PSA: You can archive ships and multitools

Most of you probably know this already but I missed these features somehow and only stumbled on them recently.

The freighter Manage Fleet interface (on the console opposite the captain) lets you put ships in “cold storage.” They retain their tech but you can’t use them until you pull them out into one of your 12 ship slots.

The same can be done for multitools with the buildable Weapons Rack base element.

You can archive 18 of each. I was excited to discover this as I totally missed the news in whatever update brought it.

HELP: Can’t start Voyagers expedition

The last time I played the game was during the Relics expedition. When I went to the expedition hub on the Anomaly, Relics was still active. I clicked on Finish Expedition and it went through the rewards and the ended it. Now, it still shows Relics (finished) and has a message to wait for new expeditions. There’s no option to start Voyagers.

Any ideas? This is on MacOS but I haven’t seen anything suggesting Mac deployment is delayed.

Stop trying to make ‘kagis’ a thing.

There’s a search engine called Kagi and I’ve noticed Lemmy users trying to verbify it by using ‘kagis’ like people use ‘googles’ to mean they used a search engine to try to find some information.

Just stop. It’s dumb. Just say ‘I searched the Internet’ or something. ‘Kagis’ is not going to catch on. It’s not going to be a thing and it doesn’t need to be.

I have the inaugural ban from altmedia.house. Things they like: Mint Press News, Chris Hedges, Tucker Carlson. Things they hate: "disinformation", apparently.

cross-posted from: https://ponder.cat/post/2912206

The affinity for Tucker Carlson (as well as the other things) is from the sidebar. Apparently their familiarity with Western media is enough to know he is pro-Russian, but not enough to realize that expressing on a leftist forum that they like him, will make them glow a little bit.

The original issue was that they posted a story from Mint Press News, and I dropped them a friendly note that it was Russian propaganda, more or less assuming they had included it innocently (since there was nothing wrong at all that I can see with the particular story, or in fact with any of the stories in that community.)

Things escalated. Fun quotes by the mod from the ensuing conversation:

It's actually not from "New Knowledge," it's from a US Senate report, but I doubt that will make this person believe it any more.

The real disinformation was inside us all this time. Of course, I was banned. Reason for the ban?

Clearly, their disinformation policy is lock tight.

YSK: Mint Press News is Russian propaganda

cross-posted from: https://ponder.cat/post/2904223

MintPress News has reposted content from Russian state media outlets RT and Sputnik,[26][27] and is listed as a "partner" of PeaceData, a Russian fake news site run by the Internet Research Agency.[28][29][30] A report from New Knowledge includes MintPress News as part of the "Russian web of disinformation,"[31][32] and the site has published fake authors attributed to the GRU, the Russian military intelligence agency.[33] MintPress News defended Russia's invasion of Crimea, claiming Ukraine's post-revolution government was "illegitimate".[34]

On August 29, 2013, an unverified MintPress article attributed to Dale Gavlak and Yahya Ababneh said that Syrian rebels and local residents in Ghouta, Syria alleged that rebels were responsible for the chemical weapons attack on August 21.[14]

On September 20, the Brown Moses Blog published a statement from Gavlak saying that "despite my repeated requests, made directly and through legal counsel, they have not been willing to issue a retraction stating that I was not the author. Yahya Ababneh is the sole reporter and author of the Mint Press News piece."[37][38] Gavlak also said the report had not been verified.[16][39]

Gavlak also told the New York Times that "There was no fact finding or reporting by me for the piece. I did not travel to Syria, so I cannot corroborate [Ababneh's] account" and that Muhawesh refused to remove her name from the byline because "this is an existential issue for MintPress and an issue of credibility as this will appear as though we are lying."[37]

MintPress added an editor's note at the top of the article stating Ababneh was the sole reporter on the ground in Syria, while Gavlak assisted in researching and writing the article. It said that Gavlak was a MintPress News correspondent who had freelanced for the Associated Press (AP) in Jordan for a decade. A note at the bottom of the story says: "Some information in this article could not be independently verified. Mint Press News will continue to provide further information and updates."[40] The Russian Foreign Ministry cited the article in future statements.[41][42]

In 2023, Randi Lucile Nord, a MintPress News staff writer,[60][59] admitted to spray-painting a swastika and the word "Azov" (in reference to the Azov Brigade) on a synagogue in Royal Oak, Michigan, in order to undermine United States support to Ukraine during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[61]
