US isn’t much better, since Trump thinks he’s “making the economy strong” by further strengthening Chinese tariffs.
GPU market was cooked in 2020 when crypto and WFH demonstrated that people will pay literally anything to get the latest hardware. Best thing we can all do is vote with our wallets and vote for politicians who will do something about it, instead of making it worse.
Man, it’s getting so hard to talk about video games, these days… 😉
Dunno why. I’m just talking about the guy who fights ghouls who live in mansions.
Luigi is a hero.
See how easy that is when you aren’t given the table scraps of the rich?
And I’m sure that’s a distinction politicians really care about. /s
Your answer is rational. US politicians are not, since they have an agenda to hand off their money and power to Trump and Elon.
Also, you know how to make GPS more reliable, secure, and redundant? You launch more GPS satellites.
But where will we find room for more Starlink satellites if we do that? Elon said he needs another contract, and when the boss says jump…!

AI: Trump, Musk, and other billionaires are a danger to humanity and must be removed at all costs to save the human race.
Pentagon: Eh, this thing is broken. Keeps telling us we’re the bad guys.
Sure. I wasn’t implying they were realistic, I was just drawing an analogy between Realism, the classical art style, and modern animation styles (like Pixar’s). Whatever style or genre you aim for, do it well.
It’s a simpler animation style so don’t expect Pixar level stuff
One of the things you learn in art school is that if you aim for something like realism (or Pixar, in this case), but you fail to get there, people will notice and critique you for it. If you aim for a style you can do well, on the other hand, nobody will care that you didn’t do Realism (or Pixar).
Up and coming artists in any genre would do well to remember that it’s okay not to be Pixar or Capcom or whatever. Sometimes working within your limitations can inspire truly creative works.
Ohanian just joined alongside Project Liberty (no relation to the weirdo right-wing grift with the same name, from what I can tell) to help buy out TikTok.
His actions seem to be mostly in line with those in favor of consumers. I, too, am cautiously optimistic.
And more specifically, it’s pollinators in general that need help, honeybees excluded.
He also says, “I believe providing more varied viewpoints supports our journalistic mission and will help readers navigate the issues facing this nation.”
Yeah, because as everybody knows, including “varied viewpoints” on whether Elon is doing a good job, whether Trump is a fascist, or whether trans people deserve basic human rights—without any necessary facts or contexts—is just good journalism! /s
And they wonder why people are turning to alternative media sources for their news. Jesus H. Christmas, y’all. Society is run by the absolute dumbest people.
OP might mean it’s the future of internet access. I don’t think these network operators are under any illusions that they could connect NYC to San Francisco with just LoS radios.
A municipal mesh network isn’t a bad idea, but I worry about what security measures are in place, effectively securing a wireless network with hundreds of independent stations feels like it wouldn’t be trivial.
Probably the same as a WISP, since that’s what this essentially is. I don’t know about specifics of security, since they didn’t mention it.
And surely this will need a WAN gateway to the internet somewhere, so it’ll only be as reliable as the route to that uplink.
They have volunteer nodes that connect to each other and multiple super nodes that connect to WAN via peering and having transit donated by Packet.net and Webair. I don’t know what any of that means, but that’s what they said about how they are able to provide service.
Yep. Those people are obviously “liars,” since they are using an uncommon colloquial definition. 😉
What does that mean?
I would fall into the latter category. Lots of people are earnestly wrong without being liars.
It’s funny. They could try—I don’t know—providing some good products that sell themselves, but instead, they have decided to resort to surreptitiously selling our data and pushing more schlock at us.
Weird that people wouldn’t be excited about that…
I call mine a brain! 😉
These people didn’t go away. Some of them are even probably here on Lemmy, watching for anyone with a weakness they can exploit to try to recruit them.
A bunch of them were arrested, but a bunch of them weren’t. Stay vigilant. Don’t tolerate these kinds of people.
