reddithalation

I'm not religious, but I think that was a justified bible quote, it describes the point made, and theres even an alternative example. I get that religion has done a bunch of bad things, but that was a harmless quote.

just wondering, but what are they commonly doing wrong?

wow, didnt know about that. i still think its a hard problem, i mean artillery rounds dont fly a few feet off the ground and manuever, but if anything could defend against drones it'd be that.

i dont think its realistic to have reliable anti drone defenses.

i fly an fpv drone (the kind used by ukraine), but for fun and without explosives, and they are so small and manuverable that it doesnt seem super doable to hit them with a net or whatever. jamming would work, but they can just use a different frequency, and gps spoofing is only a problem for autonomous drones.

i dont know enough about lasers to judge them, so maybe thatd work, but as an example of how extreme drones can get, there was a guy who built a little quadcopter that flew up to 40,000ft. its a hard problem

i think that might be a suicide prevention measure, i remember something about blister packaging helping reduce suicide rates.

lack of redundancy is a concern, but the same was said for fly by wire cutting the physical link between stick and controls. fly by wire is ubiquitous now, can be made very very safe, and is a net gain for aviation in general.

not having a window is obviously a bigger challenge, but its still a solvable problem.

it's addictive, and hard to pack helpful good information into a video that short, and so it just ends up being an infinite stream of completely pointless content. it cannot be good for young children to be swiping through endless shortform content all day, either.

honestly, i've mostly stopped using reddit, and it was kinda shocking switching to lemmy, where i can consume all of the content i am interested in that was posted today, and theres just, no more. it is certainly a healthier way of using social media though.

it took a bit to learn but now its great

archive team runs a distributed effort to scrape and archive all of reddit, it gets uploaded to archive.org, so at least a large amount of it is accessible through there

minecraft (java, not sure about bedrock) on linux is flawless, private servers work exactly as they do on windows.

some recent ones have been interesting, but yeah that ad really was a scummy move

newpipe is just a client for accessing youtubes servers, yes, so if youtube went away we would need to use vimeo or something else (maybe peertube, open source yt alternative?)
