  • Unless you don't vote on much, I think you underestimate how much information can be attained from the pure data of up/down votes.

    There is also the fact that people traditionally vote on stuff they wouldn't comment on because they see it as more private.

  • So we just shouldn't have high speed sattelite internet for people in rural areas or disaster areas because some people make money from it?

    Or they should only be there if a government runs the sattelite? Because that wouldn't change the effect they have on telescopes.

    This is the kind of comment I was talking about.

  • This has been a fairly open secret, or at least it has been in my family. My father traveled a lot and we would always throw those on the floor immediately. I assume nowadays many of the bigger chains do clean them but I still wouldn't trust smaller places and even smaller chain-owned hotels.

  • That's what scientists have wanted anyway, even without the occasional satellite there is a lot of interference. I wouldn't be surprised if they leveraged this to try to get more funding for more of them they wouldn't get otherwise.

  • I do wonder how much the average people commenting would care if musk had nothing to do with this.

    It's an issue, but it's an issue scientists knew was coming for decades now. Starlink isn't the only company putting satellites into low earth orbit. They aren't the first and the amount of them will just keep coming.

    What we need is regulations and requirements for how many, what purpose, how they'll be dealt with if something goes wrong and when they're no longer needed, etc. Getting people to share satellites that are already there (when possible) and not putting up satellites that are redundant or don't provide that much benefit versus non-satellite options or further orbit options will be important.

    But all these mindless circlejerkers only talking about musk and wanting starlink "taken down" are really polluting the topic with meaningless bullshit. It's unfortunate people are bringing these mindless circlejerks over from reddit.

  • Rick and morty is not a small show by almost any metric. Funko pops also became popular right around the same time and have a massive overlap in fans, so it makes sense. Futurama was not out at the same time for the most part but there is still about a dozen funko pops from it.

    Funko can just make tons of unique models really cheaply, and they know fans will buy them to collect like beanie babies, so of course they'll keep churning out different versions of the same characters of one of the most popular nerd cartoons that their own fans love.

  • Yeah as bad as it may sound, I kind of like that it's not as easy to get into as reddit's official app or tiktok or whatever. A barrier to entry can help quality. It doesn't stop all the toxic assholes but it helps slow down the onslaught of braindead echo chambers and circlejerks that reddit has turned.

  • Yep, that and people bringing along all the mindless echo chambers and circlejerking I was hoping to leave behind on reddit.

    People hated reddit for these reasons, and many of us left reddit for these reasons, and now these toxic assholes are doing everything they can to make lemmy just like reddit.

    I wish those people would just stay on reddit. If they want to make lemmy like reddit why did they even leave??

  • That would kill small instances though, definitely personal ones for those who want to run their own. Once places like lemmy and kbin get big enough there is no way they're going to go through and hand-federate every tiny new instance that pops up. There'd be no way to tell which ones are personal and which ones would be used for manipulation?

  • I wish those people understood the full history of Apple making every effort of creating this problem on purpose to create this effect. They've done everything in their power to stop any standard being introduced between the OSes and to introduce features that create this "iPhone vs others" clique bullshit.

    Yet these kids and even adults act like it's an android problem. I hate how corporations always win like this, they know exactly how to manipulate people and it works.
