Why would the carrying capacity drop? The sourced article is full of unsourced prose http://www.paulchefurka.ca/CC_Overshoot.html

Sorry greenpeace, I'm an environmentalist myself, but this article is just a bunch of made up BS

Old news. The arrests already happened a year ago

I don't know why he chose to go back...

As sad as it is, he had to expect that kind of treatment

Opposition opposes incumbent

In other news, water is wet

Not looking so great for Ukraine, unfortunately

All of the people who can afford it live in cities that have perfectly good internet.

I think this generalization is far from valid

  • You're assuming US prices, Starlink can go cheaper and they have shown they will do market specific pricing
  • South Africa is one example where there are plenty of areas outside big cities where people could afford it
  • Starlink doesn't have to be ordered by individuals. Smaller rural communities could have a shared terminal

This is assuming it's not cheaper/faster to just use mobile service, which has had great adoption in Africa and will probably be true in a lot of areas as you noted. Still, there's a ton of people in Africa and a lot of area to cover. I think there is a good market there for Starlink

I mean yes, obviously, that's the point of the mission?

Investigating the potential habitability of Europa is the main purpose of NASA's Europa Clipper mission

Although I definitely like the "Captain Obvious" type headline better than the usual clickbait

Africa will be a huge market for Starlink I think.

Regarding the fee, probably the seller concerning the sale of the terminal. But Starlink would have to provide a contract, so they could be liable as well. Depends who the contract party is - in this case I suppose it is an abroad address. That should be easy to fix for Starlink by geoblocking for now

I guess the reason it works at all right now is due to RV type mobile contracts

After a two-month analysis, the hackers revealed that Newag intentionally interfered with the software of the trains, causing forced malfunctions to secure lucrative contracts for their repair. They immobilized trains by implementing logic that prevented them from moving if stationary for more than ten days. Additionally, some trains had a β€œsafeguard” preventing them from moving from specific locations in Poland, including service halls of competing companies.

I hope they get sued into bankruptcy, this type of behavior is despicable

If I want to quote a specific part of a comment to reply to it, that's not possible with Connect right now unless manually copy pasting the segment.

Ideally, the existing "quote" option in the editor should take into account selected text

 

Is this accurate? I just deleted my comment and none of the child comments were visible anymore

 

Finally - only took them a full day

 

Just wanted to say I really like the link handling in this app. When I use lemmy on Desktop it's always a nightmare to navigate different instances, even with the Greasemonkey script. This app just does it out of the box. Barely had any cases where it doesn't work recently

Note that it's still first half of August, that's why the numbers for August are lower

 

My personal highlight: black formatter integration.

So convenient to just format on save.
