@Yazer The immediate "puzzle" that inspired this complaint was "Conundrum Unsolved" from Pathfinder Wrath of The Righteous

Blocking makes your experience more pleasant, but it doesn't protect the community. If the community doesn't defend itself, it will become worse and worse over time until it is no longer a place you want to be. Recommend reading.

It looks like this article is using @ZLabe 's charts, he posts regularly about this on mastodon, if you're using the "follow" feature on here (or on a mastodon account) at all I definitely recommend following him.

Satellites go beyond the moon, but not starlink satellites (or any future competing large mesh network of satellites), they are in in low orbit to minimize latency. I haven't double checked with math or anything but I don't think they should be high enough to be in sight of much more of the moon than the earth is.

Both "on the earth" and "on the moon" provide about the viewing angle of the sky (a semi-sphere). Unless we're tracking an object with multiple of these spaced around the earth to get 24/7 recordings the moon doesn't seem worse...

Even then, with two of these you could put them opposite eachother just barely into the "dark side" (side facing away from earth) of the moon and get nearly 360 degree coverage. You'd have to not literally be on the boundary/leave an earth sized gap in the coverage, but it would be pretty damn close.

The manipulation of the numbers suggests that you just need the right letters in the right order...

The treason party has to find some way to please Putin and distract from his war after all.

Same as on twitter.

On reddit only reddit knew who you voted for (so long as your preferences were set so that votes weren't public).

If your accounts are on different instances (with different admins who aren't sharing logs, it would be weird if they were) then I don't think there is anything to correlate beyond analyzing the writing style.

AcitivtyPub doesn't forward on metadata like "what IP address sent this".

I have to say I'm lowkey dissapointed, it was fun seeing my score bouncing around 0.

But it claims it will become decentralized (unless something has changed in the last month or so).

Toronto, and the law I'm referring to is a city bylaw.

Pretty sure these people are trying to build a stylish helicopter more than anything else.

Just in case you're not aware, armored trains are (or were) a thing. In the US they were used from the US civil war to early in the cold war (at the end there to transport nuclear weapons).

In the rest of the world... the most recent use is by Russia in their invasion of Ukraine.

I don't believe so. They'd have to remove identifying information, but my imperfect understanding is outside of that they are allowed to keep the content.

A single world spanning country.

If we don't kill ourselves off first it will probably happen eventually. Country sized used to be limited by things like communication latency, and the time it took to move forces around. Technology has shrunk the world so that those things no longer matter. The natural size limit on a country is almost certainly as large as the earth now.

It won't happen soon, cultures will take time to become similar enough to merge. Leadership structures take time to be absorbed into a greater one (EU style) or have to forcefully taken over (Chechnya style, thankfully very rare these days). But with no real impediment to countries growing larger, it will happen eventually. With no-one able to fund or support rebellion and modern technology making police actions extremely effective it may well last effectively forever.

Whether it's a democratic utopia, a dictatorial nightmare, or something in between for the common citizen is not yet defined. Either way, war, as in peer to peer conflict between sovereigns, will be over.

Phrasing it as "spotting potential swatting calls" is approaching it from the wrong direction.

Instead it should be "confirming that there is probable cause before moving in with weapons". A single call should not probable cause make.

Youtube is allowed to encourage you to say things. That's guaranteed by the free speech rights of the people that make up youtube.

What I expected:

Randos asking for it on /r/redditrequest

And if that didn't work out poorly paid workers in some cheap country somewhere, like facebook does.

Thanks, I love it.
