@DavidM_yeg @elasticsoul @su_liam @troy_frizzell Satelites useless with cloud cover. Jet can fly low below clouds. And Satellites not always over the area you want during the day. Movies then to give satellites many unreal capabilities. (now, if you have a gazillion spy satelites, odds are greater that one of them will have a pass over the area of interest during the day).

@eclectech Not a small thing at all for you and other Animate users. (OK, not like some of the horrors in the larger world, but still pretty significant in your daily life.)I thought of you as I read this:https://mastodon.social/@mcc/116002642833554176

@Gerbsen oder kita Beiträge senken und die Familie fördern, damit mal wieder neue Steuerzahler geschaffen werden.

@Hans Doch, bestimmt.

@HighlandLawyer @darwinwoodka @MedeaVanamonde @cstross Well, that’s a better basis for Omelas than the original …

@bit A thermos bottle works by having a near-vacuum between whatever you want to keep warm or cold and the surrounding air. This works well because vacuum is a very good insulator.Space provides a better vacuum than anything we can easily create on Earth.Getting rid of heat in space is friggin' *hard*.As for "space is cold", temperature is a property of matter, and space is notably lacking in matter, so it's arguable whether space even *has* a temperature per se.@mina @sundogplanets

@Npars01 @AlexGallagherEverything. Is. Projection.

Update. Many studies look at the acceptance rate for articles by women at high-impact journals. This one looks at the submission rate, and finds that women submit significantly fewer articles to these journals than men. (The percentages differ by field.) When asked why, the most common response was that "they were advised not to."https://elifesciences.org/articles/90049 #Gender #GenderBias #ScholComm

@horn @katha_oz @AwetTesfaiesus ...und ist das nicht eher 1:0 für China?.. Ohne jetzt infrage zu stellen, dass Äthiopien sicher ein Boomland ist. Deutschland hätte auch längst anfangen können, Zukunft zu verkaufen statt Vergangenheit zu subventionieren.

@randahl there was some talk of it on the discord server. I honestly don't recall. Perhaps some of the Mastodon employees would know.

@Patrickoldhiker @drikanis @ludicity It remains a great fear of mine that those of us who went through education before LLMs, do not understand just how badly LLMs will affect education of young people. I worry we will get an entire lost generation of people who will lack even the most fundamental skills in reading, writing and math. And no, sending and receiving a thousand SMS and WhatsApp messages a day, will not compensate.

@turmalina @whangdoodler @Turre @hannamorre @jsmeresmaa @aks Lienee muuten kyse samasta ilmiöstä, et miksen juuri pidä elokuvamaisuudesta peleissä - niissä pyritään just kaavamaisuudella ja johdattelulla saavuttamaan jonkinlainen pelin käsikirjoittajan haluama vaikutus, sen sijaan et pelit pysyis visusti omana taidemuotonaan, jossa pelaaja on osa itse teosta, eikä vain vastaanottaja.Taiteen ja estetiikan redusointi tekniikaksi jolla "painellaan oikeita nappuloita" kokijoistaan, eli fasismi.

@makeitmythic@mastodon.social Yes it's totally possible, Lemmy communities are completely followable along with the Lemmy users. Well they won't see any of your normal microblogging posts they can see your stuff boosted from mentioning the Lemmy Community.3 people liking your post is still good, I don't often get likes but when people like, boost and comment on my posts I know that I've create and shared something where it needs to be and people want to hear it. In the end this is a space for communication and yes sometimes you're wrong place and the wrong time but other times it's just right.

@cwebber how would this even be possible for freedom-respecting operating systems? would it just make every GNU/Linux distro illegal unless its package manager implemented a pointless and trivial-to-bypass age check based on putting birth date in gecos (or something like that)?

@Kdude @marcoarment Seems like I need to take a look at this one too. Seems like a possible alternative.

@jollysea the old internet is when DNS was this newfangled thing that had just been introduced to replace the host files.

@starlily He's such an ass

@NSalwen @inthehands And explicitly deny funding pup killer, national wrecking ball & security threat Kristi Noem, stephrn

@whose_nose Ja, Autos am Straßenrand fielen auf. Das stimmt.Ich überlege gerade, wie alt ich war, als ich das letzte Mal in der DDR war. Da war ich gute 17 Jahre alt meine ich. Ich war damals dann mit dem Sohn der Kusine meiner Mutter auch in einer Disko. Er war ungefähr in meinem Alter und hatte den Führerschein für die Schwalbe, die die Familie besaß.Aber auch in dem Alter war ich relativ unbedarft an der Grenze. Ich war es ja gewohnt. Wir waren sehr regelmäßig bei unserer Verwandtschaft in Dresden.
