  • It's not the dick, it's the cowardice we disparage.

  • Starlink VP confirms ‘dangerously close’ Chinese launch incident — close call saw satellite pass within 200 meters of Starlink travelling at over 17,400mph

    Jump

  • This is a problem as well. As the satellites deorbit they vaporise, leaving aluminium oxide nanoparticles (and other metallic gases, volatiles etc) in the atmosphere, destroying ozone and building up over decades.So it's not just the light pollution, or the ruining of ground based astronomy. Or even the dangerous amount of clutter polluting LEO, making spaceflight even more risky. Starlink is bad news for the environment, but it's to be expected since we've seen how carelessly spacex have destroyed the ecosystem in Texas.

  • Bondi (Australia) shooting death toll rises to 16, including a child, after gunmen targeted Jewish festival

  • It's nice to see you doing this, but you really weren't the problem in this thread. That account was not posting in good faith. You were immediately accused of spreading misinformation, then when you politely provided evidence, they doubled down both on the sealioning and the name calling. The votes tell the story here and you did well and you did good.

  • Jesus. I'm not implying anything, everything I've said is explicit. Perhaps you're having a hard time understanding because you're looking for hidden meaning where none was intended?

    The claim was made by the top level commenter, NOT_RICK. The evidence supporting this claim is the news report (and various others in the thread). That is the end of it. If you want to make a new claim, e.g. that this source is lying, then go ahead and do so. With evidence.

    What you're doing is called sealioning and there is no end to it. You wouldn't accept the evidence unless the man himself came to your house and told you he was Muslim to your face. And then only if people were watching.

  • The title is part of the report, moron. There are no special rules that mean you can lie in the title, moron. There are no special rules that mean you have to expand on every detail in the title or else it's not true, moron.

  • In America there is free speech and you can always find a politician's lookalike. In soviet Russia, politician lookalike find you! In Putin's Russia? Ehhhh... Dead, all dead. All of them dead. On frontline. Dead lookalikes everywhere. Terrible tragedy.

  • Does Lemmy have more freedom of speech than Reddit?

  • I mean, on the one hand, no. It's not even slang, it's just a pathetic phenomenon where the users feel forced into using words they don't want to, even though they aren't being forced but they cowardishly still do it for fear of actual censorship. But then, on the other hand, my generation's youth slang includes things like douchecanoe and heckin and live, laugh, love, so I don't feel in a superior enough position to judge gen z on theirs.

  • Oh shit! Mexico is indeed pretty blameless, except for the apparent heinous crime of existing next to the USA.Tell me though, is it true that everything is in sepia there? I only have US-made movies and TV to go off, so of course I'm assuming that's 100% accurate. Is it still sepia at night? If you fly into Mexico does it flick to sepia instantly or is it more like a slow transition that you hardly notice? Who pays for all the yellow pigment?

  • That's a good point actually. An extra level of ridiculousness and hypocrisy to this trend of self censorship.You know what worries me though? It was about 2008ish when I first heard someone say "lol" verbally as a response to a witty comment, and it was a really weird moment for me. She didn't laugh, she smiled and said "lol", because she was so used to speaking online. Now it's pretty normal to hear that. I even do it without realising it.What worries me is that these awful censorship words will creep into spoken English and people will start saying then out loud. I think I will unalive a little inside when that happens.

  • Can someone help me "get" Prince?

    Jump

  • So the subjective part is the question of is he one of the best of all time. Sure, we can have that conversation. But the part where you're outright wrong is where you exclude him from being remotely close to that conversation.As a guitarist, Prince has:

    • Impeccable musical ear
    • Intuitive note selection
    • Technical mastery of the instrument
    • Perfect timing
    • Improvisation so good you couldn't sit and write better lines
    • Riffs for days
    • Sold 150000000+ records, in a time when that mattered

    I think the above definitely puts him in the running. You might not like it, but he's up there. I'd rather collaborate with Prince than Eric Clapton, say, and he's supposed to be one of the greats. I think Knopfler beats Prince quite handily, but I'm not so sure George Harrison was better. (I'm sure George would say Prince was better)

  • Has there ever been a viable alternative to the phsycialist model of the universe?

    Jump

  • Ok so firstly, no theory can be proven. You're thinking of theorems. One of the tests of a scientific theory is its falsifiability. A simple example would be that if a single apple floats upwards from the tree instead of falling to earth, that would falsify the theory of gravity. In string theory, the falsifiability lies in the predictions of quantum mechanics. A falsification of QM would collapse string theory immediately. Of course, you've chosen this particular theory because it is at the fringes of current understanding and there is debate over whether it's a legitimate theory. However, it is actually founded on rigorous study, and its predictions are exactly as consequential as its falsifiability is agreed upon.While it cannot be proven using current methodologies, that problem puts it in such distinguished company as general relativity and even Galilean relativity were in terms of the experimental technology available to natural philosophers at the times of conception. String theory can be proved, or disproved, just not yet. So we don't write it off as academic, but we file it under "pending", until such a time as we are able to test it. This is absolutely the astute thing to do.If you have a test for God, please propose it. It seems that this particular question is beyond both practical and philosophical technology at this point in human history. There is no theory about God that can be tested, falsified, repeated and scrutinised as far as I know, so why would science waste time on this question? Maybe in the future we will have a knife of some kind that can carve meaning into this question, but we don't at the moment. There's a separate discipline for pondering abstract questions which we can't test, it's called philosophy. And it pushes science, when the time is right, to find evidence. But until philosophers find a way to test their suppositions, their suppositions are not worth thinking about,for a scientist.

  • Has there ever been a viable alternative to the phsycialist model of the universe?

    Jump

  • No it isn't, because you can't prove that something doesn't exist. However, everything which has been shown to exist (is detectable by scientific experimentation) is part of the physical world.If you are talking about things which aren't detectable, then science wouldn't be concerned with those things because they aren't worth thinking about
