I’m struggling to keep my hype in check. I’ve resolved to the occasional glace at their git log and dev updates channel.
Most of it is pretty slow, but in whole it is exciting.

The nostalgia for the Kerbin map is going be crazy if KSA takes off and fills the void for the next decade or so.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 1 week ago:
My mom said basically the same thing, putting a date of 2 years on anyone who got the vaccine. Here we are way past that mark.
She’s still a lunatic, and I’ve been low contact with her for months now.
- Comment on If you were to launch a rocketship parallel to the earth, on wheels, how big would the ramp have to be to get it into space? 1 week ago:
If you’re going fast enough for a ramp to send you into space, you’re already going sufficiently fast to have a set of wings to carry you the majority of the altitude you need to achieve. And at that point, you’re trying to make a SSTO space plane. But those aren’t currently viable with existing technology due to inefficiencies in current rocket designs.
Earth is big, with a very deep gravity well. It’s not well suited for fully self powered space planes.
- Comment on Finland warms up the world’s largest sand battery, and the economics look appealing 1 week ago:
it’s hard to get any cheaper than the crushed soapstone now housed inside an insulated silo in the small town of Pornainen. The soapstone was basically trash — discarded from a Finnish fireplace maker.
Hell yeah. I’m glad that this works with that kind of sand, and is being done without the kind were running out of.

Never used RiF, but I left at the same time. The writing was on the wall.

Becoming a lobbyist doesn’t sound like leaving politics.

- Comment on Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads 4 weeks ago:
Because of the networking effect, people don’t leave.
Federation is strong specifically because of how it gets around the networking effect. You don’t need a .world account to see content from it. That doesn’t apply for Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube without shenanigans.
This notion that everyone’s just going to pick up and leave Lemmy
You don’t need to leave lemmy. It takes 10 minutes to set up a new account somewhere else, with zero downsides.
- Comment on Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads 4 weeks ago:
Even Lemmy isn’t magically immune. If the admins of .world got handed checks for a couple million dollars in exchange for the rights to operate the servers, what would discourage them from cashing out?
Nothing, but it would be far less disastrous than say some billionaire buying the town square of the internet.
Because it’s federated, everyone can just leave. There is nothing stopping people from ditching .world and moving on.
- Comment on Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads 4 weeks ago:
It is open source. But from what I can tell the accounts are still hosted centrally, and it isnt federated in any way, which isn’t great.
Still a step up from Discord though.

Same. I just hope my friend group and by some extension the gaming community chooses something that won’t fall into the same pitfal of closed source for profit organizations.
I hope the transition is towards matrix or something like it.

Tbh this one is a pretty easy one to undo at least. Just give them stupid OP magic items and have the BBEG wonder into camp unarmed.
So this one esentially boils down to “you only play once and your friends are pissed”
- Comment on Let's play this game again 4 weeks ago:
Had this happen with one dude in college. I had no clue why he joined at all. He spent every session on his phone held 6 inches from his face, and always had to be told when it was his turn in combat, just for him to have no clue who to attack.
- Comment on Let's play this game again 4 weeks ago:
That seems oddly specific and personal.

The side effect is intended to be bad.

There sure is a lot of “you poop yourself every time you use it” type responses here.

If your already on your deathbed, it would be a painful way to die, but you’d at least get an amazing view for a few seconds.

Depending on how controlled the flight is, you could just flight 5mm off the ground and just look like you’re walking normally.

They said control. They didn’t say they’d use it to directly cause people to shit. As written, they could control their GI such that the direction is reversed.
They could cause people to throw up feces.

I never suggested otherwise. However capitalism’s core motivator is exploitation.
It is in no way wrong to suggest we move away from such a model, or criticize such a model.

It also allows the game to revive itself. Those 40 players playing pirated WoW could introduce more people to the game. And at the very least, it allows it be run in the future if ever historians should need access.
