An #explosion rocked a concert hall in the Moscow region & several #gunmen opened fire on theatergoers Fri evening, acc/to Russian authorities & videos from the scene, a deadly attack >1 week after #Putin was re-elected.
The #US had warned #Iran of a possible #attack ahead of twin #bombings in Jan that killed ≥103 people & wounded 211 others at a memorial service for Iran’s fmr top general, Qassim #Suleimani, who was killed by a US #drone strike 4 yrs before.
Massive sound of slow, noisy, intense instrumental doom from Austria that crushes and pulverizes what is left of your soul while it melts the cartlidge from within your ear holes.
> Ukraine is now building autonomous attack drones in large numbers. These do not need human pilots, a game-changing technology with implications far beyond this conflict.
Emergence,
squirming way,
stumbling newness
with a cut bruise,
a rough capture
from the sea current
of creatures angling
to reach out, be next
instead. Saved,
he moves on,
an unborn journey
he'd been.
Some people would take a photo. I shot 156 * 48MP = 7.3Gpx of data, computed a 3d model in WebODM and rendered it with moody lighting in Blender, as one does.
(Final toning & vignette in LuminarAI, just for completeness.)

En me promenant dans les rues de
Pointe-à-Pitre, j'ai de suite imaginé cette photo. Je me suis senti obligé de la faire.
Même si le vol n'a duré que quelques secondes, au niveau de la législation on repassera. Et je n'encourage absolument personne à prendre le risque de voler dans une zone urbaine. J'ai été condamné par la suite.
Pour l'histoire de la construction de la ville, elle a été ravagée par un tremblement de terre en février 1843, suivi d'un incendie en juillet 1871. Ceci explique son côté "damier" qu'on retrouve dans la plupart des villes récentes.

Je venais d'apprendre le décès de mon grand père. J'écrivais.
Pauvre idiot.
Toi qui m’as encadré une majeure partie de ma vie. Qui m’as vu grandir. Qui m’as servi de tuteur.
Toi qui savais me remettre à ma place. Toi que j’ai vu vieillir. Toi que j’ai défié.
Pendant que mes rides apparaissaient, les tiennes se creusaient.
Pendant que mon corps se renforçait, le tien s’affaiblissait.
Et, alors que mes envies d’ailleurs prenaient le dessus, tu étais toujours là quand je revenais.
Tel un repère.
Tel un grand-père.
Remember that #Formula1 overhead #drone video a few days ago? There's a cool making-of with the Dutch guys who developed, built, and controlled that drone!
One of my favorite musicians and humans, violinist #JessicaMoss (of #SilverMtZion, #OiseauxTempete, etc.), has put up a 42-minute live performance as a name-your-price, with all proceeds going to UNRWA. Check it out for #BandcampFriday, along with her other solo work (I highly recommend her 2021 album, Phosphenes).
This seems silly but I much prefer the noises the DJI Air 2S makes to what the Mini 4 Pro made. Far more pleasant. The motor check sounds like crickets and the echo effect on the start noise trails off nicely.
Mini 4 Pro motors were like crunch crunch and then POW! I'm alive! So agressive. Calm down Mini 4.
Sold my DJI Mini 4 Pro and traded up (down?) for a DJI Air 2S. Pictures about the same or better. Video worse. But it's got that sweet sweet SDK support for 3rd party apps. :badabing:
Despite hype about drone warfare and increasing use of drones, Ukraine has not dislodged Russia from the Donbas region, and Russia has not broken Ukraine’s will to resist.
#Israel has said it has informed the families of 31 people held in the territory since 7 October that their relatives are dead. The news came as the Qatari prime minister said #Hamas had given a “generally positive” response to proposals for a deal trading a break in the fighting and release of #Palestinian prisoners for the return of more #hostages.
"On March 2, 2024 #CaioDuilio, in her role of flagship of #OperationAspides, the vessel shot down a #drone launched by #Houthi rebels in the #RedSea using her 76 mm main gun. The drone, with characteristics similar to those used in previous attacks, was located about six kilometres (3.7 mi) from the Italian ship, flying towards it." - Caio Duillo [Wikipedia]
