<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dimin" class="u-url mention">@<span>dimin</span></a></span> yeah, i was talking to someone else from ukraine about it</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mean.engineer/@indutny" class="u-url mention">@<span>indutny</span></a></span> i&#39;ve expanded a bit on what i mean</p>

<p>to be clear, I&#39;m not saying &quot;the use of OSHW in warfare is unequivocally bad&quot;. as you may have learned already, i am not against the existence and use of weapons as a whole. and, to state the hopefully obvious, ukraine should win and i would not be conflicted being in the supply chain of that event.</p><p>however, even in that case, knowing that someone&#39;s life--someone you would like to live--hinges on your OSHW you never intended to be a part of a life support system--is a lot.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> oh thank god, we can finally listen to the original much, much better version without guilt!</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> As a Ukrainian I have a bit more to add to this. The reason for most of that specific stuff being used is due to it being the cheapest decent stuff one could get from Ali or manufacture on any generic PCBA line in bulk quickly. Nowadays completely custom solutions are popping up, the stuff you described was just used as a stopgap at the start since it&#39;s better than nothing. Both sides are using FOSS/H stuff and when you make something open you need to be ready for anyone to use it</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> it is easier for me to justify Ukraine’s use of my software, but I agree that it just goes to show that many more countries use it for warfare and… it is unsettling</p>

<p>I just listened to the opening guitar of Style (Taylor’s Version) again and I’m so glad our long national nightmare is finally over. I’m happy for Taylor of course, but I’m happiest for me, a person who has been subjected to bad TV on playlists for the last 4 years. (Not all the TVs are bad, some are better but some of them are much worse!)</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> <br />I can confirm from my experience in the ER 10 days ago. On ketamine, I just wanted to live and let live, and not hassle anyone.<br />Oddly enough, that&#39;s the same thin I want normally, though it was more fun feeling that way on ketamine.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne" class="u-url mention">@<span>ariadne</span></a></span> yeah same, i just expect it to hit different when i get to confront specific evidence.</p>
