If I’m being honest, So many little distros just come and go that I’ve stopped bothering to learn about any of them until they have enough support that I know the devs aren’t going to just vanish in six months.

Is it that time of the year already? How time flies…
And by that I mean the time of the year where they manufacture some bullshit reason for our prices to keep going up…
On the upside, it sounds like Starmer is saying he’ll be dead soon.
Even rabbits got their hipsters…
Sadly, for many people, “factual” means “does it agree with what I already think?”.
Those people are lost causes.
I find that, at least with local Canadian Politics, they’re pretty accurate at least. So I’m guessing it would be similar for the U.S, although the number of so-called “media” sources is far larger.
Unless there’s another one that looks very very similar, I’m guessing its:
The new Russian ones are supposed to dodge interceptors at their final stage and fly crazy fast.
The war in Ukraine has proven that what they say they can do and what they can actually do, militarily speaking, is vastly different. I’d be surprised at this point if a russian ICBM isn’t just a homing pidgeon with a grenade strapped to it.
Wherever they go, Tim Horton’s Beiber-bites eventually follow. So yeah…in this case I’d agree with that assessment.
Actually. As someone who worked in a small radio station news department for a pretty long time, I’m actually not accusing them of malfeasance as much as I’m accusing them of “over-eagerness” if that makes sense.
There’s just too much information floating around thanks to every Tom, Dick and Harry having a blog, or a tik tok, or a twitter account, all claiming to be “insiders” in one way or another. Far too much for the media to be able to properly vet every single piece of information that they get thoroughly. And it leads to mistakes.
But as an ex-media person, I aver that it’s not the media “making shit up” as the narrative nowadays seems to be. It’s more that they are reporting everything faster than ever in the hopes of beating the competition and as a result getting a lot of things wrong.
Does it make them complicit…absolutely. They need to do better. But it make them the “evil” ones. No. Not at all. The boots on the ground, so-to-speak, the everyday journalist’s job, passion, raison d’etre has always been to report the news and bring it to the people. To speak truth to power and all that rigamarole. The problem is that there’s too much information floating around to do that properly anymore.
They’ve learned from the previous doctor that when a prominent Palestinian “dies during interrogation”, there are literally zero consequences. So fuck it, let’s get this guy back into custody and let the problem take care of itself…
I guarantee you that was the thought process.
So according to the media, Russia is both “outproducing the west in artillery shells by a factor of three” and having trouble producing artillery leading it to seek tighter cooperation with North Korea.
Both of these things can’t be true…
you have already given up on life and the world
Yeah, that sounds about accurate for me…
You don’t get to that level of “rich” by having the capacity to self-reflect.
I’m not even kidding when I say it’s getting to be pretty close to the time that we need to break out the guillotines and remind these people what happens if they get too sure of themselves.
My apologies. I’ll do better next time.
Yeah. From doing some research after being corrected I confirmed that I was wrong. Adjusting my world view accordingly. Lol.
That is very true. Good point.

I don’t tend to look at the moon for mining itself, more as the port from which we can more cheaply and easily head to the asteroid belt where the money is.
Launching stuff off of earth in order to build large structures/ships in orbit is expensive as hell because of the gravity well. Get moon manufacturing off the ground, then everything we build and everywhere we go from there becomes infinitely cheaper (including Mars).
The Moon gives us the solar system. Far more than going direct to Mars ever would.
