Dang kids don’t know how to tune a TV or do the tappets in their car!

They’ll be screwed if they find themselves in 1980!

If it helps i can explain how lemmy thinks,

Elon does nothing at his companies and is lazy and stupid, also Elon is intricately responsible for everything which happens at his companies and so everything they do is bad.

They will believe any ‘Elon bad’ story because they’re desperate to, largely because he said some bad things on Twitter and is bad at memes. They will also assume any Elon related thing is bad because to them reality is a team sport and if someone has differing political opinions they must be not only ontological evil but stupid and bad in every way.

It’s hilarious to me when people complain about jobs like this training AI, oh you watch videos and it’s hard to concentrate after a while? Welcome to actual driving jobs and factory work!

Before automation people stood at machines doing the same repetitive task for 8 hours a day or longer and if they lose concentration they could lose a limb.

Automation and computation has made what would have been absolute plum luxury jobs less than a hundred years ago seem burdensome and ‘dystopian’ to our modern sensibilities, I have no doubt that we will likewise see the mental and physical effort of driving as well as the danger of it become as unconscionable as threshing or machine operator work is to us now.

It’s funny that any time these companies are brought up everyone says they’re dangerous yet the second one listens to the sorts of studies about negative affects that get quoted here all the time everyone suddenly decides actually its censorship or brainwashing or corporate greed and that it’s evidence they’re evil…

Scientific studies said this content can harm developing children so they made efforts to mitigate harm, is it really so hard just to say ‘oh thats good, well done’ and if so then doesn’t that tell you a lot about your own motivations?

Because it’s not God making the choices it’s an algo, God would know what you want bur an algo needs data - if there is a popular video that lots of people who watch content you like watch then it makes sense they see if you’re interested.

It does the same with everything, your just notice the stuff you hate more, right wingers claim youtube and Facebook push woke stuff for the exact same reason.

The problem is youribe can only have one page of information and that has to be the front page offering old, new, expected and unexpected content in one easy to view list.

You know what would happen if they had a second list that only showed your subscribed content? Literally no one would click on it and everyone would complain it doesn’t exist, they proved this in a test where they had that exact feature on every single person’s page since they started but here we still are people complaining that their subscriptions don’t always show up on the fyp (algo page)

And isn’t this the one people keep posting the dramatic headline without mentioning the damage only lasted until sunrise?

Dvd is 480p so let’s not cry about only getting over twice the pixels through a stream, dvd also has jank compression compared to most streaming codex.

And I don’t pirate, I just watch higher quality content that isn’t proprietary by focusing on small creators especially those making under copy left licensing or cc0 like Jago Hazard

Why would I care what a billion or trillion dollar corporation wants to brainwash me with? You’re never going to see honest opinions in a Marvel movie or accurate social commentary, how many times do I need a film with the moral message ‘rich people are good actually’

OK well in that case I commend you, though to be really good maybe you should download them to a drive after purchase and then you can donate the dvds for someone else or a community center.

Ha no I’m not an iPhone user but regardless a phone is useful as it allows me to live more efficiently - not traveling to have every important conversation saves resources on its own and there’s thousands of other practical uses – wasting resources needlessly just to be a hipster is totally different.

I just find it funny that lemmy on one hand clmaours to cheer on terrorism in the name of the climate and all that stuff but simultaneous gets super mad any time anyone suggests the slightest lifestyle change for the sake of the environment - even if it’s objectively better.

DVD is a digital format so if you want to watch it in that lowered quality then you can download it in that codec and get literally exactly the same experience - but no, you need an entire wastful industry making short lived plastic disks just to make you feel superior to everyone using the objectively better technology.

Let the DVD factories close, stop making chemical coated plastic needlessly and grow up.

That’s still 47 million of everyone’s money that could have been better spent

Making toxic trash and wasting resources just to be a hipster, we’re all proud of you

Another rent eeeker trying to hold back human progress for personal greed, they’re super common.

I’m just trying to answer the asked question, space is absolutely huge and satellites are very small. If you want to think about vectors and potential debris from collision those are other questions - them all moving at different speeds and directions increases the chance of overlap but not into significant numbers and of course they don’t just throw them up and hope for the best they know what they’re doing and can maneuver to avoid problems.

The theorized great space collision resulting in a field of debris is a valid concern but a bit of a y2k fear mongering type story that everyone tells because it’s fun not because it’s actually going to cause problems. China has already run tests of techniques to deorbit trash and it worked well. Was there a need we could solve the problem, but there’s unlikely to be a problem with everyone so aware of it and with efforts to mitigate potential causes.

It seems you’re the one who hasn’t seen the sky if you actually believe the nonsense about them ruining the night sky - there’s a brief window you can see some of them, most never show up an by actual night when people atargaze you can’t see them at all.

No they’re not, that’s s childish and luddite spin on reality. They provid vital services for the most impoverished, I’m more than happy to occasionally see a dim.light in the sky for a brief window of time every night if that’s the cost.

Fuck thse affluent fucks who think they own the sky, satellites materially improve life for the most impoverished people in numerous ways - access to education and healthcare for underseved communities is far more important than some snob nerd that wants to pointlessly look at stars as a hobby.

All serious science happens via space based telescopes, the satellites don’t even affect viewing outside small windows of time and position. This is just a luddite talking point that idiots have latched onto because they like to hate everything as an defense mechanism for their own lack of significance and import.

OK so imagine the Atlantic Ocean and each country puts about a sack of rice with each of the grains floating evenly distributed, that’s still an under statement of the scale of space to satellites - and that’s not considering depth.

Systemic corner cutting and a total disregard for safety are cultural issues with many to blame, it seems weird just to target anger at youtube celebrities simply because they didn’t post a comment about it. 4

Best button ever!

It slowed down the CPU.
