Headed by former Cyanogen CEO, it’s a Linux OS that might not be fully open.

LMAO. RIP

GlitterInfection,

Oooh that explains their website which is all marketing fluff and questionable statements like “SteamOS is locked down to the steamverse.”

What’s the USD to MOONBUX conversion rate?

conditional_soup, do astronomy w The US government seems serious about developing a lunar economy

Nope. No. Nuh-uh. Stop fucking up this planet, then we can talk. I’m drawing a line in the sand, I’m going to become an eco-terrorist if I see a fucking Coca-Cola ad when I look into the night sky.

Audacious,

All I think of is the movie, The Time Machine. Spoiler, the main character goes forward in time and sees the moon breaking apart, causing a collapse of civilisation.

Sure, why not? It’s not like we have any other pressing issues to address. Let’s keep pouring 100s of billions into the right pockets and press on.

threelonmusketeers,

“Por que no los dos?”

Humanity can pursue multiple awesome endeavours simultaneously.

atzanteol,

NASA’s 2024 budget is around $25 billion.

By comparison Apple’s revenue for last quarter was around $120 billion.

Cant wait to see how they will use moon real estate to produce a new kind of homeless people

Sure… I would also say that handheld design has gone way too far in the direction that the other alt-decks would have benefitted from going for just a little bit. The result is a pure no. There is no way you can make an all purpose gaming device without real buttons. And whatever core casual means I don’t think a megagimmick input system fits that description.

I thought economists were the stupidest people. Military economists proved me wrong.

Develop the fucking US economy.

Diplomjodler, do esa w It’s official: Europe turns to the Falcon 9 to launch its navigation satellites

Still a bargain compared to Ariane. Europe really needs to get its act together.

Fizz, do gaming w Cities: Skylines 2 gets long-awaited official mod support and map editor
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

We’ve had code modding by using thunderstore since release only new thing is paradox mod store and map editor. I did get a roughly 10% performance increase on my largest city. It’s still not where I want it to be but I’m glad it’s slowly improving.

nix,

I’m glad I skipped release day. Definitely waiting to buy it on sale after it’s been fixed with updates and DLC. Sucks to see companies treat buyers like testers.

I’m jealous haha I wish I waited.

@AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca avatar

I pre-ordered, but when they started doing damage control over how performance was going to be bad before the game even launched I sighed and cancelled.

80 bucks well saved. Still waiting for it to be fixed to pick it up. Do we have mods via steam workshop yet? I’m still annoyed at them pushing their launcher.

Fizz,
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

No they are not ysing steam workshop only paradox mods. The community is using thunderstore mods but I’m pretty sure paradox brought off the modders to ensure they move over to paradox mods.

If you live near to the path.

If your instance is any indication of location: there’s an eclipse visible in most Oceania and SE Asian islands in 2028. For a good chunk of Australia and NZ, it’ll be a total eclipse. For further info, check it here.

For me (South America) there’s one already in October, but it’ll suck from my region (14% coverage). And another in 2027 (~75% coverage).

maculata,

Cool thanks! I still think it’s a broad brush of a statement that could be qualified a little.

kif,

I’ve got this one in my calendar already, and have organised preliminary accommodation!

BossDj,

The big difference is how close the sun is to solar maximum this year! The sun is at a point of peak electromagnetic activity, something that happens every 10 to 13 years, which is reflected in more chance of witnessing bursts of energy (flares and ejections) during the eclipse.

It in all likelihood will have passed by 2028.

DannyBoy,

That’s a very big qualifier. I wouldn’t want to be trying to get flights and hotels in cities along the path.

Fuck_u_spez_,

I drove eight hours or so to watch the one in 2017. No regrets.

Zitronensaft,

Me too, the clouds overhead parted just before totality and the corona was so dazzling and magnificent. I really hope there aren’t clouds in the way during this one.

Muscar,

Just driving 8 hours for it isn’t something the vast majority of the world can’t do. You were lucky small percentage.

maculata,

Which brings me back to my original critique of the title.

Mango,

I rented a Dodge Challenger to get into the path.

maculata,

All this strikes me as the opposite of ‘low effort’.

Mango,

It’s not quite staying in and playing videogames, but it’ll do.

Green13, do astronomy w [Eric Berger] Seeing this eclipse is probably the highest-reward, lowest-effort thing one can do in life

If you waited to start planning until now it’ll be the hardest thing you’ve ever done.

xpinchx,

Yep. Anyone reading this that was planning on driving home right after - do yourself a favor and find a place nearby to stay the night.

Last time my 4 hour drive out was 17 hours back home. Gas stations out of gas, no bathrooms, bumper to bumper the whole way.

Gork, do astronomy w [Eric Berger] Seeing this eclipse is probably the highest-reward, lowest-effort thing one can do in life

Well some effort is required. You can’t just look up at the eclipsed sun with your bare eyes.

thessnake03,

I mean there’s that 4 minute widow it’s cool

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

It will be shorter unless you are in the center of the eclipse path.

Yarra,

Not with that attitude anyway

sin_free_for_00_days,

The last person I saw try to look at an eclipse was some idiot, I can’t remember his name.

JimVanDeventer,

During totality you can.

Gabu,

If you want to burn a halo on your eyes, sure.

JimVanDeventer,

Noticing a bit of misinformation here so let’s clear this up: take off your eye protection during totality. The corona is so faint you won’t see anything at all through eclipse glasses.

ShepherdPie,

When it’s completely covered you can. I did it in 2017. This is like saying looking at the moon will burn your eyes out.
