    Why would the carrying capacity drop? The sourced article is full of unsourced prose http://www.paulchefurka.ca/CC_Overshoot.html

    Sorry greenpeace, I'm an environmentalist myself, but this article is just a bunch of made up BS

    All of the people who can afford it live in cities that have perfectly good internet.

    I think this generalization is far from valid

    • You're assuming US prices, Starlink can go cheaper and they have shown they will do market specific pricing
    • South Africa is one example where there are plenty of areas outside big cities where people could afford it
    • Starlink doesn't have to be ordered by individuals. Smaller rural communities could have a shared terminal

    This is assuming it's not cheaper/faster to just use mobile service, which has had great adoption in Africa and will probably be true in a lot of areas as you noted. Still, there's a ton of people in Africa and a lot of area to cover. I think there is a good market there for Starlink

    I mean yes, obviously, that's the point of the mission?

    Investigating the potential habitability of Europa is the main purpose of NASA's Europa Clipper mission

    Although I definitely like the "Captain Obvious" type headline better than the usual clickbait

    Africa will be a huge market for Starlink I think.

    Regarding the fee, probably the seller concerning the sale of the terminal. But Starlink would have to provide a contract, so they could be liable as well. Depends who the contract party is - in this case I suppose it is an abroad address. That should be easy to fix for Starlink by geoblocking for now

    I guess the reason it works at all right now is due to RV type mobile contracts

  • Newag accused of deliberate train malfunctions for profit

    After a two-month analysis, the hackers revealed that Newag intentionally interfered with the software of the trains, causing forced malfunctions to secure lucrative contracts for their repair. They immobilized trains by implementing logic that prevented them from moving if stationary for more than ten days. Additionally, some trains had a “safeguard” preventing them from moving from specific locations in Poland, including service halls of competing companies.

    I hope they get sued into bankruptcy, this type of behavior is despicable

    Der Gesetzesentwurf des Parlaments sah ein Verbot für KI-Anwendungen wie eine automatisierte Gesichtserkennung vor. Die EU-Staaten beharrten aber auf Ausnahmen zum Schutz der nationalen Sicherheit, zur Verteidigung und für andere militärische Zwecke.

    Die nun erzielte Einigung sieht Beschränkungen für die Nutzung biometrischer Identifizierungssysteme durch die Strafverfolgungsbehörden vor.

    They are fighting a war of attrition, that will last for years until Russia yields

    You are forgetting next year's US elections, unfortunately. But if that doesn't go the wrong way, the Vietnam scenario is indeed somewhat realistic, with the difference that Ukraine is a lot closer to Russia than Vietnam was to the US

    Musk "picked" the wrong fighting grounds here. I'm pretty sure he will lose even at the supreme court eventually. And each day this drags on is a win for the unions

    I once collaborated with an exceptionally talented programmer who seemed so engrossed in his addiction that he would invent challenges where there were none, presumably to make his work more engaging and bearable. However, this often led to incomplete projects because once the stimulating aspects were finished, he struggled to find the motivation to continue. Clearly, this behavior was extreme and detrimental.

    I think a lot of devs can relate to that

    You should only pay full price if the release quality is great. And even then, there's a reason why #patientgamers is a trend. You save on hardware cost, game cost & get better quality games with extra post release content

    Just wanted to say I really like the link handling in this app. When I use lemmy on Desktop it's always a nightmare to navigate different instances, even with the Greasemonkey script. This app just does it out of the box. Barely had any cases where it doesn't work recently

    Currently it seems the sidebar search lists search results from the fediverse, not from my subscribed communities. If I want to go to a specific community, I go to the sidebar. With a lot of subscribed communities you can't favorite all of them, nor do you want to search the entire sidebar list manually Example: I am subscribed to !space@kbin.social and !space@lemmy.world. When I search space, neither show up. Instead a bunch of smaller communities are listed, like !space@lemmy.ml, or occult (wtf?).

    Maybe I've just not figured it out, but it's there a way to navigate the subs on a different instance without switching accounts? Like going directly to linux@programming.dev? Example, I'm on lemmy.ca but I want to subscribe to /c/linux on programming.dev. I'm struggling hard to navigate to this community, as it's not turning up in search either. Edit: I found it on search, but it's made worse by the fact that search is not showing the instance of the communities, so you just end up with a bunch of communities and a subscriber count based on your local instance, which means pretty much nothing

    I saw a feature request for searching comments inside a post in this community, about 4 weeks old. Seems like a pretty key feature that is still missing. Is this planned currently?
