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?

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.

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 Musk knows a lot about rocketry, but his software expertise is about 25 years out of date.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.

Maybe on the support ship, but not on the sub. Starlink frequency can't penetrate water.

Inzwischen gibt es neue Daten zu den neuen Starlink v2-mini Satelliten, die mit Reflektorfolie auf +7 mag gekommen sind, also ungefähr so dunkel wie von der Fachkonferenz gefordert.

Was in dem Paper von der Konferenz besonders krass ist sind die Plots die die Abhängigkeit von der Orbit-Höhe zeigen. Starlink bei 550 km ist wesentlich weniger problematisch wie OneWeb bei 1200 km. Was Kessler-Syndrom angeht ist der niedrigere Orbit von Starlink auch ca. Faktor 100 mal weniger problematisch.

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.

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.

Does it cause issues if domain and tld match?

One winning is not necessary desirable, the whole point of federation is to spread things out over many instances.

One issue with the fediverse right now is that there are many redundant communities. Like [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc all having essentially the same topic.

I think the easiest solution to this is to take reddit's multireddit feature, allowing users to create their own "technology" multi-community that includes all the popular technology communities from all the instances. Thanks to federation, the user could interact with this multi as if it was one big community. Perhaps a way to share the multi with others so that all the component communities get federate-mirrored to the new user's instance would be needed too.

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.

Brilliant Pebbles. A space-based ICBM interceptor program from the 80s.

The one part of Reagan's Star Wars that would totally have worked if they'd deployed it, but the Soviet Union didn't last long enough...
