Well…it can be an long conversation but the TL;DR is there were several space communities and it will help lemmy grow to consolidate. Mander was chosen because they are science focused and LW holds ~40% of all lemmy users. To avoid one community from dominating lemmy we need to spread the usage to multiple instances.

I’m open to the idea, but these articles bring out some of the highest levels of engagement, discussion and often bring in new readers.

Start reporting them when you see them.

I actually just repleace mine. I found that it was actually getting pretty slow at browsing the web. Websites have so much garbage code running on them these days. Funny that the new Samsung phones have the same amount of RAM and storage.

Also, the security updates thing was getting to me. I have way to much banking info exposed on my phone to keep using it out of security update window.

Spacepod by Carrie Nugent is hands down the best podcast about space. She interviews a different expert every week and gets them to share and explain their research. Fantastic. Hooked me from the beginning.

Some episodes are better than others, but they are always jam packed full of information.

Edit: Also, Carrie is an astronomer, so sometimes her and the guest fully geekout on a topic.

I don’t think there is an easier way to show the world how meaningless the russian government is.

I got an xz2 compact and was so excited about it. Then I realized that even thought it supported wifi calling, you could not used the feature on Verizon network. I tried so many different ways to get it to work, but bottom line was Verizon wouldn’t allow the required FW. Since I lived somewhere with no cell service, I had to replace it. It’s so sad that a phone can have features that can be blocked on some networks…

I’ve never seen it, but will put it on the list.

Hopefully that changes fast om the next 6 years…

Hilarious 😂 take on the cross section

I actually have a colleague who randomly saw the launch from their airplane. They had no idea and had to look it up after landing. I like all the different ways it can pull people in.

Sad so many people are afraid of the content that they down vote.

Technically, none of those examples is built in obsolescence. It works the same as the day you bought it without those features. It may not live upto what you want, but that is not built in obsolescence.

I think you mean the consumer. Odds are that your last cell phone still worked, but “the consumer” wanted newer features, faster interfaces, new security, longer battery life, new OS, etc. At this point, the obsolescence is almost entirely in the mind of the consumer

Those reports might effect investments from the smaller players, but the big names(Google, Microsoft, Meta, etc.) are locked in a race to the finish line. So their investments will continue until one of them reaches the goal…[insert sunk cost fallacy here]…and I think we’re at least 1-2 years from there.

Edit: posted too soon

They don’t build the chips at all. They pay tsmc.

Couldn’t agree more. There is quite a bit of AI vaporware but NVIDIA is the real stuff and will weather whatever storm comes with ease.

but I believe that’s not correct anymore.

Why do you believe that? As far as I understand, other HW exists…but no SW to run on it…

I guess I just have an ancient phone that can’t display it. I see it on the photos that people posted with the contrast turned up…but can’t see it at all on the original.

Trusty s10e finally showing its age…

I don’t see the hue in the screenshot

Great questions. Honestly, I haven’t given it much though.

What would determine whether a source is added?

Hard question. Open to suggestions. Even if a post starts off with a click-bait-y title/source, our member typically post concrete sources and more resources in the comments. The discussions are a large part of the community and, as of now, we are not overrun with bad sources/posts. I inclined to create a plan, but not implement until we have more issues. I’d like to say the community decides, but it could lead to endless polls about sources. Thoughts?

Frequency of reports?

Absolutely would be one metric. So far, we get very, very, very few reports in the Space community. Mostly the reports are to remove trolls or unrelated content.

Moderator discretion?

It would probably start here. Not sure I’m comfortable making those decisions, but this is likely the reality until we have more discussions and decide on a path forward.

Community vote?

This would be pretty great…just not sure how to go about it. I guess we could sticky a vote post for a few weeks or something.

Could a source ever be removed from the list if its quality improves?

We would have to have a mechanism for this. Times change. So do journals/magazines/periodicals.

I believe that Otter is correct, there is no way to restrict domains on a community level. So this would be managed by the mods supported by reports from the community.
