  • US Congress postpones decommissioning of ISS from 2030 to 2032, and directs NASA to build a permanent Moon base

    Jump

  • Thanks, that makes sense

    There is a ton of external wiring and plumbing connecting modules, so it isn't as easy as undocking one. Think about all the power and cooling connections that have to route to the truss, plus all the data lines between modules. The US segment and Russian segment are inextricably linked with all those external connections, and potentially even cold welded together at the mechanical interface.

    So was the purpose of the modularity only to allow for it to be built piecemeal or is this congealing of the modules due to one-off repairs that accrued over time?

    I remember seeing a concept for a Boeing space station that used inflatable modules and I thought at the time it seemed kinda like a evolution of the ISS's modular concept. But your explanation make me wonder if a modular space station even makes sense (outside of the initial building phase)

  • Maybe this is a stupid question, but why does discussion of the ISS's age always end up as an all-or-nothing debate? It's modular so can't we treat it like a Ship of Theseus and replace the modules one at a time?

  • How GitHub monopoly is destroying the open source ecosystem

    Jump

  • I said its one of the reasons behind the network effect, not the network effect itself. github can offer more freebies, which attracts more users, which makes it more attractive to other users and for existing users to stick around.

  • HTML’s Best Kept Secret: The output Tag

    Jump

  • the main reason is because people don't know about it

    But you know about it now and you're still arguing against it.

    it's an extra thing to remember for little benefit the "only" do a really useful thing that lots of people want.

    The benefit you see in those tags is the same level of benefit that users who use accessibility features get from output and other semantic tags. But your argument seems to boil down to "I dont need accessibility features so i don't care about enabling them for ppl who do". That's very disappointing and continuing this debate seems pointless so i'm gonna stop here

  • HTML’s Best Kept Secret: The output Tag

    Jump

  • Expecting all devs to test their sites with screen readers is unrealistic.

    I disagree with this but its not what we're talking about. You said output is useless and I'm saying its obviously not. There's zero cost to using it instead of a div so the only reason not to use it is to purposefully screw users who need accessibility features.

    All those other elements give some benefit apart from accessibility

    Maybe for label but p and h1 - h6 only differ from div in styles, which is another argument in my favor. If you're willing to swap a div for one of those for visual users, swapping a div for output should be just as easy of a change.

  • HTML’s Best Kept Secret: The output Tag

    Jump

  • Yes exactly. Which is reason enough to use it, unless you purposefully want worse accessibility.

    You could make the same argument about p, h1 - h6, label, etc.

  • HTML’s Best Kept Secret: The output Tag

    Jump

  • Nearly every web app that uses an input calculates and displays some result based on those inputs. It's clearly useful.

    Activists Are Using AI to Identify Masked ICE Agents

    Jump

  • They don't need "powerful ammo". They're already rounding ppl up and illegally imprisoning them. And they plan to keep going further; ICE is on a hiring spree right now and just got a huge budget increase. They don't need valid excuses to be jackboots because they'll just do it anyway.

    Refusing to use available tools to fight back is ridiculous. There is no "what if" here. They're already doing it and they've made it clear that want to do more

    Activists Are Using AI to Identify Masked ICE Agents

    Jump

  • If the system flags the wrong person and a witch hunt ensues, it will validate every right-wing persecution complex there is.

    Could you explain your worry further? To me, the problem with AI facial recognition is that a government or company using it has all the power. If they get a false positive, the wrong person gets hurt with no recourse. Civilians can't do anything detrimental with a person's identity that's not already illegal. Cops have been identifiable since they were catching slaves and outside of organized efforts (which this is not) there's been no issue with thatt.

    Also, it seems trivial to add a step after the system returns an identification that checks if that person is actually employed by ICE. If not, oops it got it wrong; no harm, no foul. Even if it's wrong after that step, then what? I've seen no evidence that ICE agents are receiving anything beyond verbal harassment in the first place (outside of protests, where any hypothetical harm is random and not based on identity)

  • Pocket is Saying Goodbye: What You Need to Know | Pocket Help

    Jump

  • I'm happy to see Mozilla narrowing its focus to making just a damn browser

    but thats not what theyre doing. im on mobile so dont have the link handy, but they mention in a different article that they think Pocket has been superseded by AI and tab groups. theyve harvested the bits of it they want and have no use for the consumer service now but its not about narrowing their focus.

  • Pocket shutting down

    Jump

  • They promised to open source it 7 years ago when they bought it and now they're snatching it out from under users and shutting it down. Mozilla is getting better and better at emulating its Silicon Valley idols

  • Resistance from the tech sector against trump's facism

    Jump

  • The point I was making here is you start sabotaging & can end up harming people that may have been allies

    How? The call to sabotage was against fascist programs, like surveillance, illegal arrests, etc. How would sabotaging those hurt people who could have been allies?

    Second, the more you start demanding people do what you want else you'll sabotage, attack them, etc

    That is nowhere near what is happening here. We have a system of laws that is being broken. Nobody was calling for sabotage when those laws were followed. But people who use less aggressive methods to combat fascism, i.e. writing op-eds, speaking publicly against administration policies, leading protests, have started facing punishments. They are preventing the normal exercise of civilian power, so we have to escalate to sabotage or similar actions. That doesn't make us like fascists because we are not the ones defying and breaking existing social norms and laws. This is a ridiculous argument.

  • Join Mozilla in testing the new Firefox address bar!

    Jump

  • so, now, Firefox detects if you are on a page that has search capability

    Didn't Firefox have this years ago through OpenSearch and Mozilla removed it.

    Moving the shortcuts at the bottom of the URL bar dropdown into a more prominent position

    They're moving always visible icons into a menu that takes an extra click. Years ago these used to be actual buttons that you could click to perform the search with that engine.

    It's like they're bragging about their feature regressions.

  • Handheld consoles are the industry's next battleground | Opinion

    Jump

  • Ive been a console gamer for twenty years and I bought Decks for myself and my wife. For me, console gaming was about convinence and comfortability (and group play). The deck nails both of those, with the addition of cheaper games and full PC capability, while consoles have been regressing on convinence. The Deck also has an easy path toward the big screen group play I enjoy with accessories

  • Valve's Deadlock adds proper Steam Input support with Steam Deck improvements and a new hero

    Jump

  • I think it's slightly misleading saying they've added a new hero on the title, when in reality they've just added a very very pre alpha stage hero to the hero labs

    The game is still unreleased. The whole game is pre alpha

  • Self hosting isn't really compatible with viral content

    The post I was replying to claimed virality and self hosting are at odds with one another because it causes skyrocketing expense. My point was that maybe someone selfhosting a server in the fediverse is not as interested in virality. And I doubt even the most viral posts in the fediverse would break the bank of a selfhoster

  • Virality is nowhere near the only reason for posting videos. People post them to make jokes, teach something, reply to someone else, etc, or all the same reasons someone might make a blogpost or a post on a link aggregator.
