  • Why is my samsung phone updating an app related to Snapchat when I dont have Snapchat installed.

    Jump

  • A lot of companies release utilities that they've worked on as open source. When they do that they're usually under their github company url.

    This is a utility that was developed by Snapchat, I'm not sure about this case, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you are giving data to Snapchat.

  • Is the US losing its competitive advantage in energy?

  • You touched on the big problem the US has. The energy grid is ancient.

  • You are not the OP, but let me take a stab at what you're saying. Conservative has always been a word to describe a train of thought or ideal to not change from how things are.

    The objective of that can change wildly throughout the years to the point of it even being contradictory to itself. (for example Greek conservatism probably wanted sexual freedom and current conservatives want "traditional sexual values" from a Christian point of view which is absolutely contradictory. )

    I'm saying that conflating a group of people, "conservatives" in this case, isn't a group of people that have been around for centuries plotting against some idea. They have been different groups trying to hold on to the world that they know and dislike change.

    If you mean "conservatives" as it is currently known in the US, then yes that is a group of people who have been plotting on how to force their "ideals" on us but it's hardly "centuries" as how OP put it. It's just been from the 1950's.

    This is why I'm saying that OP sounds like a conspiracy nut.

    The reason why I want to point this out is because claiming a group is centuries old adds to the belief that they are an entity that has survived massive world view changes; Colonialism, Revolution, Civil Wars, World Wars. All of this makes them seem like an invincible group, but in reality they aren't that. They've only been around since slightly before Reagan and they are not absolute and they can be overthrown and toppled.

    We should not equate "conservatism" with groups that advocated for feudalism or monarchy, but we should totally treat them like both of these were treated at the end of their era. We should get rid of backwards, draconic ways of thinking and always move forward.

  • It isn't though? Conservatism has changed meanings quite a bit from the 17th century from 1620's Massachusetts Puritans and later Loyalists to the crown. Note that neither of these have anything to do with imposing moral values and promoting censorship.

    In fact, the push for "Religious values" like censorship in the case of this thread has only been around the US since the 1920's. Which if that's what you mean by "centuries" it's a bit of a stretch since that is a single century.

    Moreso, if you want to trace those ideologies back to politicians in the US, you'll find maybe a couple of mentions of this in people like Buckley (in 1955) or Goldwater (in 1960) and of course from Reagan.

    That is why I am saying "centuries" is an exaggeration.

  • They? For centuries? Who is "they" that has been this organized for "centuries"? The fucking illuminati? The masonic order?

    Maybe you're exaggerating a bit?

  • Musk’s Starlink hit with hours-long outage after rollout of T-Mobile satellite service

    Jump

  • Is that accurate though? Assume a satellite is in a decaying orbit (thus too low to contribute to Kessler syndrome on its own) and another satellite is in a different orbit eccentricity-wise but they both collide. Are we certain that none of the pieces from the collision would acquire enough speed to become boloids that contribute to Kessler syndrome?

    Time to go down the rabbit hole that is orbital mechanics for me again. Byeeee lol

    Edit: looks like the lowest orbit for starlink's first shell is at 550km which is very much above VLEO and would definitely be a factor in Kessler Syndrome.

    Most starlink satellites are set to deorbit themselves upon failure to avoid this. However the de orbiting could still fail and then it should take about a year or so to deorbit itself?

    So it looks like there is a low possibility of it initiating Kessler syndrome. But it's not negligible.

  • Hahaha, yeah that's the literal translation of what I said.

    So to break it down: Puta - curse word, means literally prostitute, is used as an exclamation of amusement or exhaustion at a situation by itself - kinda like saying "god damn"

    Salto lejos el maní - literally the peanut jumped far. Used in the same way as all the other idioms here to say mind your own business or keep it to yourself.
