This nurse: horrible

Commenters proposing various forms of vigilante justice and torture: horrible

This isn't Reddit! We don't have to be assholes here!

Just wait, soon we'll all be editing documents using tiny scalpels.

I expected to roll my eyes at this article but it's actually quite compelling and well written. The Kagi website's lack of nuanced privacy discussion already turned me off, and now I'm just going to pretend the service doesn't exist.

Correct, here's a guide to enabling Wayland.

I've never had OP's problem, but another avenue I'd consider is to set display settings in the nvidia-settings app, which can be opened with a GUI from the terminal. These settings are separate from those in the normal settings menu, in ways I don't totally understand.

They've been pretty transparent about their expectations for these early test flights, and today's achievements match those expectations. For example, they didn't bother securing all the thermal tiles because they didn't really expect to survive re-entry.

The rocket didn't go to LEO. This was intentional, because they knew that this flight was unlikely to survive and they're as concerned about space debris as you are. All the debris either burned up or fell into the ocean.

They made a bunch of really cool changes to address the issues from last time, and they seem to have worked almost perfectly. For one, they built a giant water cooled steel plate under the launch mount (affectionately called the Booster Bidet), and the engineering behind it is pretty neat.

Wow, you weren't kidding! Makes me think it's a sketchy add-on, even if it's not.

It may not be wise to enable 2FA until Lemmy fixes the implementation. It's currently very easy to get permanently locked out of your account, through no fault of your own. Especially if you don't have an email address linked to your account.

Thanks for being perhaps the only comment here trying to be helpful to those who aren't deeply familiar with the conflict.

I think an important emphasis here is that people shouldn't accept explanations of the situation that make things easy to understand.

I would buy a name card to place in front of it that says "Whimsical Porch Rock" because the name is vital to the experience.

Seriously, this comment section makes me want to leave Lemmy forever. Why would I build a community with these people?

The 4 was impossible to find until, like, four months ago. I've been subscribed to six stock notification services for three years and only got my hands on a Pi 4 this year (and it's not even the model I wanted!). The pandemic was nuts, but things seem to have stabilised.

Tildes has this feature, and I love it. There are a bunch of tags that can be applied to comments, both of the "this is a brilliant contribution" and "this is noise/low effort/silly" varieties.

In general, Tildes culture is high effort, but there's still room for fun. It's nice to see each platform innovating.

It's worth pointing out that they're now a publicly traded company.

What scanners do people recommend?

The homepage makes me think that it's a translation tool similar to DeepL. Is that the part you're recommending?

Woah. I assume Thunderbolt will still have latency benefits. For example, we're not going to have wireless eGPUs, surely? I hope I'm wrong, because wireless PCIe lanes would be amazing.

But isn't the key aspect here "orbit"? I get that the FTS would lengthen the trajectory of some of the debris, but would it be enough to create a stable orbit? The original trajectory was going to splashdown near Hawaii.

I certainly agree that there are lots of environmental downsides to space exploration that are increasingly overlooked, I'm just not sure that there's anything extra egregious about this flight.

I will say that it gives me hope that so many people are pushing back in threads like this. I've been trying a lot of platforms in recent months, and places like Tildes, HackerNews, and even Beehaw seem to be better able to have constructive conversations about heated topics. So we're not alone!

For sure! But I don't think non-advanced users should be enabling 2FA right now. It's puzzling that Lemmy pushed the feature in its current state to production.

Yeah, the concrete storm wasn't great last time. They did have some engineering reasons to believe it would work for a single launch, but it seems like there was more subsurface damage to the concrete than they realized. As far as I know the only property that was significantly damaged was related to the company, but I'm sure there were some smaller residential insurance claims for the dust.

Part of the reason Saturday's launch was delayed was so that more environmental assessments could be performed. A few weeks ago there some government scientists taking samples at the launch site for a baseline measurement to compare against in the future, and the entire project was reviewed by environmental regulators. So, those agencies were very involved in approving the launch license and SpaceX can't just do whatever the owner wants them to. I guess my point is that it's not strictly PR-speak, there really are qualified people making these decisions. But I agree that it's not great to have the facility in the middle of a sensitive wetland, and no doubt there was backdoor politicking. I wish SpaceX would do more to offset the harm they cause, but I still think the StarShip project does more good than harm.

Jeez, that sucks. Hope you get back in soon!

Looks way more capable than the PineTime, which is awesome. But there's no way the blood pressure sensor is reliable, right?

Vermillion VR, if it's available! I've been curious about it for a while.

This is really nice of you, thanks!
