Not yet, but they can reach past the Ural mountains, they've hit targets in Yekaterinburg and Omsk. Most Russians live west of the Urals, so disrupting all that airspace is enough to disrupt personal life and production facilities. It won't disrupt resource extraction related logistics, but that's because that was never by air to begin with.

You are technically correct, they did transport more than one person. They brought their own convoy of armored cars and whatever else they need to feel safe. From the plane's cargo measurements on Wikipedia I would estimate that it can carry ~10 cars if you want to be able to just drive in and out of it. Even though they probably would have had some spare space to move additional things, it doesn't make sense to me to be super suspicious of the size of the plane.

Perhaps it makes more sense to have an extension that checks that the served javascript is correct? That should be a very simple, basic extension that doesn't increase the attack surface much. Users who care to verify the code can use that and everyone else can live with the convenience.

Not sure if it makes much sense, it's probably more work than it's worth and maybe leads to doing the same thing twice.

I suspect they mean that you can run your own instance, but in practice most users fall for the 'trap' of using someone else's instance where they have no control over what happens to their accounts and what they post.

I don't think it's that big of a deal and thay you're absolutely right that you don't have to support a developer or that you can hop to another instance, giving users more equity and agency.

All those things are things Ukraine has tried or is trying. Unmanner vehicles are mainly used for frontline logistics, but some with machine guns have held positions that infantry couldn't. Drones appear to be useful in pretty much any situation, but infantry is still needed for taking/keeping control of terrain. Tanks are well suites for assaults, even with drones buzzing arround, but again with the support of infantry and all those other things you mentioned. It seems that war had changed quite a bit, but everything still revolves around infantry.

Vivaldi is extremely bloated, and the syncing doesn't sync a lot of settings and often stops working altogether. But despite that, it's still the best browser I know.

I really wish they had options to turn off all the bloat (e.g. email, vpn, password manager, notes, translate, etc.). I'm sure many people, including myself, use a subset of those non-browser features, but there should be options to turn off the features we don't use (instead of just hiding the clutter).
