That’s also the behavior of profoundly unhappy people. I think the real issue is that these are the Republicans answering 10/10 on happiness in the polls:

There is no CPU that is ever going to be supported for 10 years for a consumer application. ARM CPUs today are 20x faster than they were 10 years ago, and the ARM/RISC-V chips a decade from now will likely be 10-20x faster than today.

Regardless, the Kryo 670 CPU in the Fairphone 5 is already 3.5 years old, and it’s not super special, it’s just a semi-custom Snapdragon SoC. Consider that 4G LTE launched 13 years ago in the USA, and in 10 years that Kryo chip in the FP5 will be older than that. Could you handle the performance of your last 3G phone today?

Ignorance is Bliss. I too would be happier if I thought all the people destroying the planet were the good guys.

Android APK shipping this weekend

Source first. I ain’t touching an APK without seeing code.

Nothing related to Loops on the Pixelfed GitHub yet.

America did this too, but it was too hardcore for me to share clips, so here’s the Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Asphalt

God, this could have been a funny joke if you hadn’t presented it as a humorless blowhard.

Like debating how the “ean” in “Sean Bean” is pronounced, and insisting he can’t have it both ways. It’s one or the other, Sean…

The article does link to that URL behind the line “the first test flight”, but that seems erroneous. This story actually seems to be based on this Chinese press release: https://www.spacetransportation.com.cn/news/info/22.html

But it also seems like there’s some confusion between an “aircraft test” and a “test flight”. I’m not convinced this thing has ever flown.

Well, the good news is since this kind of hypersonic flight is not efficient or affordable, while there are 150k daily commercial flights, these aircraft will probably fly more like 2-6 times daily for their specific wealthy passengers that would pay obscene amounts of cash to save a few hours.

The Concord only flew 4 times daily at its peak.

To put this in perspective, you could have breakfast in London and make it to New York in time for a mid-morning coffee, with the journey taking just 1.5 hours.

Uh, let me do the math on that one…

If I eat breakfast in London at 8am, and then immediately board a Hypersonic jet to New York at 8:30am, I’ll arrive in NYC at 3pm, having missed mid-morning coffee by about 4 hours before I ate breakfast…

No, anyone gatekeeping Lemmy users who aren’t on the largest instances are fundamentally working against how the fediverse is supposed to work. lemm.ee is smaller, and generally politically neutral, but it also seems to properly moderate hate speech, violence, harassment, and illegal content. As long as that persists, all should be good.

If it ever comes to a “be on .world or you’re sus”, then .world can just disable federation and become Reddit 2 while the rest of Lemmy embraces decentralization.

And without that capability, every instance would be a cesspool of Nazi and pedo content flooding in from the Fediverse’s dark side.

People are downvoting you not because you are wrong, but because it really hurts when you call people out with this kind of precision. It should be common sense that the message boards full of randos shouldn’t be the foundation of one’s political worldview, but it’s also really easy to make message boards full of randos an integral part of one’s social life.

Getting your news from credible, non-social sources, is important. Being able to read an article and move on without heading to the comments is important. Having conversations with real people offline is important. But those things don’t offer the same steady drip of dopamine that social media provides.

A lot of people here are excessively online, and in desperate need of grass touching, and they don’t want to be told that directly, but they do also need to hear it.

o7 to the brave admins of Hexbear, Lemmy’s tankie quarantine instance.

On one hand, I totally understand that if technical and regulatory issues prevent certain phones from being able to call emergency services, cutting those phones off is a matter of public safety. You don’t want people learning that their phones can’t call emergency services when a loved one is having a heart attack or something.

But this seems like a decision that is pretty toxic to tourism and international business. If I ever visit Australia, am I going to need to buy a phone when I get there? It doesn’t seem wise to make your cell network work all that differently from the rest of the world when cell phones are supposed to work seamlessly across borders.

But this is Lemmy. If there’s a choice between honesty and blaming capitalism, Lemmy users will always blame capitalism.

.world isn’t a ccTLD, it is a gTLD.

The only feedback you deserve is this:

Creating a brand new account and coming to a largely left-wing, anti-corpo network and subcommunity that explicitly states that it is for posting tech related news and articles to promote yet another soulless AI startup is so far away from the ethos of this community that everyone who sees your post is now actively rooting on you to fail.

My advice to you is this: shut down your dumb AI grift, get a real job, delete your Lemmy account, and don’t come back till you can behave.

The actual answer is that the seatbelt is there to keep your ragdoll ass from bouncing off the ceiling during heavy turbulence.

Rigging a commercial airline with that many ejection seats would add significant weight to the plane. You’d probably triple the cost of commercial airflight if you did this just from reduced seating capacity, and even assuming that it could be implemented without that overhead I still don’t think this would actually help much.

Imagine you’re on Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 in a 737 Max nosediving towards the ground and the roof just opens up and launches you and all 148 of your fellow passengers out of the plane at 400MPH. Somehow I imagine that you just end up scattering the mangled corpses over a wider area.

This is really going to validate the anti-Steamdeck/anti-Linux gamers. It shouldn’t.

“You can’t play shitty MMO Battle Royale games if you’re on a Linux PC!”

Fucking good. That’s a feature.
