Haven’t ventured there in a while but good to see that I didn’t mess up my first public ship location:)

What can I say, it’s a big ship:)

Haha, old habits die hard.

No worries, I get the point you’re making, makes sense.

Of course, but that will be a manual task or done with very high res sat imagery. Need to know if step 1 is possible before someone can even consider step 2.

Galen and our wider tech team have built many tools that are now regularly used by Bellingcat researchers and other newsrooms. One such tool is the Shadow Finder tool, built alongside @gaborfriesen.bsky.social , that @georainbolt.bsky.social tested out last year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQIj...

He’s also a GNSV member (not a super big surprise though)

It should mean unknown ground vehicle as far as i’m aware. If you have a reason to believe it’s not, it’s possible that ads-b is misclassifying it?

Veel demonstranten hebben de mogelijkheid om (zonder gewelddadig verzet) gearresteerd te worden van te voren al geaccepteerd. Dat was in Scheveningen natuurlijk anders.
Plus, deze demonstraties (zeker die van gisteren in het universiteits gebouw) zijn op plekken die makkelijker af te zetten zijn.

To a large extent it’s the same. Declaring martial law usually comes with the argument that they have some form of support (e.g. “silent majority”). But it simultaneously admits that a significant enough portion of the populace is so vehemently against you that you need martial law to stay in power.

If you want a jesting but semi-serious add on to the blog (which is how I usually see this problem):

If AI can do your OSI(NT) research for you, it’s time to spend some time learning more advanced research methods (especially for the problems where AI can’t be meaningfully applied yet).

Not the worst airport to get lost in as long as you make it to your flight in the end :)

(Even better if you already know how to use 3D modeling software cause then I'll always be able to help, even when I'm short on time myself that week)

I’m considering it the ultimate online “objective reporting award” whenever one person adds me to something like “zionist allies” and someone else to “hamas supporters.”

Especially cause it could easily be combined with other media (be that text or audiovisual) for people who want an in-depth version while still providing the core information to a broader audience.
