Oh god I redid the math on re-entries:

Each Starlink v2 sat weighs 1250kg. They plan to have 42,000 of them in orbit.

Each satellite has a planned lifetime of 5 years. That means they'll be de-orbiting and replacing ALL of them every 5 years.

That comes to 23 sats per day, which is 29 TONS OF SATELLITE every day.

It doesn't go away, it gets added to the upper atmosphere. Most of the mass is aluminum. What the hell is that going to do?

#QElon keeps pushing this account, “The Rabbit Hole” so I went to look at their Substack. You may be shocked to learn that the entire thing is about protecting white people from racism.

This is gross. #Adobe seems to have opted everyone into a process that automatically ingests images into their machine learning system. You have to opt-out and you can't do that through the apps.

Here's how you can. Go to:

Then, turn off the "Content analysis" option.

If you're not familiar with #DarkPatterns this is one.

Added some new Mastodon monitoring infrastructure for discuss.systems.

Sure, every good #MastoAdmin has a cool Grafana dashboard, but we're going a bit more old school here...

For scale, Congress' appropriation allocates as much in direct lethal aid assistance to #Ukraine for the whole of 2023 as Elon Musk lost in personal wealth on *checks notes* Tuesday.
