For what it's worth, I've heard that there's a major update coming this month sometime for Kbin, first in a while, so it might get a lot better (with the expected new bugs to chase). On desktop it's been mostly okay with the occasional glitches, but the real question that is hard to measure is how much is getting in and out from the fediverse properly. Hard to have a baseline when all the software is beta at best.

I'm in the same school of thought of not dismissing things that would actually change many of the problematic issues that all have contributed their part to create the predicament we find ourselves in. If it's not just another greenwashing to profit off climate change awareness, then let's do it.
But it is a predicament. While I think we should do everything constructive to stop damaging the environment, I don't think this with the illusion that there are solutions, but just that we should do the right things regardless of their effectiveness.
The logic follows real behavior. Just fed the cats, they've walked away from the leftover food and in cleaning mode. Open some unrelated container...cats are back in the kitchen expecting something.
I didn't see mention of what allowable ceiling of flight this is for, still below 400 feet? I would expect there will be regular flight paths established to specific urgent delivery customers (like hospitals) rather than just any package.
That's not even realistic. I know that Starfield isn't meant to be a simulator, but if you put in something to try and be "real", you should do it right. Gravity would affect the weight of something, but the inertia is still the same. Moving and stopping a big object in space with no gravity at all is still hard to do.
It doesn't feel legal. A bookmark is textual data you've stored on your computer for later reference, and while it is on their application, somehow this feels wrong. It's definitely wrong ethically, but is there something in the user agreement that says they have full reign of whatever the browser can touch?
Most people will read the first part of the highlighted subtitle and move on to the next social media thing thinking, see, it's pretty much over now. It's never going to be over, it's just not quite as bad as it was when we didn't have anything to fight back with. "Still more dangerous than the flu" should be highlighted as well, and while it's not a huge percentage people do die from the flu, and the actual flu (not the cold that people think is the flu) is nasty to get even if you aren't at risk of dying.
We continue to do everything either wrong, or barely minimum to say we're doing anything. Any wonder why so many are sick with persistent symptoms? (but have to get back to ~~spreading it more~~ work anyway because America and The Economy)
I've seen the classic B-movie "Battle Beyond the Stars" mentioned as comparison to the plot. But that's okay, as "bad" as that movie was, it was still a fun ride and I hope this one does okay.
Unless you use a VPN/browser security addons (don't know which breaks it). The "register your device" has never stuck for me. But it's not a big deal even then, just another step as long as there are a few options to choose in case one method isn't possible at the time. The "are you a robot" ones though...I really need to get a bot to solve the ones that still pop up for me (definitely VPN).
People are people. Changing infrastructure isn't going to make it different, only the ability to perhaps filter it better.
TNG, Voyager, or even ironically Strange New Worlds episodes would have failed badly in the 60s because they showed progression that was far out of range of that time. A "real" glimpse at a Star Trek universe would probably upset a lot of people now because it would be so different. While it's a show about optimism for the future and betterment of society, it is still a show that has to cater to the present audience.
It's like looking back at older books or shows and critiquing their ethics and language based on today's standards. Not a very fair assessment, especially if you use a few "infractions" to toss out the good parts.
The thing about not calling attention to things in the show is Gene's "show don't tell" philosophy. He believed the audience was smarter than the networks gave credit.
