I’ve had this feeling that since there are forces that do not want us to have free speech, and that the destruction of Reddit and Twitter does this effectively, creating a chilling effect, destroying social links and communities. Might it not be an intentional effort to stifle the ability of the downtrodden to organize and...
Somehow I don’t think Errol Musk knew that much about the geology. Allegedly he bought the shares on a whim without first visiting the mine, which was in a different country.
I vaguely remember a video about history of weapons that goes like “rock, fast rock, pointy rock, (…) spicy rock dropped from big metal bird” (nuke) but I can’t find it again. Does it ring a bell for anyone here?
There is already a total count of up- and downvotes, but please never add karma to Lemmy. We don’t want to deal with karma farmers and minimal karma requirements to post. I don’t care about the moderation issues because karma brought more harm than good. Please never add that bloody dreadful thing to Lemmy. I already saw a...
If someone wants karma they could host a modified instance where every post gets thousands of upvotes for free. Other instances can’t really verify whether that’s accurate.
Wenn wir die 500€ für Arbeitslose durch 500€ bedingungslos ersetzen würden, dann würden sich kleine Jobs, die nicht viel zahlen aber auch nicht viel Aufwand brauchen, vielleicht mehr lohnen.
SpaceX wants new regulations regarding satellite brightness.
Their own satellites (at least the second generation ones) fulfill the requirements set by the astronomers at the Rubin Observatory, +7 mag (10x darker than the original ones). Meanwhile the satellites of the competitors OneWeb and Amazon can't fulfill them without major design changes, because the altitude the satellites orbit at makes a significant difference.
If the recommendations of the Rubin Observatory report were turned into regulations now, Starlink would barely be affected (they'd just have to stop the gen1 sat production a little early) while the competition would be set back several years.
One issue with the fediverse right now is that there are many redundant communities. Like !technology, !technology, !technology, etc all having essentially the same topic....
For people who previously used SMS and had their contacts saved in the phone's pre-installed contact app, WhatsApp could use all those contacts out of the box.
Mirror film. The antenna have a highly reflective film coating that reflects all light from the sun in a specific direction in space, away from Earth. The parts of the satellite that aren't flat enough for the mirror film do use the dark paint.
The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don't think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches....
If per-user instance filters are implemented, perhaps instances could have "default blacklists" for new users for stuff like exploding-heads or lemmygrad that most people don't want to see, with the option to manually un-block them if someone does want to see that.
Nope, linking the video file directly creates a download link. It doesn't display a video and clicking the link downloads the mp4. Adding onlineplayer.com makes it try (but fails) to display a video inside lemmy, but clicking the link plays it.
A lot of smart people tend to know a lot about some topics and be overconfident in others. Musk knows a lot about rocketry, but his software expertise is about 25 years out of date. He did write websites himself back in the zip2 days, but back in the 90s web development was a very different beast than it is today. I'm not that surprised that he went into Twitter thinking "it's a website, I know this" and ended up being wrong.
Is the destruction of Twitter and Reddit a conspiracy or am I just paranoid?
