It's true, I really do have concepts of a plan. Beyond that..?
  • Holy moly, I'm not big on politics but I had to look up the clip of this and in addition to the ridiculousness of saying this, he actually talks like how people meme his speech patterns. I thought it was embellishments and exaggerations.

  • TIL Gravity is not about mass pulling other mass. It's mass bending ~~time~~ spacetime that makes other mass get closer
  • Matter bends spacetime. Spacetime tells matter how to move.

    Using this logic, you can imagine that above a certain threshold, this can become a feedback loop. These locations are black holes, where enough matter located in a small enough volume of spacetime can create enough distortion to further force more matter into the same volume of spacetime.

  • A tale as old as time
  • Before you know it, you'll be juggling which mods work without crashing your game, and figuring out how much you want to destroy your wallet with the DLCs.

  • A tale as old as time
  • Stellaris a great game if you enjoy Civilization-style gameplay but at the galactic scale.

  • OK.
  • Stars don't burn anything anyway.

  • FAA pauses Falcon 9 launches to investigate failed booster landing
  • The fix could also be a software related issue considering this booster was coming in a bit faster than usual as per Scott Manley's video on the matter. The software change could be as small as keep the other engines lit for a tiny bit longer to correct for any observed flight deviations. Or better flight deviation detection. The difference in speed is small enough that changes to landing event timings could be tweaked by a single second for instance.

  • After months of mulling, NASA will decide on Starliner return this weekend
  • I'm still doubtful they will return on Starliner. After all the issues they've discovered since delaying the vehicle's return, it seems like returning on Crew Dragon would simply be the safest option at this point. Political optics be damned, the crew isn't expendable.

  • Mechazilla decal added to Ship 30
  • Oh wow, so the memes got the look down correctly! 🤣

  • Ukraine justifies Kursk attack in first acknowledgment of incursion into Russia
  • I've been seeing a few details coming out from this about gas pipelines being a big reason for a push into this particular region of Russia. But things I haven't seen talked about are things like this will cause Russia to have to spread troops thinner from the eastern fronts to handle this incursion. It's also far enough away from Belarus that they don't need to worry about any collateral damage. And most importantly, it's in the general direction of Moscow so it cranks things up a notch in terms of proximity to the general population.

  • China begins launching a megaconstellation, and it sounds a lot like Starlink
  • Good luck China. Without reusable rockets, this will be extremely expensive. It's certainly an issue that can be brute forced with spamming more rockets, but each launch won't be as cheap as it could be if you could reuse each rocket.

  • In light of recent events
  • Green flavored is the best

  • Boopable
  • Please do not boop this snoot for your own safety. Sometimes they get curious and may investigate you if you're near their waters. Please do not freak out as they're just curious but above all else: Do not boop

  • Hmm, needs linux
  • This both warms and breaks my heart 💚

  • You should mind your own business...
  • Reminds me of an interaction I had a long time ago.

        Me: :[
    Friend: Turn that frown upside down!

  • Is this fake or was really a boat out there?
  • This is phenomenal footage, and helps to establish how accurate their landing is without putting lives at risk

  • Short Q&A between Chris Hadfield and Jared Isaacman regarding SpaceX EVA suits
  • Does this indicate that the atmosphere within Dragon and the EVA suits is 100% O2? Or is the concern here to mitigate risks if the atmosphere happens to be 100% O2 in an emergency situation?

  • Starlink confirms direct Satellite to Cellphone connectivity

    >On January 2, 2024, we launched to orbit our first six Starlink satellites with Direct to Cell capabilities. Launch and early tests of the technology were all completed without issue. On Monday, January 8, less than 6 days after launch, we sent and received our first text messages to and from unmodified cell phones on the ground to our new satellites in space using TMobile network spectrum. This validates that our link budget closes, and the system works!

    I'm excited for this service as it'll be the most tangible rollout of new technology enabled by SpaceX's rapid launch approach to satellite mega-constellations to most people.

    New post body gets erased

    Scrolling to the top of a new post screen erased any post body you may have typed if you scroll back down. This only happens if you happen to have a tall image that you've uploaded to post. Normally the entire page displays without scrolling, which is why it may have gone unnoticed.

    Nested comments get smushed?

    I was looking at the thread for Sync because I was wondering how the same issue might be handled in Connect. Seems like it has the same issue. RIF handled this by having a view more button that displayed child comments in a separate view once the nested levels hit a certain threshold so they weren't smushed against the edge of the screen.

    URL Copy/Share

    Currently, Connect will ask if you'd like to open a clicked URL. You only have yes or no options.

    Adding a copy URL button would prevent having to view the page in order to access the copy URL option from there.

    Adding the standard share button isn't as useful to me since I'm only trying to share URLs to friends. But I noticed the lack of this when I'd backed out of a page and figured I'd share it. But ended up having to view it again just to do so.

    Community Categories

    This would be a local app-managed setting that adds a toggle to each community.

    When enabled, this toggle allows all of the posts from that community to be combined with all other communities of identical name, from other instances under a common category name.

    Because this is a per-community toggle, this lets you filter out communities of identical names from an instance you may be on, that you want to exclude from this category.

    For example, enabling this setting on the identically named (and themed) communities of [email protected] and [email protected] would combined all content from both communities together under a single category called Fediverse.

    If there were another instance with a community of the same name but of a different topic, then leaving this toggle disabled for that community instance would exclude it from this category.

    Categories can then be treated like communities in the subscribed community list, under a separate section just like how communities are split between All/Local.

    ___

    As an additional bonus, the app could ask the user if they would like to consolidate identically named communities. It would then provide a list of these identically named communities, with checkmarks beside them to quickly toggle this setting.

    To reduce spam, if a user wanted to submit a post to this category, they would have to specifically select the community instance they wanted to post to.

    ___

    Lastly, if this idea of more app-managed consolidation is taken to the extreme, then perhaps allowing users to combine multiple accounts together across each instance could be possible. Where even if two instances defederate, if the user has an account on both instances, they can still view the content as normal. Perhaps this could be called global mode, where accounts only interact with the specific instance they exist on, but combines local feeds from each account/instance together.
