In the past 6 months, Starlink satellites made 50,000 collision avoidance maneuvers. They now maneuver 275 times a day to avoid crashing into other space objects.

They use an on board AI to calculate the positions, but each time they course-correct, it throws off forecasting accuracy for several days. So a collision isn’t an if, it’s a when, and suddenly we’re in Kessler Syndrome territory. Or maybe enough people will eventually wake up and realize Musk was an actual idiot all along.

But until then, great, low pings for video calls. Hurray.

How about we check back in on your comment in say, oh, 5 years, when we become forcibly earthbound, victims of Kessler’s Syndrome? Because by then, a starlink satellite will collide with another creating a chain reaction of collisions, birthing an ever-growing cascading field of Elon’ space debris bukkake all over the Earth’s face.

But hey, Pocket Rocket Boy has got to have an excuse to keep launching so he can continue collecting his government welfare checks. $15.3 billion since 2003 and climbing.

First off, Elon isn’t the guy who goes on Lemmy repeating clichés he’s heard and accepted as fact without ever questioning… is it even true? Or applicable? Sorry, but I think I’ll go with Mark Twain and Voltaire on this one: the best way to deal with a narcissist is to let the air out of their ego and slam them with satire, exposing them for the idiots they actually are.

Elon isn’t going to disappear just because you dare not speak his name. He’s far too busy blowing up billions of dollars of taxpayer money while his mindless fanboys gargle musk and cheer.

Well, you specifically said blocking ads EQUALS piracy, and I don’t see where blocking ads resulted with me owning my own copy of the content in question, or with me selling that content for profit.

It’s hilarious. Huffy’s idea is to turn Reddit into the Company Store… what’s that, all you unpaid moderators, all you users who spent countless hours posting essays of valuable information? You all want to ACCESS this content that was provided to us free, FOR FREE? EF YOU PAY ME.

He’s got to justify his $193 million compensation on the backs of the unpaid labor of moderators and users who provided the actual thing that made reddit valuable.

Steve Huffman is a carbuncle. When I quit Reddit, I ran a browser plug-in that deleted every single post and comment I ever made. I hope more people do this, and slowly lance this $193 million abscess.

The problem is with a shitty latch: the hood appears closed, but it’s not.

The OTA Update doesn’t fix the shitty mechanical latch - it still doesn’t latch consistently. What it fixes is another poor design choice: evidently, the car has sensors that can tell if the hood was closed correctly or not, but this was never turned on/programmed? The OTA Updates this so now the car can warn you when the shitty latch fails.

Or who knows, maybe they initially turned off that sensor because it was going off all the time because of the latch…
