🤮 sorry had to throw up after hearing such a fucking vulgar word

The Rot

I don’t get the hate against the lemmy devs tbh, they have their (perhaps controversial) political views but they leave everyone that’s not on their site alone and it feels like they develop lemmy pretty impartially

sure they might ban you off ml but that’s their site and they get to do whatever they want with it, just like every other instance

i mean network effect is a thing i guess but that’s not as important on lemmy where there are usually similarly large communities about genetic things on most major instances

im just mocking the stats in the title because it implies that women and children are targeted but it’s not like prioritising men or adults makes it any better

it’s not like you can ethically decide whether any one of these age groups/genders are more guilty/innocent/valuable/important

killing through genocide is similarly unjust however you do it, it’s just that sometimes discriminating some groups makes it more beneficial for the genociding party (e.g. deaths of children are more emotionally powerful when used in media)

the stats don’t say that they don’t discriminate though, it’s just saying they don’t discriminate based on their status as a child or an adult, or gender

wow did you know that ~50% of people are female and ~50% of people in Gaza are children? what a shocking statistic that ~70% of people killed are women or children!

tess.itjust.works?

it’s also called gamescope -F nearest

or using blinue/magpie on w*ndows

you can do two spaces
at the end of a line then newline to keep that newline in the formatting

it keeps like line spacing unlike with double newlines

you all need to learn to distinguish between the people/the government/the country

maybe it’s just because that’s the more memorable/unique parts of their name?

trump/biden is much more distinctive than donald/joe
clinton could refer to both bill or hillary
obama/kamala is more memorable than barack/harris (though maybe for obama that’s just because I’ve heard ‘obama’ so many times)

I’m not saying that’s definitely not true, just that there might be other reasons why

gives off the same ‘solution looking for a problem’ vibes as corporate marketing around ai lmao

I don’t like it because it’s placing an objective statement on a subjective matter. it’s also apparently run by a single person (which is understandable given what it needs to do) but I just don’t like the vibes that gives off.

I think it’d be a lot better if it just stated objective things (e.g. where their funding comes from, the corporate relationships, country they’re based in)

iirc wood was used by the chinese for their heat shield’s ablator or something?

different tone

that would be nice but if it was led by NASA (aka contractors like jpl, lockmart and boeing) there’s no way the sats could’ve been produced as cheaply and quickly imo, because NASA’s strengths lie in experimental/science focused things, not operational things

also they wouldn’t get the in house pricing for Falcon 9 launches that spacex gets, and spacex wouldn’t be able to use starlink launches to test out new boosters for crew launches

i mean there’s nothing stopping NASA from doing it (aka Congress funding it and telling NASA to do it), it’s not like spacex is going to turn down customers for their rockets

this is just my opinion but taking away personality to appeal to a wider audience is one of the worst things modern megacorps do, the strength of the fediverse is the power it gives to individuals and communities over corporations with money, and so personality is one of the things the fediverse needs to maintain to succeed

it’s usually ironic lmao

chose the instance because of the name, stuck for the uptime, reliability and admins

34 is 1 more than the amount of times Atlantis ever flew lmao

doing 34 consecutively is insane

for the royalty it’s only 2 of each
