  • Yeah. It’s really sad that a lot of people on remote areas in the Amazon will be affected by a ban on starlink. They also spent quite a bit of money for Brazil’s standards on the equipment as well.

    Still, this shouldn’t be the reason to put anyone above the law, no one should be above a county’s law.

    If this actually happens it may really backfire on Elon and all companies he’s involved, at least in Brazil.

    As you invested your money in one of his companies products and now because of his massive ego/lack of mental stability you either lost support, functionality or access to parts (for maintenance of hardware) and I doubt any of his companies would pay their users for this inconvenience. This would make using any of the products he’s involved with too risky, better to just use a more “mentally stable” competitor even if the service or product is slightly worse.


  • I don’t know anything about this subject with the exception of a video I watched a while ago mentioning that most hydroponic startups end up failing because the cost is too high as you always need a specialist and you can only grow smaller plants/veggies there. This compared with traditional farms.

    Does this change that at all? I’m hoping it does as I’d love that hydroponics got much more financially viable as I honestly believe they’ll be our future considering global warming and pests as well.

    My suggestion is to put the Lemmy app in the exact location the other app was. So when the muscle memory kicks in you open the right app. I am impressed myself about how many times a day I used to open the other one. Now I’m here instead :)



  • Same for me. Lemmy still has some rough edges but even the apps that are available now are really good as they are. Improvements are happening at amazing speed. What we currently have is quite good in my opinion and this is the worst it will ever be, as we’ll have improvements on top of improvements, most apps and lemmy itself are open source, I believe that soon, instead of us feature pairing with reddit, it will be them trying to chase us up.





  • I’m still getting used to it. Not that bad, a bit slower and I believe we still have no video support. Still, I don’t intend to go back to reddit. I’m trying Memmy and Mlem apps interchangeably and I’m pretty happy with it. I need to participate more though, not just being s lurker. Hopefully saving stuff, checking what you liked, etc will be available soon. For the time the app devs had on this, what we’re getting is amazing. This will be in much better shape than reddit very soon.
