Born on a Thursday ("Thor's Day") ... I'm a Process Controls Engineer (Pneumatics, PLCs, DCS Systems, UHF Comms) and Technical Author; with an MSc in A.I. (that dates back to the 1990s!) plus 30 yrs of accumulated overseas work experience, mostly with "big-named" companies. ******************** NOTE: You can't ZAP me inside Nostr becoz I don't use a Mobile Phone.

Thor — a prominent icon in Norse mythology — is a major inspiration for all Germanic and Nordic (and some Slavic) peoples. Thor is most commonly depicted (visualized) wielding his trusty hammer; a.k.a. Mjöllnir (“Lightning”), which my Avatar symbolically represents.

While it is of course true that Ukraine (aided by both the UK and USA) did recently launch a successful assault upon grounded Russian Strategic Bombers (at four airfields simultaneously) using a fleet of Quadcopters, it is also true that a significant amount of video and JPEG footage of the damage allegedly caused by this operation really does include known fakes ... derived from video game footage that is so realistic they are readily accepted by many as actual footage of those recent attacks. On June 1 alone — the day of Ukraine’s large-scale strike on Russian airfields — a known TikTok account posted nine videos compiled from video game footage, which then spread "like a virus" across social media. One clip amassed around six million views on the original platform. Notably, Kyiv has previously passed-off ARMA 3 gameplay as real combat footage. Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense once released a video allegedly showing its air defense systems shooting down four Russian helicopters in the Kherson region at night — a clip later identified as coming from the same video game. So please continue to be careful and vigilant while trying to decide who to take notice of when scanning Social Media feeds ... and this advice especially applies to those dupes who for some reason think Nostr shall be inherently immune to all those misinformation problems seen on other SM platforms.
