@Zamfr It's hard to do arms projects with Germany, not so much because of production delays but because export control is so fierce - you'll have a much harder time recouping your costs by selling to random backwater dictatorships when that needs to go through parliamentary approval.

As such, it's in Dassault's interest to get more of the project on their side, both immediately (more project money spent on them rather than German partners) and long-term (all those additional deals), and the French government would like to keep the current investment split while getting a larger piece of the pie, too.

Of course that changes the economics for Germany, which agreed to some workload / investment split under the assumption that the German public money going into the project will prop up its own industry to a given degree.

I guess the weird thing is that other countries still try to co-develop weapons with Germany

@littlealex That guy should be shot for saying what he did. Cancelled a big advantage that we might have had.

@littlealex Glad to hear it! So annoying they have to be connected up to iTunes any time they are just out the box or need a hardware reset 🤪

@toxomat .. or do like the russians, duct-tape a Garmin to the cocpit-window. @littlealex

@littlealex sure. A thing where if you even daydream about making the colour one panel one shade lighter and they'd decertify the lot could be jailbroken as long as you enjoy redoing the lot.

Maybe, and this is going to sound absolutely nuts, but maybe if we just rounded up all of the elite negative social entities, like psychos, child rapists, and other shitty things, and I mean people who make the world far worse factually and in the eyes of most actual people, we could, especially if we sent them to space, where they could be bombarded with loneliness and radiation, we might be able to live without the jets. Maybe.

@rythur @frlan @littlealex @drwho "we might be able to live without the jets. Maybe."

Hell No, then we can fly em for fun!

@frlan @littlealex @drwho @schnedan

Wow, how did I miss the FUN?

Imagine THAT world.

You're definitely not going to space, man!

@Tamtam That has not been mine.

@littlealex Allright if it is jail broken then what happens to warranty and continuing support? LM does update signatures for ECW and other fixes. Who will get that done?

In #IT and software we never crack open a proprietary provided solution. It is because of support and SLA.

@Tamtam @drwho the propaganda and lies didn’t come from the aether, they were made by people. Leave people in a room, they’ll lie and propagandize.

@littlealex I think someone has underestimated the sheer mass of software in that jet and the implications of jailbreaking it.
Don't get me wrong, reverse engineering the software is probably a good thing, but the jailbreaking part is probably not.
