Been up to my insane shenanigans again: decided to go and visit the Jellyfish Nebula, so now my ship the Mobile Gravity Well 2 (A Type 10 Defender, a ship wholly unsuitable to use as an exploration ship...) is about 4,000 lightyears from my 'home' system in Daesitiates and still heading out. 1,500 lightyears left to cover to my target system.

Would probably be faster if I didn't keep stopping along the way.

A screenshot from Elite Dangerous showing The Mobile Gravity Well 2 landed on the surface of a rocky world, the red disk of a a brown dwarf star hangs just over the horizon with a sprinkling of stars visible in the sky.
A screenshot from Elite Dangerous showing the Mobile Gravity Well 2 landed on a sandy-looking planet, with stars and planets visible in the blue sky behind it.
A screenshot from Elite Dangerous showing the galacy map with my current location at a system with the snappy name "Pheia Ain DD-A d14-13", 42 jumps from a system on the edge of the Jellyfish Nebula.

@sinbad With the galaxy map open, what I've done there is set it on Realistic Mode (4th icon down on the left), and then set the display options (penultimate icon on the left from the bottom) so that the Markers only has Navigation, Previous Jumps, Bookmarks, and Fleet Carriers on. Then I zoomed out as far as possible with the mouse wheel. Clicking and holding LMB lets you rotate the view around the pivot.

The Galaxy map is definitely pretty fiddly to use well.

@JeremiahFieldhaven ah it was just zoomed out to the max, I’ve never done that 😃

🦾 ARM / Snapdragon X Elite on laptops with Linux :linux:

Qualcomm has been working to upstream Linux support for this high-end "System on a Chip" device asset!

◉Snapdragon X Elite is a bit of a momentum for ARM powered processing
◉Upon success it'll disrupt the x86-processor (e.g. Intel dominated market)
◉One of ARM's benefits is great battery life

No me gusta.

Frontier is boiling the frog.

And I buy ~$60 ARX every other year and buy cosmetics when ARX discounts are going on

I pre-orderd Odyssey for the extra pioneer skins.

But I feel this isn't the way. 🤔🤬

Tho maybe we can earn more than 400 a week. Currently it would take a very long time to earn enough to buy Python MK II.

@massivelyop Given that FDev don't charge a monthly sub for Elite Dangerous, their only income related to the game is from box/expansion sales and cosmetic currency, I feel players are blinded to the fact that to keep the game alive it has to be profitable in some way or another. Otherwise it will all go away.

I'd love someone to make an Elite TV show spin-off. There is no shortage of novels and novellas with material to adapt.

'...CEO stated that a “long-term employee of 17 years… has been in the hospital...'

Yes, and the CEO should donate his days off first to set the moral example. At a minimum.

These fucking #elite assholes have forgotten even the meaning of #laissezfaire or #chivalry .

Do they even have an ethos?

(No #nihilism quotes from #thedude please.)

🚩 🏴 Des idées pour nos "gouvernants", cette #élite (#anarchie vaincra) 🚩 🏴

  • Les faire vivre au #RSA dans des 15m²

  • Conditionner leur RSA à un #TravailObligatoire

  • S'ils ont cotisé, réduire leurs indemnités #Chomage ainsi que leur durée

  • Les obliger à trouver un #emploi sans piston ni papa maman chez #FranceTravail

  • Leur imposer un emploi pour lequel ils n'ont aucune expérience, affinité ni cohérence par rapport à la demande

  • Leur imposer la triste réalité que l'ascenseur social est une "utopie" (un écran de fumée)

  • Leur faire comprendre que le #ruissellement est une fumisterie

  • Les voir galérer dans le rouge dès le 10 du mois

@Shibanarchiste@piaille.fr avatar

Bref les voir vivre ce que l'on vit.

Ce que l'on vit chaque jour. Chaque mois. Chaque année.

An anecdote with regard to the #FairnessDoctrine.
A little #thread.

As a preliminary matter, it’s difficult to get good info about the fairness doctrine because corporate media, of all stripes, loved its repeal. It makes money for both the #fox and #nbc #propaganda wings.

What’s the Fairness Doctrine, you ask? In a nutshell, it was an FCC policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses to present controversial issues of public importance, while doing so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints.

It was repealed in 1987 under the #Reagan administration, enthusiastically lap dogging to monied #elite media owners.

That’s background. You can read more at the link below.

Now for the impact, as told through an anecdotal experience I had today.
