Cool, but I'm not sure what they're claiming to be first at. NASA did 200 Gbps over a year ago: https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/ames/nasa-partners-achieve-fastest-space-to-ground-laser-comms-link/

A lie requires intent. Without proof of intent, they will lose a libel suit.

In this case, since Vance has admitted he knew it was false, I think they have a defense, but they're probably just afraid of getting sued at all.

Then why the fuck is this one suspended?

For the stock launcher, yeah. Alternatives are a dime a dozen.

The gunman was spotted about 400 to 500 yards (365 to 457 meters) from where Trump was playing

That's not "nowhere near". That's not much more than the effective range of an AK-47 (~300 yards). If the guy wasn't an idiot, or the Secret Service was failing at their jobs again, Trump would have walked right into range.

I'm almost certainly not going to watch one, but I'm not going to suggest they're banned, unless something changes and the majority of content becomes videos for some reason. I haven't felt that it's a problem.

I'd rather see posts of tech support or someone's shower thoughts be removed, because I see that pretty frequently, and it pushes the relevant content down. At least it's not 80% tangentially-related business news or "Musk tweeted something" any more.

Whichever one you think you're going to remove less often. Probably the 2 TB if you think you might upgrade the other.

If one of them needs a heat sink, you'd probably put that one on the front. You could also put a thermal pad on the other and use the case itself as a heatsink.

I assume your case doesn't have a removable back panel.

I don't think this is something to focus on. Tech being 40% of all emissions in the US is suspicious, given that in 2021, all industry was 30.1%, and all transportation was 28.5%. And the total emissions in the US was 6.3 billion tons. https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/chart-gallery/gallery/chart-detail/?chartId=108623

I don't have more recent data (if it's in the article, I didn't see it at a skim) but I feel like oil, gas, and agriculture are the bigger long-term targets.

What advantage does it have over existing methods? It's great that it's cross-platform, but so are zip files. And the content inside isn't cross-platform, so I don't think that ultimately adds anything.

First, don't use .local, as it's used by mDNS. You should use .internal or a domain you own. I recommend changing before you get any more committed to your environment.

I'm not really following your post, because you're not specifying whether each point is on the server or laptop.

Personally, I dislike Ubuntu on the server because of how it runs stuff like systemd-resolvd, which as you've experienced, gets in the way of standard operation.

It's not exclusive to Trump. The post itself is about Vance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Sure. And then we continue with the "stolen election" bullshit, and Republicans still win other elections in Congress and state races. There's more here than just whether the president has a little D or R next to their name.

If you tap that link in Boost it'll probably crash, so don't do it unless you're okay with that.

I'm guessing the problem is that the post URL is a magnet link.

 

I got banned earlier today with the message "rule 1", no other information about why, or which comment broke the rule. As far as I can tell it was this one, which just says "We want the bot gone. That’s it. It’s really that simple."

So I checked the modlog for other bans, and @[email protected] was banned today as well, also just for "rule 1", probably either for the comment saying "a stupid bot writing useless bullshit" or "This is what you call "Not listening to criticism."", neither of which are an attack on any person.

(Also earlier today @[email protected] was banned with the message "fuck off", which I'm pretty sure is not a reason to ban someone from a major community, but doesn't appear to be related to the MBFC bot.)

One more today, @[email protected] was banned, again just "rule 1", last comment being this one, again not an attack on any person.

So what's the deal here? I couldn't find any rules for mods on lemmy.world with a brief poke around, but are we letting mods run major communities like little fiefdoms, banning people for criticism?
