e.g. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/ryzen-3000-fix-sinkclose-vulnerability-183025768.html AMD has these sorts of flaws too, I don't know enough to tell if AMD is significantly better at this when deciding to buy

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." When fascists eventually resort to it, they find they're not the only ones who can use violence.

I don't think people need to enshrine anonymity absolutely to post crap daily for millions of followers. You could have an accreddited human poster who proves not only humanity, but also agrees to a few rules to maintain this credential. And then you could still have non-accredited posters who nobody vouched for, but everyone should instantly doubt and dismiss their big claims as shitposting.

This would also have to be state-provided, because states and citizens are the ones who lose the most with infowarfare, corporations don't care.

maybe ask on reddit...there are subs where you can check...I can't remember anymore...sth like shadowban or amibanned

You could take Marin Preda's approach: use suicide as a figurative escape hatch that you don't have to use, but gives you the solace that there is a choice, which helps make other choices in an absurd world, which paradoxically makes it easier to endure through absurd situations.

Yea, like a giant pile of statically charged asbestos that are hard to clean away.

This is so exciting because it sounds doable. Unlike Mars, which is a tragedy awaiting the overconfident.

I mean, lunar water exists...they just have to figure out if it flows when the moon faces the sun for 14 days at a time and gathers in these lava tunnels or stays in the form of beads

See, Apple? Even cars can do it :)

 

Abstract from the paper in the article:

https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2024GL109280

Large constellations of small satellites will significantly increase the number of objects orbiting the Earth. Satellites burn up at the end of service life during reentry, generating aluminum oxides as the main byproduct. These are known catalysts for chlorine activation that depletes ozone in the stratosphere. We present the first atomic-scale molecular dynamics simulation study to resolve the oxidation process of the satellite's aluminum structure during mesospheric reentry, and investigate the ozone depletion potential from aluminum oxides. We find that the demise of a typical 250-kg satellite can generate around 30 kg of aluminum oxide nanoparticles, which may endure for decades in the atmosphere. Aluminum oxide compounds generated by the entire population of satellites reentering the atmosphere in 2022 are estimated at around 17 metric tons. Reentry scenarios involving mega-constellations point to over 360 metric tons of aluminum oxide compounds per year, which can lead to significant ozone depletion.

PS: wooden satellites can help mitigate this https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-01456-z
