No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are datacenters in space more lucrative than on earth?
6·2 days agoThey shouldn’t be.
Space, especially LEO, is cluttered with way the hell too much garbage already.
Nobody should be allowed to put garbage up there for no benefit beyond CEO pocket lining.
Every single space mission should be carefully considered as a resource usage. Every object left behind in orbit should be scrutinized ten times as closely.

Apparrently you can’t even read articles without an account now. Way to make yourself even less relevant.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Albertans can pay for MRIs and other tests without a doctor's referral, as of Friday
1·3 days agoImplementation of healthcare is provincial. It is still required to obey the Canada Health Act. Smith and her fascist government are wildly ignoring it, and the federal Liberals are…doing nothing. Signing MOUs on pipelines.
Make no mistake - the at-fault party here is 100% the UCP under Smith (and Kenney before that - never forget that Kenney was instrumental in fucking over Alberta); but the feds have a clear legal responsibility that they’re ignoring. My Liberal MP is spending all of his energy decrying Alberta separatism, without actually acknowledging what his government should be doing about it. (In fact, he’s as completely inaccessible as the Conservative MP before him ever was. In other words, they both fucking suck.)
Running Windows apps “natively” is impossible, by definition.
That said, I could imagine a kernel module that ran everything Windows in a microContainer like Kata. More likely would be to have Windows executables intercepted and run under Wine.
It’s an interesting question.

18·5 days agoI understand this, but that means those who can’t throw two grand at the problem end up suffering or dead.
Two-tier healthcare inherently means that rich people are more deserving of life.

31·5 days agoLet’s replace the headline.
“Rich Albertans can get whatever medical tests they want, at the expense of basic healthcare for others.”

Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney says he 'should have been clearer' about new Gordie Howe bridge agreement
21·9 days agoAnd by ‘clearer,’ he apparently means ‘honest.’
Maybe - just maybe - you’re being downvoted for being a ragebaiting asshole.

Swordgeek@lemmy.catoShitty Ask Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Instead of going on a crime spree and becoming a genocidal dictator, why didn't he just sit home and count money?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do older files tend to have file extensions in all caps?
21·10 days agoWorth mentioning that this wasn’t a problem on other systems. Unix had long, case-sensitive names before DOS existed.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Microsoft has billions of dollars and thousands of people. So why is Windows still worse than Linux ?
1·9 days agoBecauae making a good product is not their goal, and never was.
MS exists to monetize their products, or in other words extract maximum profit. When they were an underdog or competitor (Win 3.1 era), making a better product was the primary way to beat Apple et al.
But now they rely in integration/lock-in of their ecosystem, and making their products better will not increase their market share. That means improving their products is against their financial interests.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Netflix is the Google of streaming platforms: They cancel their shows quickly, much like Google does with its services.
41·15 days agoNah, spotify is like google for streaming: shitty, abusive, monopolistic, evil, and unrepentant.








You REALLY seem to be working hard to defend a group you hadn’t heard of.
And you are consistently ignoring the fact that this group exists only to fundraise for a cruel, dangerous, anti-science cult.
