I don’t think PieFed has mobile apps yet, but I believe they’re planning on forking Thunder for Lemmy.

Even if simply the arms presence causes the lander to land upright, I would argue that the arm is still “needed” :)

it’s very likely they are not doing this in good faith

If they aren’t doing it in good faith, I wonder what faith they are doing it in. They can’t just hate Lemmy for no reason. Are they opposed to the political leanings of the developers? Do they just really love u/spez?

IPO any day now! :)

Good job, everyone! Lots of disinformation about Lemmy debunked. I hope Redditors read the comments as well as the post.

Would you be open to consolidating !autohotkey@sh.itjust.works and !ahk@programming.dev?

Big thanks to @MaelGuerra@lemmy.world and @Arthur@literature.cafe for their assistance!

The headline is a bit brief. A longer headline would be something like “Starship fails for the second time in a row, in a nearly identical failure mode as the previous flight”.

There was incremental progress throughout the first six flights, but since switching to Ship version 2, they’ve had difficulties with harmonic oscillations damaging the propellant plumbing.

• Flight 1: Made it off the pad.
• Flight 2: Made it to staging.
• Flight 3: Made it to reentry.
• Flight 4: Made it to splashdown.
• Flight 5: First booster catch.
• Flight 6: First zero-g raptor relight.
• Flight 7 and 8: Successful booster catches, ship RUD on ascent.

With more launch, the price per rocket should decrease

Should it? Are you referring to amortizing the costs of development, or optimizing the production cost of each rocket? No portion of Ariane 6 is reusable, so it’s not like they can get more launches out of each rocket…

Ah, I see. So we might not quite be at 50k, but we’re pretty close.

With Reddit’s 1.1B MAU, that puts us at… 0.0045%? It’s not much, but we’re growing!

Would a drop even be visible? Reddit has 1.1B MAU.

Interesting to get some alternate perspectives from one of the most successful (relatively speaking) non-fediverse Reddit alternatives. It could provide insight into where Lemmy could improve.

I don’t think it’s worth spending effort convincing them to switch to Lemmy, though. They’re happy where they are. Convincing Reddit users to switch is a much more effective use of our efforts.

Lemmy gained over 2000 new users in the past two weeks, which is ~10x Discuit’s MAU.

Edit: Possibly not actually 2000, as there is a discrepancy between the stats on join-lemmy.org and fediverse.observer. Still likely in the high hundreds, though.

if someone isn’t linking in the right format, I’ll be kicked out of my instance and suddenly I can’t comment anymore

there’s probably browser extensions to help

Indeed, there are. You want Violentmonkey + Lemmy Universal Link Switcher. Best way to avoid accidentally leaving your home instance.

Lemmy Universal Link Switcher, or LULs for short, scans all links on all websites, and if any link points to a Lemmy instance that is not your main/home instance, it rewrites the link so that it instead points to your main instance.

the absurdity of this posts gives me an idea to basically write a satirical reddit post that explains all the wonderful aspects of Lemmy as if it’s somehow an issue

I think this an excellent idea! You’ve already got some good material going.

“Hang on, that’s not Alan, that’s Steve, innit?”

RIP Skittle.

Huh, TIL about Google’s Emoji Kitchen.

Does capslock work for the !@#$%^&*() row? I don’t think it does on my keyboard.

I found a few, none active, but some which could be consolidated or revived.

• !bestupdates@lemmy.world (mostly reposts from Reddit)
• !bestofuserupdates@lemmy.world (consolidated with the above)
• !best_of_post_updates@lemmy.world (should be consolidated with the above)
• !bestoflemmyupdates@lemmy.world (Probably the best option, could likely be revived)

Wow, we hit the 50k mark faster than I expected. Onward to 60k?
