  • Yeah I think that comes from them promising to move away from the “holy trinity” early on. That lead to people just wanting to do everything at once. Originally the concept of not having the three roles sounded good, but the implementation sucked. Melding everything into one role is not the way to go about it. I’d rather see it closer to GW1 where there were non-standard mmo roles like the original mesmer.








  • I do wonder how much the average people commenting would care if musk had nothing to do with this.

    It’s an issue, but it’s an issue scientists knew was coming for decades now. Starlink isn’t the only company putting satellites into low earth orbit. They aren’t the first and the amount of them will just keep coming.

    What we need is regulations and requirements for how many, what purpose, how they’ll be dealt with if something goes wrong and when they’re no longer needed, etc. Getting people to share satellites that are already there (when possible) and not putting up satellites that are redundant or don’t provide that much benefit versus non-satellite options or further orbit options will be important.

    But all these mindless circlejerkers only talking about musk and wanting starlink “taken down” are really polluting the topic with meaningless bullshit. It’s unfortunate people are bringing these mindless circlejerks over from reddit.




  • That would kill small instances though, definitely personal ones for those who want to run their own. Once places like lemmy and kbin get big enough there is no way they’re going to go through and hand-federate every tiny new instance that pops up. There’d be no way to tell which ones are personal and which ones would be used for manipulation?





  • As bad as this may seem, and not to try to downplay it, this seems like a good time to remind people that this kind of vulnerability isn’t limited to cars charging at public spaces. Any time you connect devices to anything in a space you don’t control, you’re vulnerable. That goes for public wifis (many of which are just businesses farming your data + hacker risks), and public charging stations that could have compromised chargers with malware.
