Not sure if /s, but just in case: The Gripen engine (the „power plant“) is built under license and derived from the General Electric F404 engine, which means that the US basically has a veto vote on who SAAB can sell the Gripen to. Replacing that engine with a european-built (be it Dassault or Airbus or whatever) alternative would make the Gripen a much better plane given the current state of affairs.

I also recently finished the Dark Tower and man… don‘t read the finale sitting in a crowded bus like I did, too many feels ._.

The final book of the Dark Tower series! Been slowly working my way through them, and just started the seventh volume.

Stimmt schon, ich hatte dabei vor allem an diesen Vergleich gedacht, wie ein Mastodonbeitrag in Lemmy vs. ein nativer Lemmy-URL-Beitrag ausssieht.

Genau; das der Post hier (mässig formatiert) auftaucht passiert ja einfach dank ActivityPub-Magic und keine Bridge oder Bot oder sowas, oder?

Warum "nur von Mastodon mit einer Bridge herübergezogen"? Ist nicht eine der zentralen Fähigkeiten der ganzen AcitivityPub-Software, das eben genau ein Mastodon-Post auch in Lemmy auftauchen kann? Oder ist bei Lemmy da was anders?

This is just so hilarious and sad at the same time. For some context, the Swiss military had (after a lengthy and expensive process) selected the Gripen to replace its fleet of aging F18s. That decision was then overturned by the Swiss voters via a referendum, causing the whole process to restart and finally, years later, selecting the F35… and now we are back at square one I guess.

Who is left at this point? Japan and maybe India?

This reminds me of that one subreddit, “science diagrams that look like shitposts“ or something like that?
