You’re thinking backwards. Building colonies on the moon and ultimately Mars would require science investment in recycling materials, air, waste, oxygen, etc. Do you not see the potential benefits of that on earth?

These projects provide vast investments in science here on earth, including creating jobs for the scientific community worldwide. Do you not see the potential benefits of that?

NASA’s budget is miniscule compared to how much you Americans pay for your wars. Iran has already blown through NASA’s total budget for the Artemis programme (which began over a decade ago), in a war that’s been going on for 2 months.

Nobody in NASA or the space community seriously believes in plans to colonise Mars to terraform it. If we could do that, we’d be technologically capable of fixing our own planet.

We wouldn’t have gotten microwaves in the 20th century if we hadn’t gone to the moon.

Stop these pessimistic reductive takes. This is a huge step for humanity to be visiting the moon again.

Maybe consider reading the article before commenting a basic question about said article? What is with this community, honestly…

Lemmy user melts down over headline buzzwords.

AV1 is right there. One has to wonder why all the device manufacturers rushed to implement HEVC but allowed AV1 to dillydally.

Please elaborate.

I disagree, I think it’s a distinctive design that until recently made it very obvious what brand it was.

Now other manufacturers have realised the extra space is beneficial for camera tech so they’re copying the large bar, and just look at the back of the iPhone 17!

Weirdly no news yet on the rumoured FaceID that was supposedly launching with the 11 series.

This is blogspam.

This Doomsday Draconian Demise of Android that everyone on Lemmy has been screaming about sure looks like it’s turning out to be one big nothingburger and just another minor annoyance that power users need to step through once in their life.

What will the Graphene pushers move to next? I predict the age verification stuff.

Congrats…

The “automatically create based on category” feature is meh, but being able to rearrange entire screens is a staple of custom launchers and it’s shocking that the Pixel launcher doesn’t have it. If you want to rearrange a window you have to delete everything and start fresh.

Pack it up lads, this guy doesn’t update his phone so let’s stop updating our phone software.

System-Provided Location Button: You can embed a secure, system-rendered location button via Jetpack. Tapping it grants your app precise location access for the current session only, without triggering a system dialog. Requires the USE_LOCATION_BUTTON permission.

This is pretty neat actually. For apps that I use semi frequently that require location, having to tap “just this time” is a minor annoyance that leads to people just giving full access. Having a button in WhatsApp, for example, so I can quickly share my location and trust that that permission is removed afterwards is pretty handy. Hope developers use it.

This is one of those features that make your wonder why it was never like this from the beginning. I’m very protective over which apps get this permission, so this is a positive step forward. I wish it was automatic, though, instead of being a new API that developers have to use.

Do you have evidence that Google sells users’ contacts to third parties without permission?

It’s in their best interests to continue the downward trend of education in the US. They literally forced children to say a pledge of allegiance every morning. US has been indoctrinating children for hundreds of years and the only thing stopping them continue that effort are liberal teachers.

Hurley was only on the island for 108 days before being rescued. As he said on the show “I’m a big guy, it’s gonna be a while before I lose a few notches”. 108 days isn’t a massive amount of time.

In season two he did hoard some food from The Hatch for himself, but then when the 2nd food drop came he ultimately gave it all away (served as part of his character arc). There was never a 3rd drop of food in the show.

This is just a silly meme it’s best not to judge the show from it. They don’t “keep making up excuses”.

Apologies, I was referencing a silly movie

Not in here, mister! This is a mercedes!

I love this news, but I wish we revisited the Liberal Democrats’ efforts in 2010 to insulate the existing housing stock. My mum’s 1970s house got loft insulation for free from the coalition government and it’s now so good at retaining heat.

I now live in a Victorian house that is extremely expensive to heat and I have to have windows/vents open to prevent damp. I wish we got free loft insulation…
