Musk is gross and SpaceX has some questionable marketing claims that you’ve identified, but I don’t see how anyone could claim that anything about the company’s products are a shitshow.

Falcon 9 has radically changed the economics of the space industry, and has no competition to force lower prices.

Starship has had a very successful testing campaign, and operates within a different development paradigm than Saturn. They’ve shown more progress on more technology in the last year than almost any rocket ever. It won’t be long before Starship has demonstrated all the capabilities you mentioned. While the price tag is large in absolute terms, it will be very cheap relative to the competition.

Dear Moon was not canceled by SpaceX, and no one who follows the industry has ever believed Musk’s timelines.

I guess I’m confused, because everything I know about Starship points towards it being one of the most incredible engineering accomplishments ever. There are lots of other problems with SpaceX’s leadership, environmental impact, and work culture, but aren’t the products inspiring?

What a weird situation. I suppose it’s nice those workarounds exist, even if they’re not ideal.

Interesting! I assume it involves a smart plug and an automation script that monitors battery level?

Wow, Graphene really doesn’t have charging limits?

I assume this is the discussion you referred to, and I think it broke my trust in the project.

Edit: As far as I can tell, many of the frustrating parts of that thread are from random posters and not devs. I’m still annoyed that such a basic feature is considered controversial.

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.

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?

I agree that some people need harder tones, but I don’t think anyone needs the abusive language that Linus used. If that feels like the only option, I think it probably means the person has gaps in their social toolbox.

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

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.

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

I love this.

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.

It’s pretty incredible that Don’t Look Up is on this list. I’m using this as my Friday inspiration that maybe science policy communication IS possible if we learn how to package it.

Do you find that the mobile Logseq app takes ages to open, or is my phone just too old? I really want to like Logseq, but it wasn’t snappy enough.

I can relate to this so I’ll just add that aligning my diet with my values was the best decision I’ve ever made. Being able to eat without feeling guilty/confused/complicated was life-changing. I didn’t do it all at once, or torture myself.

And we live at this amazing time when you can be lazy AND get amazing not-morally-horrible food! Typing this as I munch on an entire package of addictive store bought animal-free chocolate chip cookies :P

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.

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.
