what happens when we lose the trifecta?

you may have INTENDED to imply only that, but you did imply both unfortunately. I agree with you on the cyber truck part, but I deal with a lot of slightly more rural folks and the big fear RN with electric vehicles is somehow battery fires. which is crazy since they don’t happen anywhere near as often as gas vehicles. so I’m just trying to say we should be careful to avoid that particular cliche (the battery fire part) since it misleads people

no but they ARE repeating the falsehood about battery fires being likely or common: https://lemmy.world/comment/10496586

(which is something your joke implied)

repeat falsehoods often enough and people believe them, even if you originally mean them as a well-intentioned and obvious joke

A) to go and earn any money B) I actually pollute less in the place that I moved to since I don’t have to drive a car

I don’t think you understand - I can live poor and destitute without a job in my hometown, or leave to find work somewhere else. This is the reality of many Americans in rural America.

This isn’t a quest for “wealth”, it’s a quest for life

sometimes people don’t want to live in the middle of nowhere forever. not many engineering jobs there. we all want economic mobility too

battery fires are not at all common in electric vehicles. this is propaganda

wtf is that bullshit. interning is basically required experience in some fields (engineering especially). companies will usually pay for your housing and food even

really rough to use honestly. I’d rather use non-FOSS (on shape) while I wait for this to hit the “blender inflection point” and actually get good.

hol up what kind of intern can afford to buy a Model 3?

plus, it isn’t like this isn’t exactly like adding another “door” to the “systemd building”. It’s a modular component of systemd, so more akin to replacing the sudo building with a new, but still separate, systemd sudo building

love fly.io

fun fact, lemdro.id is hosted entirely on fly.io

Lives ARE on the line. It was faulty software that caused the Boeing 737 Max to crash twice, killing 346 people. Software runs your car, the trains, rockets, literally everything.

Man, wtf. If Starlink is shut down in areas Russia already controls (it largely is), then what is the problem???

Starlink doesn’t have fine control over what they can turn off, the world is separated into “cells”. Starlink can’t broadly turn off Starlink for ONLY Russians on the battle lines, it would affect Ukrainians too

Look, I don’t know if you’re being intentionally obtuse here, but not all areas are black and white. There is ambiguity in the world, particularly in battlefields. This feels a bit like a bad faith argument

to be fair, software engineers are a lot more design heavy than implementation. software developers are the “implementers” where software engineers generally focus on the bigger picture as well

I have no clue how you’re coming to that conclusion. Starlink blanket blocked access from Crimea. Regardless of whether that was right or wrong, this doesn’t prove that Starlink knows where Russian and Ukrainian troops, can track the battle line, and precisely turn off access based on that geographic area

I feel like you are fundamentally misunderstanding me. Battle lines are not static or cut and dry. Neither militaries KNOW exactly where the enemy is. It isn’t that simple

No. What I’m saying is that due to the fast-shifting geographic nature of a battlefront, and the lack of organization in where the user terminals have come from: (A) Starlink would have a hard time keeping up with a precise map (and would be prone to errors, and would need exact operational data) (B) Ukraine doesn’t completely KNOW what terminals are theirs

So a geographic location block would be a hindrance for Ukrainian troops when trying to advance, and potentially dangerous when Russians advance into Ukrainian territory. Boundaries would constantly need to be redrawn, requiring exact knowledge of what is happening. Which for obvious reasons should not be shared
