Near enough to be relatively confident in how much we won’t progress in terms of colonizing space. The general public severely underestimates the limits to space travel & survival. It’s not like I can tell you exactly what or when technology will be like in some exact point in the future, but it’d probably be a few hundred years until we could actually make nation-sized space colonies, and there’s pretty much no future where space habitation replaces or becomes greater than Earth habitation, unless we go ahead thousands if years. There were a few interesting astrophysics papers estimating that near-lightspeed and FTL travel tech is like 8000 years away lol.

“Future technology” can’t solve all of our problems. It’s not magic.

Lol space will NOT make any difference at all. That technology is not progressing at a rate where we could have millions, let alone billions of people inhabiting space in the near future. We’d also pretty much be completely limited to our solar system, meaning planet-wise we have maybe Mars and Europa and Titan at best… but there’s absolutely no chance of any meaningful colonial activity on those planets, Mars would probably have something similar to Antarctic research facilities on it but that’s about it.

my guy have you been to hexbear or lemmygrad? every other post on those forums are just people whining about westerners treating china and russia like they’re totalitarian/dictatorships and genocidal (because they are) and then saying that the US is even worse with less freedom of speech and more authoritarian. and obviously the constant uyghur genocide denial saying they’re just being “(re)educated” and they’re “integrating” with the mainland communities/culture more, then deflecting and rationalizing that even if it is genocide then it’s good because US wage slavery & prison labour is bad.

plus calling ukraine nazis and in general being anti-ukraine, saying that ukrainians want to be part of russia and that ukraine was better off as part of the soviet empire, claiming that putin was justified in invading “because NATO” even though there was no way in hell of ukraine joining NATO (they don’t accept unstable countries or countries with foreign non-NATO military/rebel presence) and even after NATO started backing away from ukraine in order to please russia (tankie claims which are silly and a sick joke)…

it’s not nearly as bad on lemmy.ml, it’s mostly limited to the minority here, but the other two are definitely filled to the brim with imperialists/red nazis in denial…

god i even get the popup on mobile

Watt-hours

how hard is it to just use joules 😭 the consequences of non-metric time are grave

i’m just kidding btw, i know why watt-hours are used

“Hello, losers”

damn guess every speaker of multiple english dialects sound like idiots

generally furries are really good creatives in a wide variety of differnent areas

i mean you’re expected to know the basic functioning of the compiler when you use it

yeah i want evidence

How is that a justification? … You do see how that’s even worse, right?

Literally 2/3 of the same comment you’re replying to:

I’m not saying its right, genocide is happening as we speak and the entire world should come down on Israel hard for this, I’m just saying what is real.

Full disclosure: I condemn every organization that targets civilians with violence, regardless of country allegiances.

Uhhh what? Swift is just one of the languages you can use to make native UI for Apple devices and interact with their API.

This is why you should instead use Wiktionary and donate your child’s entire college fund to the Wikimedia foundation

I live in a partially suburban partially rural area about 45 mins from the nearest mid-sized city.

Before, we had Windstream, $75/mo for cable internet that AT BEST got to ~5 megabytes per second (40 megabits per second) download speed and extremely little upload speed wireless, which always started cutting out constantly, was extremely unstable, terrible customer support, every time we complained they said our issues were caused by our router which we only had for a few months to a year and replaced it before it started doing the same thing after a few weeks or months. Near the end, video games just became unplayable and having to download even small files was a nightmare. Terrible experience overall.

We recently switched to Clearwave fiber, which is new to our area, $70/mo for 1 gigabyte download and upload speed (allegedly) presumably when wired. Wireless speed wise, the raw download speed isn’t exactly impressive but it can get to 7-8 megabytes per second which is definitely better, but the upload speed is WAY better and matches or surpasses download speed. But the most important thing so far is the consistency, the connection doesn’t just drop out randomly like the previous provider did, and I actually get a good connection on games.

I ordered this 30ft Cat6A cable from Monoprice for about $10 on sale on Amazon, looking forward to see how the ethernet experience is with them.
