what happens when we lose the trifecta?

you may have INTENDED to imply only that, but you did imply both unfortunately. I agree with you on the cyber truck part, but I deal with a lot of slightly more rural folks and the big fear RN with electric vehicles is somehow battery fires. which is crazy since they don’t happen anywhere near as often as gas vehicles. so I’m just trying to say we should be careful to avoid that particular cliche (the battery fire part) since it misleads people

no but they ARE repeating the falsehood about battery fires being likely or common: https://lemmy.world/comment/10496586

(which is something your joke implied)

repeat falsehoods often enough and people believe them, even if you originally mean them as a well-intentioned and obvious joke

I built an open source app a while back that had some similar functionality to sleep as android called “Go to Sleep”. Haven’t updated it for a long time, always wanted to add more things

battery fires are not at all common in electric vehicles. this is propaganda

your links are broken I think

really rough to use honestly. I’d rather use non-FOSS (on shape) while I wait for this to hit the “blender inflection point” and actually get good.

plus, it isn’t like this isn’t exactly like adding another “door” to the “systemd building”. It’s a modular component of systemd, so more akin to replacing the sudo building with a new, but still separate, systemd sudo building

love fly.io

fun fact, lemdro.id is hosted entirely on fly.io

you’re looking for “Instander”! I went on a quest for this myself awhile back

Man, wtf. If Starlink is shut down in areas Russia already controls (it largely is), then what is the problem???

Starlink doesn’t have fine control over what they can turn off, the world is separated into “cells”. Starlink can’t broadly turn off Starlink for ONLY Russians on the battle lines, it would affect Ukrainians too

Look, I don’t know if you’re being intentionally obtuse here, but not all areas are black and white. There is ambiguity in the world, particularly in battlefields. This feels a bit like a bad faith argument

I have no clue how you’re coming to that conclusion. Starlink blanket blocked access from Crimea. Regardless of whether that was right or wrong, this doesn’t prove that Starlink knows where Russian and Ukrainian troops, can track the battle line, and precisely turn off access based on that geographic area

I feel like you are fundamentally misunderstanding me. Battle lines are not static or cut and dry. Neither militaries KNOW exactly where the enemy is. It isn’t that simple

No. What I’m saying is that due to the fast-shifting geographic nature of a battlefront, and the lack of organization in where the user terminals have come from: (A) Starlink would have a hard time keeping up with a precise map (and would be prone to errors, and would need exact operational data) (B) Ukraine doesn’t completely KNOW what terminals are theirs

So a geographic location block would be a hindrance for Ukrainian troops when trying to advance, and potentially dangerous when Russians advance into Ukrainian territory. Boundaries would constantly need to be redrawn, requiring exact knowledge of what is happening. Which for obvious reasons should not be shared

Starlink terminals in Ukraine didn’t come from one source. some have been donated by orgs in the US and other countries, some the government, some SpaceX themselves. Ukraine almost certainly doesn’t have full knowledge of all the Starlink terminals it possesses. This isn’t an ideal environment

On an active battlefront these territories aren’t strictly defined or are changing quickly. With that methodology if Ukrainian advanced too quickly into what was previously Russian territory, bam - Starlink stops working. That seems undesirable

that doesn’t seem to support your assertion. blocking terminals in a specific geographic location (crimea) doesn’t explain how to tell apart two sides using terminals in the same geographic area

I don’t think that’s where the problem I’m raising is. Think about an active confrontation area where both sides have Starlink. How do you tell which to turn off in this case? Ideally Ukraine would be using starshield and then Starlink can be turned off entirely
