uhm @self can you show me where I wrote this? can you show me where I wrote these exact words? no? that’s so irrational of you.

I’ll have you know we’re acting like someone who’s rude to “serving staff” right now, where serving staff is defined as a formerly chrome currently mozilla developer relations marketing guy with fucking flatlined vibes

don’t worry, some other fucker will sell the sunlight back to you

The original argument was about worries over Kessler syndrome and then they moved the goal post to space junk not burning up completely, utilizing an article about space junk that wasn’t ever in orbit.

no, the “original argument” (jacking off motions) was prompted by this shitpost of yours:

I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?

nobody moved the fucking goal posts, normal people don’t go online to engage in a spot of spacex defense while pretending to hate first-name basis “Elon”. that you have a rehearsed set of fucking gotchas over the specific danger presented by spacex is fucking incredible.

You could make the argument that putting more junk into space has negative and unnecessary outcomes, but that’s a completely different argument that I would agree with.

but instead you decided to tediously split hairs over Kessler Syndrome as if anyone here other than the resident physicists give a shit. you don’t get it. nobody is here to win points. we’re not an IRB; nobody gives a shit what specific category of danger is represented by the space junk Musk’s generating. we give a shit that there’s danger at all.

fuck me there’s nothing more depressing than a spacex fan who swears they hate musk and goes to bat for the fucker’s worst, most damaging excesses

every time I’ve used it, it had massive issues with the connection hitching and with delivering anywhere near the promised amount of bandwidth

my experience is my own, etc etc, but it reminded me a lot of how every time I’ve been in a self-driving tesla the only person impressed (and not terrified) of the thing was the owner

no space bois thx

anyone else who wants to tell me “for the millionth time” about how it’s super safe to fill low-earth orbit with unprecedented amounts of literal garbage in pursuit of creating a shit-tier ISP that’s sucked hard every time I’ve used it is welcome to take it up with the professor of astronomy that wrote that last article

“it’s not Kessler syndrome unless it’s from the Kessler region of space, otherwise it’s just sparkling Rods from God” fuck you

uh huh. spacex fans are fucking wild

Kessler syndrome, and historically starlink’s satellites don’t always burn up in the atmosphere as they should

aronofsky should’ve stuck with the true future of entertainment while he was ahead

it somehow isn’t shocking that the aronofsky movies I liked seem to have been substantially plagiarized from Satoshi Kon’s work

we don’t want your special boi open source plagiarism machine either

I just made a quick change to our lemmy-ui config to hopefully quickly restart it when it once again leaks all of its memory and gets stuck in a tight set of GC cycles due to a “high” amount of traffic (normal for a public website being scraped, even with iocaine) even though it’s a node application that barely does anything at all

I can’t monitor this one as close as I’d like today so if something breaks and it doesn’t resolve itself within a couple minutes, or the instance looks like it’s in a crash loop, ping @zzt@mas.to on mastodon and I’ll try and get to it as soon as I can

yeah bye now

thanks to you he had 8 more years of life and a much happier existence than any he’d known before he met you. I think that’s remarkable.

I’m so sorry. it’s never easy when this happens, but for what it’s worth it sounds like you gave him the best life possible. it takes a great deal of strength to be with a pet until the very end, and I hope you’re able to take the time you need to grieve and recover your emotional strength.

dear fuck just when I think I’m out urbit pulls me back in

analysis coming soon, I’m reviewing some technical sources provided by a world-class cryptocurrency expert (yes it’s @dgerard@awful.systems) and howdy fuck does this ever resemble the cardano grift but with Haskell replaced with a much worse ML with a much less coherent type system

that’s great thanks

their absolute twat of a CEO is still running kagi as an AI company, and kagi fans get really weird when you bring it up

are you fucking lost? you seem to be here from 2010 before we knew exactly what the “Mozilla Foundation” was, an organization that grifts nonprofit money and hires extremely gifted devs just to waste their god damn time

so I’m not saying I’m writing this down for the Lemmy clone’s features list, but
