Please stop calling Macron’s party centrist. It’s right wing and has always been, regardless of what they pretend.

Maybe I didn’t get my facts straight, but iirc there are around 7.5k satellites up there, with starlink current count about 5.5k. And I think I read they got the greenlight for the 7.5k gen 2 sats launches.
That looks like a scale change to me. Associated with the short lifespan (which contrasts with the situation 30 years ago, where launches were more expensive), it’s kind of a new situation and should have warranted a more careful approach.

So musk isn’t the first one to launch satellites, I agree. But the way it’s done is kinda new, and mostly on the worse side. And I’m not saying the old way was good, and not absolving previous actors from responsability in the pollution.

Like maybe wait a few years and finance some science to check that your mega constellation of satellites (built to fail after only a few years to make sure your rocket company never goes out of work) won’t be a fucking nuisance on so many levels before you actually launch them ?
This “get all the facts before taking action” ?

Edit: I think I knee-jerked

That’s true, and it’s a subset of another reality: execs are ruining life.

I love orcas and the idea that some of them are doing something because we pissed them off is really sexy.

But a 15-ish meters sailboat is not a yacht, far from there, and in Europe a lot of people who sail are working class (more teachers and engineers than uber drivers or cleaning crews, but still far from rich).
In this case, the crew consisted of two members of the Ocean Care NGO. The crew members and the NGO stated that they didn’t blame the orcas and didn’t see there an agression from them but believed more in a kind of game because the orcas noticed boats can be rocked and find it fun.

Let’s eat the rich ourselves, they are much more our responsability than the orca’s.

Thanks a lot for this detailed, understandable and kind answer :)

The article talks about sudo and doas being SUID binaries and having a larger attack surface than run0 would. Could someone ELI5 what this means?

But I like feeling like a real manly man when I eat my real manly meat in a real manly way with my real manly bros, surely that’s worth a few hundreds thousands human lives a year ?

(And btw, plant-based diets could also save 100 million animal lives a year)

I still use PWAs with firefox, but as an addon. Works flawlessy so far.
Here is the one I use, just in case: Progressive web apps for Firefox

What do you need a charger for? We’ll all be dead long before the battery is done /j

Oh thanks for the correction, I was mistaken. I’m happy I was wrong :)

About anticheat: it depends which games you’re playing. If they use Valve’s EasyAnti Cheat you should have no problem (been playing dota2, cs2, csgo… without trouble for some time now). If they use malware kernel-level anticheat (iirc helldivers 2, valorant, league of legends) you won’t be able to run them in linux and should keep a windows dual boot.

CS2 linux version has some issues. Sometimes forcing steam to install the windows version and to run it via proton makes things better.

how am I supposed to say to people ‘hey come and try out lemmy’ when they’re gong to see this sovcit Facebook mom stuff?

They’re going to read comments shilling for corpos, excusing China/Russia/Israel’s human rights violations… and a link towards an open source license at the end of someone’s comments is what you’re worried about?

And what’s the point of your comment, apart for trying to spark a controversy out of nowhere?

Why are you so intent on giving them s**t about their licensing of their comments?
They cause harm to no one, they feel better because doing so is relevant to them.

I might be wrong, but your question seems asked in bad faith: I am under tbe impression that most people on lemmy servers have at least a basic understanding of the privacy and copyright infringements of the training of AI models.

Their will to license their comment probably has little to do with the very unlikely individual actions you describe and more to do with data licensing from big corporate entities.

People actually do that? Wtf

But don’t worry, they are stil allowed to make your life and the life of coming generation more and more difficult #climatechange without having to do anything about it (except pretend r&d about “biofuels” and “electric planes” to look cool).

Edit: fixed typo and clarified

Thanks for the info!

Is there some drama I’m not aware of here?
