Except the carbon footprint of Starlink is estimated to be 30x greater than terrestrial alternatives.

More than half of all satellites in space are already Starlink at around 5,000, with 12,000 planned in the near future and up to 42,000 as a later expansion.

It’s just not sustainable.

The line is “the galaxy is on Orion’s belt”

The alien couldn’t think of the word “collar”

I don’t have a webcam. And I didn’t have a functioning microphone for several years until recently.

I mean, it’s not usual to find more modern books at a thrift store. Yeah a lot of them are old, but newer ones are there.

Even among the old ones there are some that are sought after, like Betty Crocker’s Cooky Book. Best snickerdoodles of my life.

I found the setting for showing a user’s instance, but still no setting for showing the instance of communities.

On Android, former Relay for Reddit user.

Right now I have SEVEN lemmy apps on my home screen as I figure out which I like best. So far I keep going back to Sync the most.

Boost’s animations suck. It takes too long to show the post list after swiping away an image and the whole screen goes black, it’s a bit jarring.

Liftoff works well but it’s ugly.

Jerboa isn’t very customizable and the post list doesn’t feel dense enough.

Voyager literally does not tell you what instance the community you’re viewing is on.

I haven’t touched Thunder in a while but I see they’ve updated quite a bit with a lot more customization. I remember older versions being nice, so I’ll give it a try again.

Connect is about the same as Liftoff, works well but kinda ugly. Admittedly not as ugly though.

Most pawn shops deal primarily with guns, tools, and jewelry. You’ll also find all kinds of electronics and collectibles, some places may have furniture too.

RCS wasn’t originally supposed to run on data, it only does now because carriers didn’t want to support it natively.

Samsung and Google are just now getting around to supporting it

Hey now, I’ve been rocking RCS for three years. The only reason it took so long to begin with is because Google was trying to get service providers to implement it themselves. Google finally said fuck it and started doing it themselves iMessage style and then providers started playing along.

There are newer AI tools that can do text accurately. Usually it’s with text provided in the prompt though, so it’s arguably not AI generated, just AI placed.

The unreadable AI text you’re familiar with is done without the AI really knowing what text is, and they’re just making something that looks vaguely like it. It’s the same way they normally handle any kind of object or shape. Newer tools are built specifically for text, so it actually is readable and makes sense.

I think it’s important for people to learn how to manage/customize notifications whether it be on the OS level or through each app individually.

I keep a lot of things as silent notifications, so they pop up but don’t grab my attention. They’ll be there when I look at my phone. I think texts/calls are the only thing that makes noise on my phone at all.

The bag full of fries seems to vary by location. I stopped at a Five Guys in Vancouver last week on a road trip and they loaded it up nicely. The one closest to me skimps a little bit but I’ve had far worse at different locations.

I thought lemmygrad.ml was the tankies.

I found myself oddly invested in that.

Right now Relay for Reddit is working on a subscription model and has been granted a extension period. It’s currently free to use. Not sure if I’ll bother paying for it to stay on Reddit, but for now I can still use Reddit without the official app.

Memmy or mlem on iOS. Try those.
