Oh yes, won’t somebody think of the poor CEOs feeling discriminated when people point out they’re wasting money on shitty projects and suspecting there’s an agenda. Brilliant stuff indeed, and not at all transparent concern-trolling.

It exists to sell iCloud subscriptions, and by that measure (the only one that matters in this world) it’s a huge success.

Yeah but that wasn’t the point. Besides, it may feel righteous but it doesn’t do us any good, quite the opposite.

GPS is actually far more accurate than that. There is deterministic jitter introduced to make civilian use cases precise to only a few meters, but military equipment has the algorithm to subtract that jitter and achieve precision measured in centimeters.

Anyway, that statement is highly misleading. They were comparing to previous inertial navigation systems, not GPS navigation.

I didn’t know that’s an option. What models are you looking at if I may ask?

I want a new take on the Pixel 4a. Slim, light, reasonably rugged just by the nature that it’s plastic all around and weighs nothing. I miss that phone still…

Anyone volunteering to give free labor to one of Muk’s vanity projects to undermine modern society is probably helping most by not trying to contribute to Wikipedia.

Yep.

There’s not supposed to be a content-aware algorithm on Lemmy, is there?

Right, but costing them money while having it on the record that they lied is something. If you have the time and money yourself

I’m not sure how you’re controlling a ship’s Y-axis… but for planes and helicopters that’s absolutely standard and how it works in the real world. Hence the term “Pull up!”

The one or two pilots in this thread just read this in the GPWS voice and feel their heart beat a little faster now.

The K series used to have metal bodies as well, and a much better look. Glad I nabbed two before they stopped making those.

We have portable energy sources. They’re pretty efficient. Especially comparable to an orbital launch.

It’s not just stupidity.

Same for r/MURICA. Sad case, it used to be really funny.

There’s very much an ethical problem here. Sure, it’s fairly clear-cut with some debilitating genetic issues. But there’s a point at which you’re veering into eugenics, and that’s sooner than people think.

Take children who are deaf due to a genetic defect. I’m sure most parents imagine being deaf a terrible lot in life that they’d like to spare their kids from.

Then listen to actual members of the deaf community. They’re proud of their identity, they have their own language, and they’re terrified of the prospect of being essentially eliminated in just a few generations by well-meaning folks that can’t imagine a happy life as a deaf person.

What if we discover a few years from now that there are genetic markers for being queer? What if we can genetically engineer people to be thinner, more muscular, have a more attractive bone structure, lighter skin? Those are all things that offer an objectively more comfortable life, which I’m sure many parents would want for their kids without much thought given to what the societal implications are.

And what if this technology becomes available to a charismatic cult leader, a narcissistic tech CEO, a fascist regime?

Such technology doesn’t just fix genetic diseases. In a hierarchical global society that measures people’s worth by their body rather than their character, it eliminates human diversity.

Not every religious person feels the need to forcibly convert others.

Lieber den nächsten Hitler der eine klimatisierte Festung Europa verspricht oder so. Und queeren Menschen die Schuld gibt, weil sie zu hot sind

Some moron is gonna vibe code a script that spoofs this on the surface. Yea it’ll be detectable, but not detected in most cases.

I ran Arch on my rig in 2023 and didn’t use it for a few months. The next update broke a ton of shit including KDE.

Next time I might go with Bazzite. Or Manjaro and just take better care of it.
