Somehow I don't think Errol Musk knew that much about the geology. Allegedly he bought the shares on a whim without first visiting the mine, which was in a different country.

Mines can absolutely become suddenly unprofitable. You don't know how much good stuff is in the ground until you dig it up.

The mine went bankrupt in '89, just a few years after Errol bought shares in it. The boss was someone else.
I vaguely remember a video about history of weapons that goes like "rock, fast rock, pointy rock, (...) spicy rock dropped from big metal bird" (nuke) but I can't find it again. Does it ring a bell for anyone here?

If someone wants karma they could host a modified instance where every post gets thousands of upvotes for free. Other instances can't really verify whether that's accurate.

Inzwischen gibt es neue Daten zu den neuen Starlink v2-mini Satelliten, die mit Reflektorfolie auf +7 mag gekommen sind, also ungefähr so dunkel wie von der Fachkonferenz gefordert.
Was in dem Paper von der Konferenz besonders krass ist sind die Plots die die Abhängigkeit von der Orbit-Höhe zeigen. Starlink bei 550 km ist wesentlich weniger problematisch wie OneWeb bei 1200 km. Was Kessler-Syndrom angeht ist der niedrigere Orbit von Starlink auch ca. Faktor 100 mal weniger problematisch.

SpaceX wants new regulations regarding satellite brightness.
Their own satellites (at least the second generation ones) fulfill the requirements set by the astronomers at the Rubin Observatory, +7 mag (10x darker than the original ones). Meanwhile the satellites of the competitors OneWeb and Amazon can't fulfill them without major design changes, because the altitude the satellites orbit at makes a significant difference.
If the recommendations of the Rubin Observatory report were turned into regulations now, Starlink would barely be affected (they'd just have to stop the gen1 sat production a little early) while the competition would be set back several years.

Mirror film. The antenna have a highly reflective film coating that reflects all light from the sun in a specific direction in space, away from Earth. The parts of the satellite that aren't flat enough for the mirror film do use the dark paint.

One winning is not necessary desirable, the whole point of federation is to spread things out over many instances.
One issue with the fediverse right now is that there are many redundant communities. Like [!technology@beehaw.org](https://beehaw.org/c/technology), [!technology@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/technology), [!technology@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/technology), etc all having essentially the same topic. I think the easiest solution to this is to take reddit's multireddit feature, allowing users to create their own "technology" multi-community that includes all the popular technology communities from all the instances. Thanks to federation, the user could interact with this multi as if it was one big community. Perhaps a way to share the multi with others so that all the component communities get federate-mirrored to the new user's instance would be needed too.

If per-user instance filters are implemented, perhaps instances could have "default blacklists" for new users for stuff like exploding-heads or lemmygrad that most people don't want to see, with the option to manually un-block them if someone does want to see that.

Nope, linking the video file directly creates a download link. It doesn't display a video and clicking the link downloads the mp4. Adding onlineplayer.com makes it try (but fails) to display a video inside lemmy, but clicking the link plays it.

Emphasis on medically transitioned.
Some people seem to think that lgbt activists want to make it so that any male athlete could just put on a wig, say "I'm trans now", steal medals from women and then detransition the next day. (As depicted in that Futurama episode.)
Letting trans people who have medically transitioned for several years compete is a very different beast from letting anyone who claims to be trans compete.
15Redstones Now • 100%
Key detail being "after transitioning".
Someone who says that they identify as trans but doesn't medically transition at all could still wreck competition. So sports competitions can't just allow all trans people, but only those who have medically transitioned. Then they need to figure out how to draw the line when it comes to different hormone dosages, surgeries, etc...

I made a little thing to more easily move to another instance: A way to quickly grab a list of your subscribed communities. Go to your list of subscribed communities, <yourinstance>/communities/listing_type/Subscribed/page/1 and create a bookmark with the following code as link: ::: spoiler code ``` javascript:(function() { const currentHostname = window.location.hostname; const table = document.getElementById('community_table'); const anchorTags = table.getElementsByTagName('a'); const communityUrls = []; for (let i = 0; i < anchorTags.length; i++) { const title = anchorTags[i].title.substring(1); const parts = title.split('@'); const community = parts[0].trim(); const domain = parts[1] ? parts[1].trim() : currentHostname; const communityUrl = `https://${domain}/c/${community}`; communityUrls.push(communityUrl); } const urlsText = communityUrls.join('\n'); navigator.clipboard.writeText(urlsText) .then(() => { alert('Community URLs copied to clipboard!'); }) .catch((error) => { alert('Failed to copy Community URLs to clipboard:', error); }); })(); ::: Clicking this bookmark will automatically copy a list of all your subscribed communities and format the links so that you can pop them in the search bar of another instance to subscribe to them from another account. It can only scrape what's on screen, so if your subscribed communities list is several pages long just click the bookmark for each page.
