Publicity will be off the charts for any future efforts by Oceangate, Inc.

Investments and volunteers will be the main challenges.

This is my favorite part of the article:

Söhnlein said the Titan passengers' deaths shouldn't stop humans from continuing to investigate carbon fiber hulled submersibles as a way to reach the bottom of the ocean.

"Forget OceanGate. Forget Titan. Forget Stockton. Humanity could be on the verge of a big breakthrough and not take advantage of it because we, as a species, are gonna get shut down and pushed back into the status quo," he said.

Those two sentences really highlight how crazy this guy is.

It would be nearly impossible to mine ore from the surface. We don't have the technology to keep something functional on the surface for more than a few minutes before it melts. A planet where you can't access/visit the surface doesn't seem like a good planet for humans to live.

I read somewhere that there was a general Lemmy bug with Hot and/or Active not refreshing without a server reset. I've heard people say that Best 6 or 12 hours is the best for now.

I lost track, but I assumed this was already part of the mishandled documents case. We've heard so much about this recording already, I didn't realize that he hadn't already been charged for this.

But unfortunately not stupid enough to actually testify.

There's no way he would testify in any court proceeding where he doesn't have to. This is just public bluster like always. It seems like the only good advice he takes from his lawyers is to avoid testifying to anything under oath.

Do you know if there are any formats that provide for native looping like gif? I find that feature useful for some standalone files.

In a trial, the prosecution goes first and presents their full case. Then the defense gets their turn to refute anything presented by the prosecution. Even if he pleads the 5th, his lawyers will do their best to refute any presented earlier by the prosecution.

I ran a few things on an Odroid for years, which is like a Pi, and I wanted to upgrade. I shopped for an SBC with more RAM and found the prices getting high pretty quickly. I went with a mini PC made by Beelink- and have been very happy. There are many price points, based on RAM and drive: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=bee+link+pc

Aside from getting much more memory and storage for your money, I much prefer this hardware over an SBC because I can use any normal distro. With the Odroid I was stuck with the distros provided by the vendor.

Was the chief justice of the district court involved with the overruling that occured with her previous decision? The language in the ruling seemed pretty harsh towards her, but I'm not clear if the opinions of higher courts have any affect on her career. I don't know much about the legal system, but it seems like Federal judges don't have anything to worry about other than impeachment, which is next to impossible.

How would she be removed? Who would decide that?
