A lot of conspiracy theories seem to hinge on the idea that anyone engaging in the theory somehow has access to information that most people don't, at least that's my theory.
Yeah I'm on the verge of blocking ml as well as hexbear, it's insane the level of mental gymnastics that's happening. Like what do they think Russia is going to do any less damage to the world than America if they get the chance?
Well the way you said "we don't need to play anything on Linux" implies that you're against the idea, my response was asking what you'd be doing instead. I'm not lost, I was wondering what headspace you're in that you're against that entirely. However it looks like you meant it in a purely literal sense. Most games aren't exploiting children though, so that's why I'd draw a line there.
Well if you'd rather nobody plays anything on Linux then you obviously have something else in mind so it has everything to do with this. You're the one insisting that it should only be used for some other purpose.
We're already in the sun's gravity well. The hard part is getting any point in your orbit to be close enough to the sun to use it's atmosphere to slow down (or just hit it and disappear, that's the easy part). Our orbital velocity around the sun is 29.8km/s, a low earth orbit would be in the range of 6.9-7.7 km/s depending on altitude and you can't really get anywhere in space without getting off the planet. So even if we ignore everything else you'd still need enough fuel to change your velocity by nearly 40km/s. To carry the extra fuel into orbit you'd need a much bigger rocket and that means more fuel and expenses. In fact I'm pretty sure it takes more fuel to get into a circular low solar orbit than it would take to get to any other planet.
Lemmy's mostly alright, it's nice that it is more politically open, though I've seen a lot I don't agree with from some groups, namely hexbear, but also a bit from other places. ml is a mixed bag for me but at least you can just straight up block things easily.
My interests are more about the actual engineering involved, like it's crazy how we can throw a piece of metal kilometres away to within a metre. And there's something satisfying about how they fit together. But yeah I wouldn't trust anyone with guns.
