And isn't this the one people keep posting the dramatic headline without mentioning the damage only lasted until sunrise?

The rise of megaconstellations are threatening the ozone layer’s recovery | Space

Concentrations of ozone-damaging aluminum oxides in Earth's atmosphere could increase by 650% in the coming decades due to a rise in the number of defunct satellites burning up during reentry, a first-of-a-kind study has found. And, as satellite megaconstellations continue to pique the interests of private companies, this could be pretty bad news for our planet's protective shield known as the ozone layer.

Thanks, Elon.

Remember what Space Karen did to twitter? That's what will happen to Earth if we don't stop this utter waste of DNA.

How angry can you be for someone ruining your favourite site that happened years ago

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I've never used twitter, or registered, and never would even if Space Karen sold it. I was just ripping on one of histories most idiotic individuals.

It was also already gone to shit before Elon took over. Jack did most of the damage to Twitter and he's why I never signed up for bluesky.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Lol, interesting take. I missed where Jack told his advertisers to go fuck themselves, and then sue them for not advertising.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm no Elon fan, it certainly got worse shortly after he took over. You're looking at Twitter through rose colored glasses if you think the last half of Jack's Twitter run was anything but a disaster

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I've never been a fan, but Elon quickly turned it into truth social 2.0.

Twitter has always been a toxic shit hole IMO.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Doesn’t detract from space Karen’s incompetence.

Right... So what did this idiot do to twitter that was apparently so bad that wasn't before?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Now with 99% more fascism! Plus you get a free Adolf doll when you sign up 2 "friends".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And could this facism be just a consequence of allowing more kinds of people on the platform and censoring less? In other words, that more freedom automatically brings more facism to the table?

I'm not trying to corner you or anything but I am wondering how and why things suddenly changed to seemingly a lot of people.

No moderation, 'free speech', and all the dog whistles you could ever want to court the fascist bros. Basically everyone who acts like Ketamine Karen is welcome and no one else.

I don't really know what group you're talking about here... The "facists"?

But who is not welkom that does not act like a ketamine karen? Did anyone get banned?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Reporters and comedians got banned and anyone that made fun of Karen. Anyone he perceives as woke & lib is his target because he is a 4th grader who thinks he is a genius.
