  • on point 3, long distance communication invariably uses highly directional antennas, which means these need to be aimed precisely, which means special automated gimballed antenna set that would drop signal anyway probably

    also you definitely don’t want to deal with rotating gas seal that is also under pressure and fail-deadly, these already wear out quickly with sporadic use on earth. if there are two sections, one spinning and one not, both would have to be sealed










  • there was chrome (and firefox probably?) extension that went through your all fb liked pages and unsubscribed from them so that when it’s done timeline is gone entirely. fb went after its dev, removed that extension and banned him forever because it kept people off fb https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-bans-unfollow-everything-developer-delete-news-feed-2021-10 doing this all manually still worked back then, not sure about today

    Facebook’s letter took him by surprise, he said, adding that Unfollow Everything had only 2,500 weekly active users and 10,000 downloads.

    “It was definitely growing, but it wasn’t huge,” he said.

    “Apart from that I just very much saw it as something that improves the Facebook experience for Facebook users,” he added, saying he got “amazing feedback” from people saying they “were using Facebook in a way that was much healthier for them.”

  • right, let’s see… they propped up unpopular (some 70% iranians oppose islamic republic rule, source), authoritarian, religious minority rule (only 32% iranians reported to be shia in 2020 survey, so before 2022 protests, it might be even less today), that was in a constant state of crisis and when president nho dinh diem got couped and killed, people danced on the streets (iranians burned down mosques and statue of soleimani during january protests). yeah, maybe iran is like vietnam after all, to be more specific like south vietnam during buddhist crisis

    i don’t think that regular iranian population, that protested every year in almost decade and these protests were all met with crackdowns, mostly deadly, would like to see islamic republic rule to continue. neither i have heard anything about ground invasion, so all you’ve got out there is couple of pilots (officers) in the air and some more on ships
