Ukrainian Pacifists: War is a crime against humanity

On April 17, 2022, Ukrainian pacifists adopted a statement reposted here...

Ukrainian Pacifist Movement is gravely concerned about the active burning of bridges for a #peaceful #resolution of #conflict between #Russia and #Ukraine on both sides and signals of intentions to continue the #bloodshed indefinitely to achieve some sovereign ambitions.

We condemn the #Russian decision to invade Ukraine on 24 February 2022, which led to a fatal escalation and thousands of deaths, reiterating our #condemnation of the reciprocal #violations of the #ceasefire envisaged in Minsk agreements by Russian and #Ukrainian combatants in #Donbas prior to the escalation of Russian #aggression.

We condemn the mutual labeling of parties to the conflict as Nazi-alike enemies and #war criminals, stuffed into legislation, reinforced by the official #propaganda of extreme and irreconcilable #hostility. We believe that the law should build #peace, not incite war; and #history should give us examples how people can return to peaceful life, not excuses for continuing the war. We insist that accountability for crimes must be established by an independent and competent judicial body in due process of law, in result of unbiased and impartial investigation, especially in the most serious crimes, such as #genocide. We emphasize that the tragic consequences of military brutality must not be used to incite #hatred and justify new #atrocities, on the contrary, such #tragedies should cool the fighting spirit and encourage a persistent search for the most bloodless ways to end the war.

We condemn military actions on both sides, the hostilities which harm civilians. We insist that all shooting should be stopped, all sides should honor the memory of killed people and, after due grief, calmly and honestly commit to peace talks.

We condemn statements on the Russian side about the intention to achieve certain goals by military means if they cannot be achieved through #negotiations.

We condemn statements on the Ukrainian side that continuation of peace talks depends on winning the best negotiating positions at the battlefield.

We condemn the unwillingness of both sides to cease fire during the peace talks.

We condemn the practice of forcing #civilians to conduct military service, to perform military tasks and to support the army against the will of peaceful people in Russia and Ukraine. We insist that such practices, especially during hostilities, grossly violate the principle of distinction between militaries and civilians in international #humanitarian law. Any forms of contempt for the human right to conscientious objection to military service are unacceptable.

We condemn all military support provided by Russia and NATO countries for militant radicals in Ukraine provoking further escalation of the military #conflict.

We call on all peace-loving people in Ukraine and around the world to remain peace-loving people in all circumstances and to help others to be peace-loving people, to collect and disseminate knowledge about peaceful and #nonviolent way of life, to tell the #truth that unites peace-loving people, to #resist evil and #injustice without #violence, and debunk myths about necessary, beneficial, inevitable, and just war. We don’t call for any particular action now to ensure that peace plans will not be targeted by hatred and attacks of #militarists, but we are confident that #pacifists of the world have a good imagination and experience of practical realization of their best dreams. Our actions should be guided by hope for a peaceful and happy future, and not by fears. Let our peace work bring closer the future from dreams.

War is a crime against humanity. Therefore, we are determined not to support any kind of war and to strive for the removal of all causes of war.”

A quotation by Gaiman, Neil

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.

So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, Do it.

Make your mistakes, next year and forever.

Neil Gaiman (b. 1960) British fabulist

Since 2009, the LRO’s camera (LROC) has been mapping the lunar surface with resolutions of between 1m/pixel and 0.5m/pixel. In 2011, NASA announced that LRO had briefly descended in altitude and returned pictures of 0.25m/pixel.
For comparison, the cameras aboard the privately owned GeoEye-1 satellite have a resolution of 0.41m/pixel and are perfectly capable of distinctly resolving cars and humans from an altitude of nearly 700km (435.7miles).

Ich hab mir neulich 'ne HDMI-Capture-Card gekauft, für schmales Geld (26€ oder so). Und die ersten Versuche waren so enttäuschend, dass ich schon dachte ich hätte einen einen kompletten Fehlkauf gemacht und zu wenig Geld ausgegeben, weil die Framerate brutal niedrig war (ich hab versucht 'ne Nintento-Switch zu capturen). Ich hatte eine Weil noch die Hoffnung, dass es irgendwie am langsamen Rechner liegt und dass der es nicht schafft all die Frames schnell genug runter zu rechnen um sie anzuzeigen oder wegzuspeichern, aber nach einigem hin und her sah es eher so aus als gabe die Capture-Card einfach nicht mehr Frames raus. Also ein echter Fehlkauf?

Ja schon, aber es ist nicht ganz so schlimm ist es dann doch nicht, in dieser Anleitung habe ich nachgelesen, dass so Geräte (Video-Input) verschiedene Ausgabe-Varianten unterstützen können und man sich die ausgeben lassen kann und bei der CaptureCard kommt da folgendes raus:

So und was man hier sieht ist dass die höheren Auflösungen (HD, fullHD) nur geringe Frameraten erlauben, nämlich 5FPS für FullHD und 10FPS für 720p. Beides natürlich eher enttäuschend, aber wenn ich mich mit 800x600 zufrieden gebe komme ich auf immerhin 20FPS was vielleicht in manchen Situationen ein ausreichender Kompromiss ist. Wenn man ein Video mit den üblichen 25 oder 30 FPS macht sehen 20 vielleicht noch nicht furchtbar aus, sondern nur etwas ruckelig, während Auflösungen unterhalb von 800x600 auch nicht mehr ansehnlich sind.

Also beide Werte (Auflösung und Framerate) sind damit quasi an der Schmerzgrenze an der ich noch damit arbeiten kann ^^

Was ich noch nicht weiß ist was die "image"-Varianten sollen, da fallen ja angeblich bis zu 60FPS bei 1080p raus, falls ich die wegspeichern könnte… das wäre natürlich interessant.
