Reddit censors story on Starlink losing over 300 satellites after it jumps to #2 overall for r/worldnews

damn, its so strange that a rich guy was able to throw thousands of satellites into space, in a manner that completely changes humanity's relationship to the cosmos, without any meaningful form of public debate or discussion.

even more strange when you consider that the owner of the company is one of the most talked about people on the planet. i wonder how he's able to keep getting away with it.

Helmut Marko accused of discrimination against Checo Perez

I hope one day the full story gets told about the tremendous pressure and media scrutiny checo has contended with. Its very strange, there is always some excuse preventing him from getting any positive recognition. Undoubtably, race plays a factor here, even subconsciously.

If he fails to get on the podium, he apparently needs to be fired immediately. When he has a bad qualifying and cleanly overtakes half a dozen cars to finish 2nd, then its entirely the car that’s responsible. and, i guess, also due to his ‘south american’ heritage.

Ironically, due to his inconsistent qualifying, and exceptional racecraft and tire management, he’s one of the more entertaining drivers to watch on raceday.

SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites 'leak' so much radiation that it's hurting radio astronomy, scientists say

The number of telescopes capable of doing astronomy will get smaller, the available hours on that scope will need to be shared among all academic astronomers, and therefore, the number of people able to do astronomy will get reduced.

Having a few telescopes floating in space is not a solution. Not when there is so much space unexplored. Mankind does not own the night sky, only a few billionaires do.

Do you use RSS?

I use Inoreader, it provides a great way to quickly get up to speed on the news, without relying on 'human curators' on reddit or twitter. I've been able to add lemmy and kbin community feeds no problem, and it currently serves as my 'front page', until lemmy itself becomes more stable.

Auto-de-duplication and word filters help me keep my sanity and avoid the constant musk-worship on tech sites.
