To accomodate different instances and different infrastructure I would assume. My app lets me turn the display name and the profile picture on and off, but again the size of the photo and the dual display name and @ takes up a lot of screen space and it’s easier to have them off.

My app, and clearly a lot of mobile apps, show the @, which is like the legal name, so cupcakezealot@lemmy.blajah.zone, it does not show the account display name, which is Katy, until I click on the profile. This is most likely due to screen size and for readability. Same with the profile picture, do not see it until I click on the profile.

Odd comment to make but okay.

Screwing around still covers parts 1-3 though. You say something stupid (hypothesis), your friend dares you to do it (experimentation planning), and you do it (experiment).

Ukraine has been using a patchwork of different weapons and calibers since the wars beginning. If we want to say all infantry weapons being sent are of the same caliber they have two old Soviet weapons and now NATO standard hardware. Grunts can carry a 7.62x39mm AK, a 5.56x45mm M4, or a 5.45x39mm AK. Ukrainian soldiers have been spotted carrying even older caliber weapons like the Mosin's 7.62x54mmR, 7.62x51mm NATO in FAL rifles, and I wouldn't be surprised if older equipment is in use. If this drags out long I'm guessing we will see the gradual standardization around 5.56 with NATO equipment as stores of Russian surplus runs out if it hasn't already and Ukraine is relying on captured ammunition for it's AK platform weapons.

On another note I am surprised the US hasn't supplied 5.56 chambered AK's, habits die hard in soldiers and I'm sure many would like to have an AK made reliably in the caliber being supplied.
