Unless FTL travel is significantly faster than light, it’s usefulness would be limited. Kepler-452 is located about 1,800 light-years from Earth, which means it would take light 1,800 years to travel that distance. Even if our theoritical FTL travel was twice as fast as light, it would still take us 900 years to get there…

Once we get there, it is still unlikely that the planet would be habitable for humans. Quoting Wikipedia:

However, it is unknown if it is entirely habitable, as it is receiving slightly more energy than Earth and could be subjected to a runaway greenhouse effect.

There are closer exoplanets (closest one we know about is Proxima Centauri b), but even those are likely to be poorly suited for humans since we evolved to live specifically on Earth.

Where would we go? We don’t know of any other planets that we could easily live on.

Lemmy doesn’t even have ads. If you’re that paranoid why even bother commenting on anything?

Yes it has actually.

DevOps.

I don’t get sim-racing. Even an expensive setup doesn’t feel anywhere close to real driving.

Keep at it. My self-hosting passion is what eventually got me into a successful career.

Only half of that is actually about reading. The rest is just showing off.

I am starting to become more interested in coffee, but even so I don’t think I want to put this much effort into my coffee. Coffee gives me energy, so it can’t be too difficult.

I think the major difference is that USB-C is a much more mature standard than Matter. But even then it’s not perfect.

The episode with almost no dialogue is particularly brilliant.

Despite not liking most of the last season, I agree that episode is brilliant. I did not even notice there wasn’t any dialogue while watching it, I was that captivated.

First season is the best, it actually gets much worse after that. Shows tries extra hard to be edgy, graphic and “weird”. It also becomes less and less about hacking, which was the most interesting part of the show.

You’re going to boycott half the US?

It’s definitely not a law. Codifying this in law could stiffle innovation.

Let’s not pretend open source smart homes are perfect either. I hve immense respect for the Home Assistant project, but making it all work seamlessly is a nearly impossible task.

Movies lied to me.

What difference does it make?

Is he not very good at the game? Usually when people complain about FTL RNG they are new to the game or just bad. I mean no offense, I’m a bad player too but most FTL streamers I’ve seen can beat the game quite consistently.

Sounds like me. I signed up to Twitter in 2010 but practically never used it. The short message format never appealed to me and I always thought it was dumb. The heavy focus on politics also put me off.

However if Mastodon is interesting I’m willing to give it a try! Do most people use it anonymously or with their real names?
