  • Lemmy is a federation of servers. “Lemmy” is not one political group with one viewpoint. If you’re looking for different viewpoints, try different groups, or different servers.

    In another comment you said this about the comments you read:

    they’re made in bad faith

    I don’t think this is true. I think that what you think is “bad faith” is actually “people who disagree with me”. So far, most users of Lemmy appear to trend politically left by American standards, but that’s only because American standards are so absurdly skewed to the right that it appears to stand out. By American standards, “truth” is left-wing.

    Ask yourself what you’re actually looking for.

    So, “yes”, but also no. You’ll lose the calibration panel for your display, and the result will probably be unwatchable.

    You’re much better off buying a display which is un-smart to start with. These are often called “commercial displays”. Or of course you could just buy a monitor.









  • Sure! I’d be happy to.

    The satellites operate in an extremely low orbit. At the end of their life they are manually de-orbited. If they fail, they will naturally de-orbit themselves in just a few years. They contribute to “space junk” in no way.

    The precise position of all the Starlink satellites is known, and space is much bigger than you appear to be imagining, so the network will in no way impede lauching rockets.

    There is no need to simply make stuff up about Starlink. There are plenty of reasons to hate Elon without inventing things.
