Personal EVs are not a solution. We need less cars overall, not replace combustion with EV. EVs still significantly contribute to pollution, noise and car-centered infrastructure. EVs are just the car industry’s way of continuing business as usual without changing anything and is not environmentally friendly.

The only solution is more and better public infrastructure, more bikes and walkable cities, where the important things are either close by or sufficiently accessible by public transport.

Free speech isn’t a constitutional right in Australia

https://humanrights.gov.au/our-work/rights-and-freedoms/freedom-information-opinion-and-expression

I am not very well versed in Australian law, but this indicates to me that free speech is indeed protected in Australia.

Lauren Southern was banned from the UK?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Southern

She’s a far-right racist conspiracy theorist nutjob who was denied entry into the UK for spewing hatred. Her right to express herself ends where other people’s rights for freedom, health and safety begin.

In the UK, free speech is not possible either. See D-notices, and later super-injunctions to stop media and individuals reporting on facts.

Please provide examples.

this repo has this license, which doesn’t seem to be like GPL/MIT or whatever?

The license seems to be the 3 Clause BSD license. https://opensource.org/license/BSD-3-clause

Here’s some information regarding compatibility between this license and MIT/GPL: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/11345

The value of the material is that it already is in space. Getting stuff into orbit is incredibly costly. Parking an asteroid in orbit would allow us to mine it and then fabricate space installations on the asteroid and/or using materials from it.

A reviewer once remarked that I’m not worthy of being in my field of study. I’m so much happier since I left academy behind. I obviously love science, but fuck the current culture and people that enable and encourage such behaviour.

Agreed, their software is utter garbage.
There’s the Onboard Memory Manager though, which does everything you would ever want without the gloss, bullshit and bugs:

Sicherheitstheater ja, aber der Vergleich hinkt.

Das ist in etwa so, als würdest du die Effektivität von Supermarktkassen anzweifeln, wenn man mit den Einkäufen auch einfach durch den Notausgang das Gebäude verlassen kann.

Der Notausgang ist aber in der Regel alarmgesichert, so dass Mitarbeiter das auch mitbekommen.

Und ein Zaun beim Flughafen hat keine Kameras oder Bewegungsmelder?

Ich habe ne Zeit lang neben des Studiums Führungen unter anderem in einer Ausstellung gemacht, die globale Erwärmung, Gletscherschmelze und ähnliches abdeckt. Die kognitive Dissonanz von Touristen, die gerade mit dem Flieger oder Kreuzfahrtschiff angekommen sind und dann die Auswirkungen von zu hohem CO2-Ausstoss beklagen, ist nicht zu überbieten.
