I was expecting no less from Lemmy.

This reminds me that there’s a France based marketplace specialized in refurbished electronics called Back Market. I had some good deals with it some years ago, I haven’t used it recently because I’m too far.

Damnit, this little girl selling me lemonade got me good.

Yes, but less rude, like “my lil’ buddy”.

Earth’s circumference is 40 000 km, if you align 50k patches of 5 km width, it covers more than 6 times this circumference. Current human’s light pollution is already a biodiversity issue. This would be massively worsening the situation for just one system.

Do we need a paper to estimate that ecosystems that evolved with a night time with a moon (mostly partial, sometimes absent), are going to be disturbed by having 50k of them? Also it’s the new product’s responsibility to demonstrate its safety.

Again you’re implying something I didn’t mean, but the point is that having 50k times the equivalent of the moon light intensity is expected to have a bad impact on the environment.

Sorry, I clicked on accept once when I was 12 and now they allowed themselves to steal everyone’s. :/

I was not thinking about combining the beans, but about the surface that 50k of them would cover and the amount of additional light that would represent. I do hope it’s just some vaporware.

That would be multiplied by 50k according to their plan, wouldn’t it? That’s a lot of moons.

But it got a political and web powered revival due to the 2023 Irak war refusal which likely has a stronger impact on internet culture today than the WW2 has.

Does that mean two different parts of your body could have two different DNA? I think there’s some crime story about this.

The material and electronics are not neutral though. Usually it’s more efficient to have a big shared solar plant than having everyone build their own systems. It’s not just about the source being renewable.

Doesn’t it have a limited shelf life? Do you need to maintain it?

Thomas Münzer

Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know about how m. It’s quite intriguing that his revolutionary ideas came from his theology according to his wiki page.

It will depend on the people and how you approach them, some will be happy to learn your interest, some will expect that it goes both ways and some will not want to be bothered. That’s just normal human things.

Yeah, I was giving another idea in case there is no expected use.

It did definitely did, the Terror and then Napoleon empires were dictatorships. It took a century for a a democratic republic to stabilize with improvements for the common people happening progressively (under early republics but also under the empires).

Yes, Marquis de Lafayette was a famous example of a noble going against the privilege system and in favor of democracy.

I think Robespierre is one of the pioneer of both left ideology, and left extremism leading to autoritarism and its crimes as we later saw in communist Russia and China.
