I was referring to the “Zelensky actually changed this” part of the message I was replying to. What do you think that means, if not that they forgot when he became president?

The only other explanation I can imagine is that maybe they meant to imply that Poroshenko was in Putin’s pocket, but that seems unlikely (and is also i assume not what you inferred since you replied with a link from before his presidency).

That’s not what anyone is talking about here.

Look again at the comment i replied to and quoted in my initial comment which you subsequently replied to. Is there another way to interpret it which I’m missing?

That’s literally about his predecessor.

The link you posted is from January 2014, which is the time period of his predecessor’s predecessor’s predecessor.

Zelensky’s presidency started in 2019. As late as 2018, he was still releasing comedy films which were being banned in Ukraine under his predecessor’s anti-Russian cultural laws.

If you want to brush up on recent history, this video Ukraine: The Avoidable War is not bad.

(my contribution to lemmy’s beans arc)

The past leader of Ukraine was in Putin’s pocket. Zelensky actually changed this

Huh, that is interesting. Can you tell us any more about his predecessor?

big oof.

We can conclude: that photo isn’t AI-generated. You can’t get an AI system to generate photos of an existing location; it’s just not possible given the current state of the art.

the author of this substack is woefully misinformed about the state of technology 🤦

it has, in fact, been possible for several years already for anyone to quickly generate convincing images (not to mention videos) of fictional scenes in real locations with very little effort.

The photograph—which appeared on the Associated Press feed, I think—was simply taken from a higher vantage point.

Wow, it keeps getting worse. They’re going full CSI on this photo, drawing a circle around a building on google street view where they think the photographer might have been, but they aren’t even going to bother to try to confirm their vague memory of having seen AP publishing it? wtf?

Fwiw, I also thought the image looked a little neural network-y (something about the slightly less-straight-than-they-used-to-be lines of some of the vehicles) so i spent a few seconds doing a reverse image search and found this snopes page from which i am convinced that that particular pileup of cars really did happen as it was also photographed by multiple other people.

RedHat was a major military contractor with job postings like this current one [archive] long before they were bought by another older and larger military contractor.

them: fedora is the lesser evil

me: but why do they have job listings like this [archive] with requirements like “This position requires daily on-site work at Fort Meade and an active Top Secret/SCI clearance with Polygraph” ? 🤔
