It's almost impressive the levels and varieties of tone-deaf a single person is capable of.

From the article.

The creators expect the wooden material will burn up completely when the device re-enters the atmosphere—potentially providing a way to avoid the generation of metal particles when a retired satellite returns to Earth.

These metal particles could have a negative impact on the environment and telecommunications, the developers said as they announced the satellite's completion on Tuesday.

be warned, it'll give you unearned optimism about how responsible you are to revisit the tabs you saved but will never see the light of day again.

Years of cynicism got jumped by this announcement. Alongside with the community feedback, gotta give kudos to Arrowhead for dragging their feet with Sony instead of mindlessly becoming their sockpuppet and prioritise community goodwill.

Team effort where I trust the devs and be far more wary of Sony.

For the sake of the meme, I will out myself and say that I've been confusing Napoleon and Neapolitan for all my life. I feel seen.

After the following years, I've quietly taken the whole "this is when we diverged into the darkest timeline" schtick an iota more seriously. It's been a strange 8 years.

then what's stopping people from just going/staying on reddit?

Content isn't an issue, the internet is filled with AI generators and bots. Meaningful content and engaged communities are what we should be encouraging.

Reposts and directly referencing reddit is counter to that imo but I appreciate the intent.

*Should clarify i have no problem with reposts but diaagreed we have a "content problem" but more an activitg issue/opportunity to make a unique fediverse-lemmy internet culture and copy-pasting reddit is not the way to go.

anyone who was planning to not even understand, let alone use, statistics in psych of all disciplines should seek a different vocation.

It's literally the only way to make sense and genuine progress, especially compared to those 20th century old rich dudes who were high af, used anecdotes, derived causal effect from correlations, and made "findings" that reinforced their own biases and beliefs.

Do everything right, and the number's won't lie to you. It's never wrong, it's just unexplained.

tbh i used the revolver as my pseudo primary and frees up my primary slot for utility weapon/light enemies. Not very meta but fun as hell to feel like a space cowboy

It is wild that this post about a harmless abbreviation that refers to cringey (but endearing to me) narrow slice of early-mid 2000s internet culture got this reaction out of you. Something that could be ignored or looked up.

Be it Lemmy or the communities you stumble upon, but perhaps some introspection about how you respond and interact with the internet could use a revisit.
