Western Media: :WHY ARE YOU FORCING US TO DESTROY OUR OWN MANUFACTURING BASE!?!??"

China:

Such a weird framing. Can it really be targeting when the broader “manufacturing West” basically self sabatoged from 2010 onward when it comes to batteries and electrification?

It’s not so much China “targeting dominance”, it’s that theyre walking in an open lane which western countries ceded decades ago. And it’s a lane paying crazy dividends. Dividends which were obvious 60 years ago.

This is mostly just western countries refusing to do anything material to shift from petroleum economies.

Yeah thats unsurprising. SPL has been rolling out in the US for a while and usually gets sold for very wide area collects at low density, simply because you can fly so much higher. I’m not sure it really found its footing there, considering how much better/ cheaper other technologies coming from multicamera systems like vexcels have come, simply because lidar can rarely compete on price.

I did a pepsi challenge using a few systems a couple years back. I think we had full waveform, SPL, and then some leica system in the mix. SPL was the loser, but in that context. It makes total sense if you need to map over a long distance but small area, fairly cheaply/ efficiently.

Yeah production stopped but we’ve got warehouses of them still in their packaging. It’ll be decades before we go through all the brainlet wojaks produced before 2023.

Sure. I think you make a point. Israel should be destroyed (as a legal structure). No government which places one ethnic or religious group above others should be allowed to persist.

Should ask Turkey or Egypt. Maybe Iran.

It gets a lot of criticism for reasons, but Signal does this.

Sure. It could be. Heck even three things could be true at much. Maybe even three ignorami all easily manipulated by their propaganda de jour. And its not like I’m new to this little panty-bundle pet issue you choose to editorially moderate around. We all see you. We all see what you are doing and have been doing around this issue for years. Just like we see Jordan Lund for what they do. Or Ruud. Or squid.

The issue to me isn’t the disagreement: its your refusal to have it and to use your moderator powers to suppress conversations which you can’t actually engage in, in a public manner, and expect to convince people to come to your side. And what it does, the way its almost exclusive to one particular pet issue: it dramatically weakens your stance.

Any point you could possibly be making which might actually be convincing becomes basically meaningless because you can’t do it rhetorically. You choose to not allow for it. Just like Squid coudlnt defend zionism rhetorically, and so they abused the power of moderation; just like Jordan Lund and their defense of establishment poltiics. These are your peers. These are who you share a bench with when you choose to engage in this manner.

If your arguments were really good and convincing, you wouldn’t need to editorialize via moderation. When you do what you do, it says more about the weakness of your perspective than it does show any kind of strength.

Two things can be true at the same time. They can be a vibed up shitlib. You can be a moderator trying to use your power to cultivate a narrow and specific interpretation of world events.

Yeah I saw the potato/ tomato comment. If you just getting going and need quick-reward for time invested, you really can’t beat kale and mustard greens. You’ll get food you can eat fast, and it will be steady and continuous. You don’t need any special equipment like cages and you don’t need to wait a whole season for results.

Mustard greens and kale.

A creature with eyes made of shadows can never leave the cave.

My understanding is that tape drives are still the basic thing for long term storage, and that they are more robust for long term storage than disc drives. And way, way, way, cheaper. I used to work at a company that like, we had so many bankers boxes of hard drives laying around, we actually got in trouble with fire dept for them blocking the hallway a bit. So that could be an option, that is, hot swappable drives.

My home server is a 42 tb nas. It cost me about 1k to set up and honestly it’s been very worth it.

I mean at that point why not go actually nutz and get into tape drives?

Who would have EVER known…

I mean I support this in terms of decentralization. I think lemmy wont be as receptive as they’re allergic to AI.

Not a lawyer, so that’s that.

But just because something is in a contract, that doesn’t make it enforceable. Companies can’t just do illegal shit because it’s “in the contract”.
