*People of Earth, your attention, please. As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system. And regrettably, your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition.-
The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you.

These are actually not very suceptible to small arms fire, they don’t need a perfect seal to stay aloft, there are cases of observation blimps being used in the US war in Afghanistan that would be taken down and they would find them full of holes from gunfire (I mean, I get it, especially in that region your roof is your private space…).
The other thing is that they can fly quite high, they would occupy spaces that traditional aircraft wouldn’t be ideal for, definitely but that is why you shouldn’t compare this ridiculous monstrosity directly to other aircraft, it is a different thing.
It really is unlike any other aircraft ever built, it is continually strange to me that this wasn’t just a vaporwave idea that never made it past planning.

- Comment on Bandcamp's alternative Mirlo to recieve a grant from NLNet to implement federation 2 days ago:
Strictly speaking Bandcamp was one of the best places to just buy music on the internet. It served for years as an inconvient counterpoint to shitheads like the CEO of Spotify who claimed there was no way that Musicians could expect to earn money from selling music in this day and age.
Bandcamp was a threat as an independent company to the strangling action being done on music by big corporations, and now it is not.
With this in mind, strictly speaking, I would say we need a new Bandcamp not owned by a massive corporation as a bare minimum requirement.

Nothing ominous about it, what are you talking about?
I mean, Timberborn isn’t a pro-Beaver psy-op campaign disguised as a cute video game that is ACTUALLY designed to train humans to mindlessly assist with Beaver terraforming crews when the day comes the Beaver Overlords decide to launch Operation Incisor what are you talking about? That is crazy talk…

Are you asking about the logic or the idea of deafening the moths?
The logic is that if the moths show a preference when they can hear they preferentially select and when they can’t hear they do not preferentially select suggesting they no longer have a source of information to go of off, that being the sound of the plants.

- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 4 days ago:
HiNa supplied sodium-ion batteries for JAC Motors in 2023. Early batteries had lower gravimetric energy density (145 Wh/kg) and volumetric energy density (330 Wh/liter) than LFP, but sodium-ion batteries have already improved since then. They have outstanding temperature range, yielding 88% retention at -20°C. For reference, the discharge capacity of NMC at 0°C, −10°C and −20°C is only 80%, 53%, and 23% of that at 25°C. The HiNa batteries had a cycle life of 4,500 cycles with 83% retention and a 2C charge rate, but even better sodium-ion batteries are on their way.
These developments point the way to much more. The cost of sodium battery materials is much lower than for any lithium battery. There are no resource bottleneck materials like cobalt or lithium to contend with. In addition, aluminum can be used for electrodes, whereas lithium requires copper for one of the electrodes. Carbon or graphite and separator materials will be similar, but in all other respects, sodium has much lower material costs. Compared to LFP, sodium does not require phosphorous, a substance that is almost exclusively sourced from one state in north Africa, nor lithium, a relatively abundant but more expensive substance than sodium. LFP cannot compete on material costs or temperature range, and both BYD and CATL expect to phase it out first in energy storage.

- Comment on Hundreds of Instagram accounts push graphic real-life violence to millions, CBS News finds 5 days ago:
This was something that was lost in the aftermath of the brutal killing of Charlie Kirk, I am not on instagram, I never watched the video because why would I? I don’t condone shooting people because you don’t like them, so despite the fact that I fucking hate Charlie Kirks guts, why would I need to see the violence literally to believe it? To witness it?
The thing is, I noticed how many people around me who were on Instagram saw it without really wanting to, it was almost a foregone conclusion from their perspective they would be exposed to it. That is fucked up, why don’t we all collectively realize that?
This is a choice in architecture, in social media governance, it is something that we shouldn’t let conservatives get away with, they can’t manage this stuff they are incredibly childish and unserious about the realworld consequences. Rightwing billionaires shouldn’t control our social media or they will let this kind of thing proliferate, they will encourage it. They want people to be shocked by a violence appearing on their feed, it puts your brain into a flight or fight response and then they can manipulate you and make you more afraid.
- Comment on When Everything Is Fake, What’s the Point of Social Media? 6 days ago:
Wrong question.
The right question is “What is the societal and economic value of a community space where the human element has been rendered functionally invisible?” to which the answer is of course “There is none”.
The problem isn’t with social media, the problem is with letting billionaires and corporations completely ruin social media and push rightwing beliefs while we pretend this isn’t an existential issue.
- Comment on Trump says Hamas will be 'eradicated' if group breaches Gaza deal 6 days ago:
“They don’t have the backing of really anybody anymore. They have to be good, and if they’re not good, they’ll be eradicated,” Trump stressed.
How? Israel has failed, even in the midst of a genocide where there is no limit to the violence they wield, to eliminate Hamas.
