I vaguely remember a video about history of weapons that goes like "rock, fast rock, pointy rock, (...) spicy rock dropped from big metal bird" (nuke) but I can't find it again. Does it ring a bell for anyone here?

If someone wants karma they could host a modified instance where every post gets thousands of upvotes for free. Other instances can't really verify whether that's accurate.

Maybe on the support ship, but not on the sub. Starlink frequency can't penetrate water.

Starlink doesn't work for submarines. The radio frequency they use can't penetrate water. The support ship does use it to communicate with the outside world, but the communications link between the ship and the sub has to use entirely different technology.

Mirror film. The antenna have a highly reflective film coating that reflects all light from the sun in a specific direction in space, away from Earth. The parts of the satellite that aren't flat enough for the mirror film do use the dark paint.

Wenn wir die 500€ für Arbeitslose durch 500€ bedingungslos ersetzen würden, dann würden sich kleine Jobs, die nicht viel zahlen aber auch nicht viel Aufwand brauchen, vielleicht mehr lohnen.

Does it cause issues if domain and tld match?

One winning is not necessary desirable, the whole point of federation is to spread things out over many instances.

One issue with the fediverse right now is that there are many redundant communities. Like [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc all having essentially the same topic.

I think the easiest solution to this is to take reddit's multireddit feature, allowing users to create their own "technology" multi-community that includes all the popular technology communities from all the instances. Thanks to federation, the user could interact with this multi as if it was one big community. Perhaps a way to share the multi with others so that all the component communities get federate-mirrored to the new user's instance would be needed too.

If per-user instance filters are implemented, perhaps instances could have "default blacklists" for new users for stuff like exploding-heads or lemmygrad that most people don't want to see, with the option to manually un-block them if someone does want to see that.

Nope, linking the video file directly creates a download link. It doesn't display a video and clicking the link downloads the mp4. Adding onlineplayer.com makes it try (but fails) to display a video inside lemmy, but clicking the link plays it.

Brilliant Pebbles. A space-based ICBM interceptor program from the 80s.

The one part of Reagan's Star Wars that would totally have worked if they'd deployed it, but the Soviet Union didn't last long enough...

Trotz Namen sieht https://sh.itjust.works/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/Local/sort/Active/page/1 nicht wie eine reine Shitpost-Instanz aus. Camping, Python, Babylon 5. Und NCD ist halt dort...
