European rival to Musk’s Starlink in talks to boost satellite services to Ukraine
  • holy crap there is a starlink alternative? Do they work in the US? I would love high speed internet at my house but Im in the sticks I get the most attenuated DSL signal allowed. Last I looked into starlink there was concerns about the long term viability of the technology. If I remember right, the network would get congested pretty easily. That plus Musk had me shying away, but if there is an alternative....

  • Lemmy Needs to Fix Its Community Separation Problem
  • I think the community subscription model in the article fixes this (imperfectly). [email protected] can have strict rules while [email protected] could subscribe to it and pancakepurists could subscribe back with the understanding that the rules are slightly different there. [email protected] could similarly link to both those without either having to be mutually interactive.

    I think the problem comes from some increased moderation loads by allowing a community to follow another. If I were to put on my paranoid hat it could be used to monitor and brigade a community. I think the solution for that is moderation tools. Banning instances, federation etc. I'm not a mod anywhere so I don't know what is possible.

  • Lemmy Needs to Fix Its Community Separation Problem
  • Personally I think proposal 2 and 3 should happen concurrently. Using the example in the post I would setup a custom feed (that can hopefully consolidate cross posts) for breakfast. I would put [email protected] which subscribes to [email protected] I can also add [email protected] and [email protected]. so when someone posts about the best homemade peanut butter syrup recipe that is cross posted to my pancake and waffle communities, I don't get 4 posts about it, I can see it once and choose where to reply (pancakes obviously, I'm a waffle purist).

    Community interlinking/subscription fixes a slightly different problem than custom feeds IMO. It's a really good idea, but I would personally still want custom feeds (with the ability to handle crossposts in a customizable way).

  • rule
    Official page on the new EPA.gov, alleging that Biden gave $2 billion in "gold bars" to Stacey Abrams's group, linking to press coverage from some hilariously chosen press
  • One could make the argument that they didn't do their due diligence and rushed out funds without proper oversight. Honestly it doesn't sound great rushing out that amount of money (IF true), but with the backdrop of what was coming, it is obvious WHY they rushed.

    Really, the accusation of corruption is comical given this administration's actions.

  • Trump says Ukraine started the war that's killing its citizens. What are the facts?
  • Per NATO rules, Ukraine was not eligible to join due to the 2014 invasion by Russia as that was considered a border dispute. Prior to that they weren't really trying due to Russian influence/ corruption of Yanakovich etc.

    As far as avoiding the conflict, Obama absolutely should have taken a harder stance on Crimea and Donbas. Before that Bush should have taken a harder stance against the Russian invasion of Georgia. They were essentially taking an appeasement approach and trying not to get pulled into war with Russia.

  • Unlucky Mouses
  • Happened at my folks house in the breaker from the mains. Mr. Rodent's carbon corpse acted as an electrode and blew a hole through the box half an inch in diameter. This happened Christmas Eve. With replacing the panel and making an appointment with the power company to inspect and reconnect, we didn't get power back for over 3 weeks. Since they live on a well, and the booster pump needs electricity to run, we had to draw water from the storage tank a bucket at a time.

  • It's only offensive to a specific group of people
  • Why choose "offended" as the verb here? I'm not saying I've never seeing an offensive movie.... But what you described is an annoyance at most.

    It's almost as if you are claiming offense to be contrarian.
