They were talking about this years ago and I haven’t heard anything on it in a while. Is it still even a project they’re working on? Also, what would be the environmental problems with this? I remember reading at one point about submarine power cables potentially causing issues with marine animals because of EMF, but I don’t think that was any kind of conclusive study.
The one I always find funny is tech CEOs or ads out there that use the term “quantum leap” to describe an improvement. In reality, a quantum leap is just when an electron changes orbitals – one of the smallest movements a piece of matter can make. In my mind, a device being described as a “quantum leap” ahead of it’s predecessor sounds like it’s barely changed at all. Even better is the state is often temporary as electrons jump up an orbital when absorbing energy and then will jump back down when they release it. All in all, a terrible marketing term.
It’s the 5th most hit site globally, it’s going nowhere.
Currently chatting with the other mods about this and while we don’t want the community to be overrun by Elon, the articles are some of the most upvoted in the past few days. It seems, that people do want to hear about what’s going on but not at a rate that drowns out other content. We’ve been careful to prune out duplicates to keep the flow down, but the volume of Elon posts and Twitter / X is definitely… a lot. I do see how some find it annoying so we’re keeping an eye on the situation, but I do agree it does meet the criteria of being both news and tech related. I assume that he’ll eventually run out of Twitter pieces to break, right :P
Please do keep an open line of communication with us and all replies, feedback and opinions are always welcome! Cheers!
Time to get those Lemmy accounts going everyone!
If you’re having trouble getting started or figuring out anything on Lemmy, feel free to ask as we’re all still somewhat new to it and are happy to figure it all out together.
Same, would have definitely checked them out. Sounds like they did a really bad job at getting the word out there that they even existed.
I’ve been using duckduckgo instead of Google for a few years now and love it. I’ve gotten used to the shortcuts in it now and probably couldn’t go back if I wanted to haha
