We need a new Carl Sagan. We are long overdue a 2nd edition of The Demon-Haunted World ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Demon-Haunted_World )

Yeahp, a "regular" Leica M (Typ 240) is already 💰💰. Nevermind all the custom branding (custom edition?) + custom lens. Let me guess, £5k? Maybe even more?

You can run 𝚐𝚒𝚝 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚒𝚝 -𝚜 and join the fun side of the Force 🤓😎. Next, try a slightly more complex step: sign a commit or release tag with PGP :).

I’m pretty sure you’re pulling my leg about the April Fool’s joke (come on, they even added a Rickrolling link to the repo). Still, as LinkedIn has often proved to me, there’s always a percentage of people who take everything at face value.
So, for anyone thinking the Scala compiler is actually being rewritten in Go:

I know that posting on Mastodon is sacrilege in the minds of many "𝗡𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗿 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆!!!" folks (I accept my excommunication from their very prestigious club), but I think this is just as useful for Nostriches about to turn on their TVs or use social media today.
So, here’s a second GM message today adapted from the original.
Good morning, Nostr (or whatever time it is when you receive this message).
Here’s a "grounding" and reality-affirmation message for whenever you're about to watch the news or scroll through proprietary social media:
𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹
𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻
𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹
𝗡𝗼, 𝗜'𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘇𝘆
𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹
Yes, I know I sound more like a new-age guru than a techie. It is what it is.

Lol, no AI help coming up with the list above. This is not LinkedIn 🤣. To be fair, I already sounded like ChatGPT way before it was invented (minus the em dashes) hehehe.
And I disagree. I find knowing where a hurricane is, getting a heads up if a tsunami or wildfire is likely going to reach my house, or even knowing how the latest oil spill is spreading all pretty useful information. Also, I don’t want to send humanity 100+ years back in fields like astronomy.
Satellites are just tools. If humans choose a model of surveillance and centralised control, that’s on us, not the satellites. It’s hard to make decentralised alternatives work given current prices and incentives, but fundamentally there’s nothing stopping a Nostr-equivalent for satellites.

Elon sad noises... Ok, I'll bite the shitposting trap 🤣
Satellites are vital for scientific research in certain fields, as well as for defense, disaster management, space exploration, navigation, and even some valid cases of communication. We certainly don’t need a satellite constellation as massive as Starlink, companies are using satellite-based internet as a crutch instead of developing proper infrastructure.
That said, we do need alternatives to GPS that aren’t controlled by a single country. So... maybe drastically reduce the US and Musk’s stake in the game? Getting rid of satellites entirely would set back human development. Getting rid of some of Musk’s satellites might actually be a good idea, considering the amount of space junk they’re creating for very little value.
