you responded to a comment, not to OP :)

It’s not a nitpick for me but a relevant clarification to distinguish between two very different words.

crowdsource, not crowdfund. One is sharing the work, the other is sharing the cost.

:/

About fucking time… But knowing our corrupt overlord fucks, they will just use matrix.org free service and conclude “it’s not responsive enough, whelp, we tried…”

What I observe is not so much a “we’re too far away to be hacked” mentality, but rather a lackluster approach to software: “Software is just the cream on top that enables the real power of the hardware. So let’s have our hardware engineers do the software as a side exercise. Surely it can’t be that hard.” Then you get hardware engineers, most of whom are fucking stupid in terms of SW development, writing flight software.

With your justification, nobody should be working for HSBC, Meta, Google, Apple etc. […]

You are so close.

Possibly, but that excuse doesn’t fly for contacts following his first conviction in 2008:

[…] was convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute.

That was well before the above mentioned email contacts.

Ik vondt de enige gechillte Nederlander ;) Groeten vanuit Duitsland! (Grapje, ik weet dat niet iedereen Rutte of Wilders in het achterste wil neuken)

On the power outside the atmosphere I didn’t comment because I was too lazy to look it up, the and I knew the number of the previous commenter was in the ballpark.

Regarding the surface: my apologies, I quoted a number from university that must have been a simplification for a calculation exercise, and I made the mistake of never thinking about it critically. Turns out I was wrong.

Edit: solar radiation is only 1.3kw/m2

Outside earths atmosphere. Only ~650 Watts/m^2 reach the surface of our planet.

Edit: I posted regurgitating some simplified assumption from a text book or something I must have read in the past, the 650 W/m² is wrong.

That is a really accurate and helpful observation. Thank you :) (I mean it, unironically)

Technically, North Atlantic. One could say that it would be an organization with a North Atlantic treaty.

whoa nice! Thanks!

For people trying to configure that in mozilla (I am trying to get away from it but for now :/)

• -> Edit -> Settings -> Search
• “Search Shortcuts” -> Add (to add a search engine)
• “Search Engine Name”: DuckDuckGo Lite
• “URL with %s in place of search term”: https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=%25s (this has to be =%s, lemmy keeps mutilating that to =%25s everytime I save my post)
• “Keyword (optional)”: @ddgl (or pick whatever you like - it appears @ddg is hardcoded and gets refused)
• -> Save Engine
• scroll up to the top, “Default Search Engine”
• from the dropdown list, select “DuckGuckGo Lite”

Done.

Our system (in the end it’s the same no matter where you are) is so fucked up :/ Kids need to learn empathy and selflessness as the most important school subject.

While I would love to see them never going back, here in Germany, all it takes is some corrupt politician taking a huge bribe from a lobbyist and swoosh, they are back to Microslop.

Edit: Knowing our little corrupt fuckers in charge in German politics, the bribe probably doesn’t even have to be mediocre.

And again I have to say Jensen Huang is a piece of shit.

A quite impenetrable mountain range from coast to coast is probably what contributed to the distinction historically.

Arguably Turkey as well, albeit sitting on two continents. This hurts. Erdoğan is a stupid shithead but I don’t want anyone - not even him - to play Nazimurica’s little bitch. And the people of Turkey do not deserve this. Atatürk would turn in his grave…
