Grab the crowbar at the bottom and attack the enemies on the page

it’s almost like all these different regulatory bodies you mentioned don’t serve the people, but instead the wealthy

damn, its so strange that a rich guy was able to throw thousands of satellites into space, in a manner that completely changes humanity’s relationship to the cosmos, without any meaningful form of public debate or discussion.

even more strange when you consider that the owner of the company is one of the most talked about people on the planet. i wonder how he’s able to keep getting away with it.

If only there was a way to access the Internet that didn’t require constantly launching space junk into temporary orbit

Not beside the point. Good or bad, this feature will mean that some workers will see less trips and make less money. That’s a simple mathematical fact.

Alternatively, in a world where gig workers made a livable salary regardless of the number of jobs slung their way, these safety changes would be much more decoupled from affecting the take-home pay of one of the poorest sector of workers in this country.

Everyone in the comments getting played like a fiddle, the real takeaway here is that all “gig economy” workers deserve a guaranteed hourly salary at a livible wage

I hope one day the full story gets told about the tremendous pressure and media scrutiny checo has contended with. Its very strange, there is always some excuse preventing him from getting any positive recognition. Undoubtably, race plays a factor here, even subconsciously.

If he fails to get on the podium, he apparently needs to be fired immediately. When he has a bad qualifying and cleanly overtakes half a dozen cars to finish 2nd, then its entirely the car that’s responsible. and, i guess, also due to his ‘south american’ heritage.

Ironically, due to his inconsistent qualifying, and exceptional racecraft and tire management, he’s one of the more entertaining drivers to watch on raceday.

should go ahead and ban image uploading to lemmy.world, as there is likely a ton of illegal, copyright-violating content that hasn’t been stress-tested for fair use.

Probably doesn’t help that all fish are now chock full of PFAS

I don’t believe that there are microwave-safe plastics

backdoors for thee, none for me

I see a connection between elon’s increasingly ‘wacky’ persona with the start of the cozy financial relationship he has with saudi arabia. imo, he’s serving as a captured asset for oil giants to further their influence and interests in the west, in a similar vein to all the recent acquisitions of popular US/UK sports teams by the middle east.

The ‘eccentric’ behavior, to me, is 100% intentional. A layer of security is built when your rivals, regulators, and the general public are unable to predict your next move. A ‘white noise’ is created: for every midnight decision to change your company logo to dogecoin, intentional and sinister actions slip thru, such as the banning of twitter in turkey during their recent elections.

This strategy of wrapping yourself in layers of ambiguity was explored by Adam Curtis in his doc Hypernormalization, describing how this has been the central tactic Putin has used in Russia for decades.

Lenovo has spent the last decade destroying the repairablity of ThinkPads. They’ve only ‘rediscovered’ the ‘innovations’ they stripped from their laptops, like a removable battery, because they are scared of framework.

framework mainboards in dedicated cases could end up being a better option for making a small form-factor desktop with easily upgradable components

I use Inoreader, it provides a great way to quickly get up to speed on the news, without relying on ‘human curators’ on reddit or twitter. I’ve been able to add lemmy and kbin community feeds no problem, and it currently serves as my ‘front page’, until lemmy itself becomes more stable.

Auto-de-duplication and word filters help me keep my sanity and avoid the constant musk-worship on tech sites.

The adoption of starlink by the military is the last nail in the coffin for ground based astronomy.
