I have a friend who won’t put his kids in the back of his Tesla because of this.

People don’t want the Fediverse. They want Twitter before Elon. They don’t care that Meta owns Threads.

Is the downside that quote posts make it easier for people to dog pile? That seems like it should be less of an issue because of defederating instances with that proclivity.

There are private/paywalled Discord servers and forums out there, too, so this could replace some of those. I think the Reddit format is better than a lot of alternatives, so I don’t actually hate this idea.

I’m not really into the idea of moving everything to a baby Google, even if they’re currently good about privacy. They just added an AI tool to email and a crypto wallet, which could be either awful or great signs depending on your perspective.

So does Valve?

I was kind of hoping for Impulse Space, but they’re probably too unproven.

One of Starship’s engines on the lowest setting would tear the station apart. Regardless of whether they make this based on Starship instead of something more reasonably sized like a Dragon or Falcon 2nd stage, it’ll still need either a new engine design or a big cluster of Dracos. It’ll be something custom.

Regarding their Artemis work- the payments are milestone based, so they get money as they pass milestones. Engine relights and ship to ship prop transfer are some of the next ones.

Regarding their other customers- the Starship manifest includes another moon cruise, several satellite launches, and a lot of Starlinks.

Serious answer- SpaceX is building the deorbit vehicle then turning it over to NASA, who will have full control over it.

There’s no way Russia builds a new station. The timeline for them getting Nauka to orbit basically proves that it’s impossible. They’ve been trying to buddy up with China to visit theirs, though.

Wirecutter and RTINGS both do a lot of testing and reviews, including for headphones.

I set my phone to auto download playlists and podcasts on WiFi, so it isn’t really a problem. I think there was one month when I had to buy extra data so far, and that still ends up being cheaper than being on a plan with more data.

I got mine a little over 4 years ago and am still on the original toner. It gives low toner warnings but just keeps on printing.

Twitch having 1400ish employees before the layoffs doesn’t seem too crazy, right? Cutting 35% is insane, though.

I used Edge a bit at work because it feels like Office365 stuff runs better on it, but that might be placebo.

Same. The tab sync from desktop to mobile is also really cool.

This is kind of tangential, but white noise backup alarms are neat.

Tab groups?

Maybe this is a better question for degoogle@lemmy.ml, but:

What’s a good way to get off Google Photos and Drive on my phone? It looks like Proton seems like the right fit, but compared to Google One for $20/year, Proton for $120 seems like a bit much. I guess you’re paying to not be the product? Although, shoot, my VPN auto-renewed for $100 a year, so I guess I’m already paying $120…

I liked Deep Rock. I started playing it during the pandemic with some friends instead of doing in-person board games (and Jackbox and boardgame simulators got old). I definitely ended up playing more single player than multiplayer. Buuut I probably haven’t played it in a year? It just got really samey after getting through a lot of leveling up and unlocks.
