  • All of the people who can afford it live in cities that have perfectly good internet.

    I think this generalization is far from valid

    • You're assuming US prices, Starlink can go cheaper and they have shown they will do market specific pricing
    • South Africa is one example where there are plenty of areas outside big cities where people could afford it
    • Starlink doesn't have to be ordered by individuals. Smaller rural communities could have a shared terminal

    This is assuming it's not cheaper/faster to just use mobile service, which has had great adoption in Africa and will probably be true in a lot of areas as you noted. Still, there's a ton of people in Africa and a lot of area to cover. I think there is a good market there for Starlink

  • I mean yes, obviously, that's the point of the mission?

    Investigating the potential habitability of Europa is the main purpose of NASA's Europa Clipper mission

    Although I definitely like the "Captain Obvious" type headline better than the usual clickbait

  • Africa will be a huge market for Starlink I think.

    Regarding the fee, probably the seller concerning the sale of the terminal. But Starlink would have to provide a contract, so they could be liable as well. Depends who the contract party is - in this case I suppose it is an abroad address. That should be easy to fix for Starlink by geoblocking for now

  • After a two-month analysis, the hackers revealed that Newag intentionally interfered with the software of the trains, causing forced malfunctions to secure lucrative contracts for their repair. They immobilized trains by implementing logic that prevented them from moving if stationary for more than ten days. Additionally, some trains had a “safeguard” preventing them from moving from specific locations in Poland, including service halls of competing companies.

    I hope they get sued into bankruptcy, this type of behavior is despicable

  • Just exclude Russia? It's not like they give a damn about their climate commitments anyway

    Russia's like that one kid that attacked another kid, is now having a bad day, and trying to make everyone else's life miserable for it

  • They are fighting a war of attrition, that will last for years until Russia yields

    You are forgetting next year's US elections, unfortunately. But if that doesn't go the wrong way, the Vietnam scenario is indeed somewhat realistic, with the difference that Ukraine is a lot closer to Russia than Vietnam was to the US

  • I once collaborated with an exceptionally talented programmer who seemed so engrossed in his addiction that he would invent challenges where there were none, presumably to make his work more engaging and bearable. However, this often led to incomplete projects because once the stimulating aspects were finished, he struggled to find the motivation to continue. Clearly, this behavior was extreme and detrimental.

    I think a lot of devs can relate to that

    reply to specific part of a comment

    If I want to quote a specific part of a comment to reply to it, that's not possible with Connect right now unless manually copy pasting the segment.

    Ideally, the existing "quote" option in the editor should take into account selected text

    great link handling

    Just wanted to say I really like the link handling in this app. When I use lemmy on Desktop it's always a nightmare to navigate different instances, even with the Greasemonkey script. This app just does it out of the box. Barely had any cases where it doesn't work recently

    My personal highlight: black formatter integration.

    So convenient to just format on save.

    Sidebar search should search own subscriptions first

    Currently it seems the sidebar search lists search results from the fediverse, not from my subscribed communities. If I want to go to a specific community, I go to the sidebar. With a lot of subscribed communities you can't favorite all of them, nor do you want to search the entire sidebar list manually

    Example: I am subscribed to [email protected] and [email protected].

    When I search space, neither show up. Instead a bunch of smaller communities are listed, like [email protected], or occult (wtf?).

    Navigate to community on another instance?

    Maybe I've just not figured it out, but it's there a way to navigate the subs on a different instance without switching accounts? Like going directly to [email protected]?

    Example, I'm on lemmy.ca but I want to subscribe to /c/linux on programming.dev. I'm struggling hard to navigate to this community, as it's not turning up in search either.

    Edit: I found it on search, but it's made worse by the fact that search is not showing the instance of the communities, so you just end up with a bunch of communities and a subscriber count based on your local instance, which means pretty much nothing

    Search comments in post

    I saw a feature request for searching comments inside a post in this community, about 4 weeks old.

    Seems like a pretty key feature that is still missing. Is this planned currently?

    (fixed in 1.98) Why is the comment icon red in the post list?

    Is this due to my settings or has the default changed?

    remove need to save settings

    This is quite unintuitive nowadays, as most interfaces don't require manual saving, especially on mobile. I've caught myself more than once forgetting to save and having to redo settings changes. I think what makes it worse is that the settings button doesn't stand out on dark mode, or change much when there are unsaved changes
