Technically correct. But it is still a departure burn into another sphere of influence. So you can forgive the quibble. There’s nothing else massive enough in Earth’s orbit to do a free return trajectory around. Or an orbital insertion burn into. And technically lunar orbit is still an earth orbit, but no one would ever use the word that way when in a lunar orbit.

But, yeah, technically ;)

Linux is as buggy as you want it to be. If you’re using Gentoo or Arch in production (and aren’t Valve) and are recompiling kernels cause you read a tomshardware article about a scheduler… Then yeah 😀

1991 Ford S10 pickup, on the farm, when I was 8 years old. I only crashed it on the farm once – in first gear, stopped. Took foot off clutch and lurched forward into the wall in front of me. In my defense, I hadn’t been instructed on how to turn it off yet ;)

Hypothetically: Lemmy instances where every user has to have physically met an admin and proved that they’re real or something. And they’ll only federate to other instances following the same rules.

It’ll almost be like the early 90s dialup BBS small communities, with FIDOnet ;)

The end of the anonymous web is nigh. We may not like it, but it’s probably the only way. We used to joke in the 90s about requiring an internet driver’s license before allowing people on Usenet. It might actually be happening.

Justifying. Basically you already have a behaviour in mind, but you need an excuse to execute on that behaviour.

It can also be retroactive. You can create an excuse for your behaviour after you’ve already done something – retroactive justification.

Funniest comment

He’ll be bored. Then he’s dismantle it and keep the $1B ransom he got from each dictator to be a member, and claim it achieved all if its goals.

Instability in a neighbour is the perfect excuse for a fascist expansionist “intervention”. Ugh. Not that I like the cartels or anything. Mexico is stuck between a rock and hard place here.

Went to a strip club once and the stripper was handing out fake $69 bills with her image on it and a link to her OnlyFans…

Definitely not in ziplock bags hidden in the nearest forest to the school, put there by your older brother…

You might need help. If you’re unwilling to seek help, then at least learn to code and, you know, read the code.

The game engine that Paradox uses in their games is named after him. For reasons

LinkedIn is like a tenth as bad as others. At least it is (still, somewhat) marginally useful.

Well the ads percentage in the feed keeps going up. And more AI generated crap. But show me a social network (that isn’t Lemmy) where that isn’t true.

The Matrix was right. Lynch’s Dune was peak humanity.

It’s a pun!

Joke’s on you! I’m a Betazoid. Captain, I feel… Intense… Scrolling.
