Admins, mods, users; we’re all human. I dunno if it’s some big secret but I use /c/asklemmy posts as informal posts, and just consider the highest comment as the most popular opinion. Imperfect but effective.

I asked what community Lemmy most needs, and the most up voted comment was ‘cranes trains and excavators and stuff like that’. I made the sub and it’s been pretty popular. Maybe you guys could take the same approach, just an informal asklemmy post asking for input before any site changes?

Is there an alternate survey site that could be used other than Microsoft? The site is pretty much impossible to see in dark browser mode as well (light grey text on white background).

Aside from that though, what is the difference between Lemmy and sublinks?

Interesting. That being said I don’t understand the lemmygrad peoples desire for the Hammer and sickle as a symbol. Like almost nothing good has come from it. Even in Angola it seems to be viewed as a somewhat tarnished period in their history.

Nice civility

The swastika is thus understood to be a symbol of auspiciousness and good fortune

Symbols can have meanings that are different than what they turn into. Hammer and sickle is almost unanimously considered to be a symbol of Stalin USSR totalitarian communism where millions perished.

I understand what it means, and I support what it is trying to do in theory. The problem is there has never been a government, to my knowledge, that has embraced the ideology that has not turned to corruption/totalitarianism. In these countries, the proletariat are deprived of their rights and fare far worse. That is what the hammer and sickle represents.

I’m happy to change my mind if an example can prove otherwise, but to my knowledge the most effective form of government is that of a social democracy, which is represented by a red rose.

The MPLA abandoned its former Marxist ideology at its third party congress in 1990, and declared social democracy to be its new platform.

Why add a symbol that is almost solely used by totalitarian governments?

The hammer and sickle remains commonplace in self-declared socialist states, such as China, Cuba, North Korea, Laos, and Vietnam, but also some former Soviet republics following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, such as Belarus and Russia.

Are there any countries that use the symbol that are actually nice places to live with good governments?

The biggest design above is the “super” Orion design; at 8 million tons, it could easily be a city.[25] In interviews, the designers contemplated the large ship as a possible interstellar ark. This extreme design could be built with materials and techniques that could be obtained in 1958 or were anticipated to be available shortly after.

Something tells me they’ll enshitiffy too. It would make me uneasy storing all my passwords with a for profit corp, on their servers.

That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

eta: 27 minutes. The end is near!

How do you get that?

Too late: fuck it we’re all dead, burn petrol!

We’ll be fine: we’re good, Earth will be fine, burn petrol as you need.

Essentially saying it’s ‘too late’ tends to make someone care less about the climate, which is actually worse in practice than straight up denial because of the behavior it encourages.

Is there a more effective one, that slowly edits all your comments a little bit at a time so it misses their detection over a period of weeks/months? Like scrambling/nonsense sentences.

There was a book whose card when blunk when they looked up.

Like completely non sensical but a real sentence so it would be hard to detect.

that was Artemis I and it’s flightplan. That already launched and returned in 2022.

Artemis II is the manned flyby of the moon, they want to make sure everything goes ok before adding a landing sequence.

Artemis III (right now scheduled for 2025, but will likely be later) will be 4 humans walking on the moon.

The Artemis 2 crew will come within 6,479 miles (10,427 kilometers) of the lunar surface and travel 6,400 miles (10,300 km) beyond the far side of the moon. From this vantage point — farther than any humans have ever traveled into deep space — they will be able to see both Earth and the moon from Orion’s windows.3 Apr 2023

I don’t know the reason why the distance is further but I would imagine it is intentional to increase speed or some other technical reason.

Honestly I think that’s almost a good thing for space exploration. It’s a non political issue in that both parties want to be seen as pioneers in space.

Fiscal conservative republicans were a bit against NASA spending but now that private companies have there fingers in the pot at least now everyone is on board, lol.

not neccessarily. NASA failed to achieve an economical space launch vehicle in 50 years, while private companies did it in 10.

The Apollo program that landed humans on the moon was built by private industry. There is a place for government and there is a place for industry.

Approximately 400,000 skilled people contributed to NASA’s success in putting the first man on the Moon. In the mid-1960s, the agency had 33,200 federal employees and 377,000 contractors. 1

That being said, NASA has a vital role in space as explorers and scientists - but for raw transportation of goods and heavy cargo, that is best handled largely by contractors.

I believe the general consensus is that hooking a smart TV to the Internet is generally a bad idea.
