They tried that in 2022. It got fuck all news coverage. The fact you don’t know is exactly why they jumped it up to things that would get them in the news.

Generators, fans, boats, planes, lawnmowers (sit on and push), strimmers, powered dumpers, diggers etc etc. if you Google it you’ll probably find more.

At a charger!

Next question.

An electric motor and gas engine. It’s the first line.

Not that I remember and I saw it in the cinema. Soundtrack was decent though.

If not now, soon.

As for recycled plastics, I mean, yes? That’s kind of the goal. Fully recyclable devices is my desire, regardless of material. Right now, plastic isn’t for the vast, vast majority.

How is it weird? It’s not just you and me, it’s billions of people world wide.

Also, don’t try to claim you know me or how much plastic I use. I work very hard to not use any unless absolutely necessary, this is one such time.

Honestly, Lemmy has the weirdest takes at times. Aiming for better is not a bad thing to want, I thought given the balance of people here that being less wasteful would be a plus.

If it’s ones use and out plastic, I’ll stick with glass and metal. I know someone is about to say they still cause CO2 and they do, but these materials can at least be easily recycled. This means when the rest of the chain becomes green (for lack of a better phrase) then so will this part.

If however it’s using fully reusable and fully recyclable (not just incinerator “recycling”) then sure, absolutely no issue. Fully behind it. I’m willing to bet, however, all of the money in my pocket that that’s not the case here though sadly.

Just missing Outlook(1) and Outlook(OLD DONT USE)

I’m sure that this is just a temporary thing until the ring is fully integrated into future booster versions. There’s been changes to Booster that’s bumped its mass up quite a bit I believe.

I’m sure one of the videos from the known commenters noted that this means it’s a fair bit heavier but future ones reduce weight. Due to how fast they iterate and build the changes are being applied to a few boosters from now but they’ll just make do with what’s coming before that.

I’m not sure:

‘Lynch calmly responded: “There is plenty of money in the country, it’s just a matter of whether you want to get some of it and distribute it more equitably.”’

is classed as “destroys”. It seems like it’s his standard line. The problem here is that the headline doesn’t deliver and the article is basically a soundbite rather than actual reporting on the “why” part of either statement. It’s frustrating that there’s so much of this clickbait “churn” paraded about as news. We need a better informed and educated population of were to avoid more Brexit style nonsense in future.

For me, basically, this. Articulated all of the points I would want to, far better than I could have. Great summation…

Really the only difference was I used to genuinely like flying my ships, that for me was the “goal”. MM has made them less “fun” overall at the moment and they feel “arcadey” for lack of better description. I just don’t enjoy them now.

I think that’s the ones that try to trick you out of your soul via the power of science.

Is it 2019 already??

Glorious!

What’s the name of that star base with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?

Apple popularised two things that bug the shit out of me in addition to everything you said. “on iPhone” “on iPad” just sounds utterly wrong. It needs to be “on the iPhone” “on the iPad”. Now everyone is doing it.

The other is " breathlessly we’re excited to announce/we’re excited to share with you/we’re excited!!!big fucking cheesy grin". The whole point of having that whole “excited” or whichever adjective you want at that point of the sentence is to prep you and let you know what you’re supposed to feel. If it’s that good surely you shouldn’t have to tell me what I need to feel.

It was a fantastic hour and a bit of actually being able to see it with the naked eye and I managed to get some cracking pictures. This is supposed to go on for the rest of the weekend too as there was a large solar flare the other day. Tomorrow so far is forecast to be even more intense.

Reddit and Lemmy have a few different nuances that Sync doesn’t properly address. A good example is blocking communities or individuals right from the post menu. Syncs development has been sporadic or at least was when I paid attention. In addition Connect has a few additional features like “hide all above” which is a nice feature to have once you get used to it.

Connect. I came from Sync for Reddit and Connect has that nice clean layout that others lack as well as nice, simple swipey gestures.

I’ve tried pretty much all of the others ones (at least those that existed up to 3-4 months ago) and I keep coming back to Connect.
