agree, how do you feel about shitlib?

If you find out how, let me know so I don’t need to block every fetish sub one at a time as they appear.

If only there was someone willing to speak about the state of infrastructure in this country.

Wow I really hate living here.

“cli proficient” depends entirely on what you are doing, other than extremely basic stuff like learning how to use coreutils, really you just gotta try and use it whenever you can to get used to it.

Yeah, switching to Lemmy 100% kinda had me going cold turkey, but that gave me moments to realize I had better things to do; I’ve already finished three books since the Reddit blackout started

Well there is at least Gliese 229B which was observed because it was in a solar system, but idk if that counts as a binary system technically

Did you know the Great Red Spot is shrinking? From Wikipedia:

In the 21st century, the Great Red Spot has been observed to be shrinking in size. At the start of 2004, its length was about half that of a century earlier, when it reached a size of 40,000 km (25,000 mi), about three times the diameter of Earth. At the present rate of reduction, it will become circular by 2040. It is not known how long the spot will last, or whether the change is a result of normal fluctuations.[12] In 2019, the Great Red Spot began “flaking” at its edge, with fragments of the storm breaking off and dissipating.[13] The shrinking and “flaking” fueled speculation from some astronomers that the Great Red Spot could dissipate within 20 years.[14] However, other astronomers believe that the apparent size of the Great Red Spot reflects its cloud coverage and not the size of the actual, underlying vortex, and they also believe that the flaking events can be explained by interactions with other cyclones or anticyclones, including incomplete absorptions of smaller systems; if this is the case, this would mean that the Great Red Spot is not in danger of dissipating.[15]

Considering the Great Dark Spot of Neptune has disappeared (other other dark storms have appeared), I think we are lucky enough to have observed such a massive storm on Jupiter for hundreds of years

Jupiter is a big boy, but still 20x less massive than the smallest observed brown dwarf. It’s a certified gas giant, but nowhere near a failed star.

Ehh, don’t mean to be that guy, but Jupiter is pretty far from being a brown dwarf, and I think all the planets formed at a similar time from proto-planetary dust and gas from the Sun’s accretion disk. Still an absolute titan of a planet though! Did you know that the Galilean moons have stabilized into a perfect 1:2:4 orbital period?

I’m pretty sure we’ve seen it before

arresting criminal politicians? We’re in a communist banana republic!

Would be funny if it wasn’t actual politicians saying this instead of just crazy people on facebook

Wow, what a large search area, I heard about the crash and rescue on my NPR news podcast, but I didn’t think the rescue operation was this large.

Right, the Communist militias in the Spanish Civil War were being influences by Soviet partisans or something. The Anarchist and Marxist militias, which Orwell served in, were of the people.

The One Flag For All Act ensures that the American Flag never gets sidelined for culture wars and political points

then:

Exemptions are made for: Prisoner of War (POW) flags

because obviously to virtue signal about the American military isn’t about scoring political points

Did you know that in 2019 the National POW/MIA Flag Act was signed into law, requiring the POW/MIA flag to be flown on certain federal properties, including the U.S. Capitol Building, on all days the U.S. flag is flown?

For some reason I think those will be included under “certain exceptions”

Disappointed but not surprised :/
