  • approaching this from the opposite direction: i honestly fucking despise how people in these organizations, who know hundreds of thousands of people look up to them, refuse to take politicial stances even as the country is crumbling around them. They should be channeling buzz aldrin and punching people in the face for opposing basic facts.

    Yeah, they’ll cut your funding, they’re gonna fucking do that anyways. Get everyone back to earth, prepare as best as possible for the power being cut, and protest the fact that current administration is literally a bunch of fascists and outright nazis who are currently dissapearing people with 0 trial of any kind.

    Hell, seeing how technologically inept everyone around trump is, i’m sure you could just transfer control of all the current space missions to the ESA!











  • I’d summarize the current OS situation as

    Windows Just Works until it doesn’t, at which point there’s basically nothing you can do about it and you just have to kick it until something clicks into place and it starts working properly again.

    Whereas linux Just Works to a slightly smaller degree, but when it stops Just Working it does so in granular steps most of the time, and every part of the ecosystem tries to help you fix things when they break.

    Windows is a resin-potted black box that takes input and does stuff, if it breaks you’re supposed to just chuck it and buy a new one.
    Linux is a slightly bulkier thing that you can just unscrew and replace a capacitor when it breaks.


  • part that, and part just that windows is successful because it’s successful. Everyone learns windows, thus everyone uses windows, thus everyone teaches windows.
    It’s like how all life on earth produces and consumes a specific form of sugar, but when you make sugar in a lab you get both forms, and the second form is completely inert to all digestive systems on earth.
