she’s on, now. Not later, now. She’s trying to split the difference, which means she’s not a leader. She needs to commit to leading or accept a back seat position.

Like, ngl, I love that you are catching downvotes for this. I’m not downvoting, I wholeheartedly agree, but this was Kamala Harris level word salad answer. But just like, the number of acritical fucking mouthbreather cheerleaders without any concept of politics or strategy who support Democrats and think they are progressives is a fucking problem.

This was a “she just dropped in the rankings” for 2028 primaries level bad answer from AOC. And its not a new pattern; she’s been seen as this kind of calculating, Pelosi-esque maneuvering poltiican before.

Like, not endorsing your former chief of staff?

Did he do something on the campaign that disqualifies him AOC? Like. Genuinely.

Because if its not that or something worse, what the fuck are you even doing not endorsing AOC? And if it is that, come the fuck out and say it so we don’t get Fettermaned.

Either way, this was a fucking unforced error on her part, just like when she got out-maneuvered by MTG on funding weapons to Israel.

Fam I literally came here to post this.

Fucking slop from AOC.

3 progressives split the rest. If one of those two other progressives drops out kat wins

I mean we gotta win some primaries. Last round was disaster and far too many leftish-sts are easily swept up by propaganda. Look at the Mike_from_PA debacle over Abughazala. There were Kat haters, here, actively working to take her down because she wasn’t a picture perfect candidate, and they litterally split the vote 3 ways among the progressives when Kat came within 2 points of winning.

Then you’ve got shit like AOC not endorsing Shaikat (today). What the practical fuck? If she knows something we don’t, fucking spill it AOC. Because if not, what the chicken fried fuck are you doing.

We genuinely have to start playing better politics as a cohort. I mean Tim Duncan, boring basketball, fundamentals. We’ve won the rhetorical battle, but we’re losing the small battles that add up to winning in the war of attrition for the heart of the DNC.

It looks pretty fucking bad, and it is pretty bad. Like either they are pulling the ladder up behind them or they’ve learned all the wrong lessons from the past 8 years.

Like, the dude is now in a dead heat with Scott Weiner. He ran her campaign that outed Crowley. And she’s sitting on the sidelines?

What do you mean you arent on grub?

stopped?

Ahh yes… let me just go hunting with my beamforming radar… I’ll be tracking the rate at which that deer is changing course at over 100khz.

No, I’m not confused whatsoever. You can not get the same kind of information using radar using the system you are describing. Period. You are confusing broad, beacon like radar systems (like a flashlight or a paint brush) with phased systems, which are fundamentally different.

Phased systems depend on nano-pico second scale precision in timing; you aren’t accomplishing that across a distributed system. And the exact structure of the beam that is going to be formed is dependent on what the receiver has detected, whatever scan pattern is being used. They are a coupled system.

This is why I can’t just throw my support behind AOC. Her machinations, her political calculating…

She’s capped fam.

Look, if I could point this thing at the ground and get soil moisture at depth, I wouldn’t be in this situation ok.

she topped a domino

Uh…

“actually cheap” and “reliable interceptor”, the US military industrial complex

This is antithetical to the US military industrial contractor complex doctrine.

If this guy thinks its a threat, its probably where you should be putting your energy.

Okay so I was overly general with my first statement.

No one is saying passive radar systems don’t exist. We’ve been using them for decades and there have been massive improvements. But the actual radar system we’re discussing here isn’t. You simply aren’t going to get the same capabilities from a purely passive system than you will from an active + passive system where you can tightly control the frequencies and directions you are transmitting on, and have the information about what frequencies you transmitted on, when you transmitted them, and how (what array configuration) you transmitted them. The point is that the transmission itself is structured to reveal certain information. So when you get a response back (also, coming back to a phased system), you can learn far more about your target than you could in a purely passive system because you that prior information about what you transmitted.
