Whaaaaat? Y posted something misleading? Do you think this person might be biased?

They probably aren’t insured at all. These aren’t billion dollar satellites, so they’re probably just launched at risk.

Look, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt here in assuming you’re asking that question honestly and not trying to start a debate about whether or not this dishonest nature of the comment constitutes a lie.

So why was she protesting the building of a wind farm a few weeks ago?

I find it funny how her protesting something hugely beneficial was met with general silence.

The comment is set up to try and make Greta appear hypocritical. She’s supposed to be an environmentalist and she’s protesting wind farms? The comment goes on to extrapolate that to the entire environmentalist community being hypocrites because the protest “was met with general silence”.

What it leaves out is the context of the protest, which had absolutely nothing to do with the windmill, but rather the development of land use by peoples who don’t have the political power to prevent it.

It’s akin to you protesting a children’s hospital being put in your backyard and then being accused of hating sick children.

In other comments, OP says “I work in the industry and windmills aren’t a problem”, blah, blah, blah. This purposely misses the point that the problem is development of these people’s land against their will, whether it be a windmill or a Walmart. You can be an environmentalist who is pro windfarm and still have an issue with exploiting people, even if that exploitation is to put up wind farms.

To be more blunt, the comment was an outright mischaracterization, and if not out of ignorance, then a pure lie. Typical bullshit used to discredit people offhand.

Same thing in Arizona. No excuse needed, anyone can get a mail in ballot. Let’s you sit on your couch and do research while you fill out it. When you’re ready, just put it in the mailbox.

Now that I live in Texas, I miss that system a ton.

Both open and closed source software share this problem, so this doesn’t really answer the question.

Lemmy drag Deez nuts across your face?

I’ve got about a decade on arch. Just never saw a compelling reason to switch once I hit it. Now it’s on my laptop and 4 raspberry Pi’s around the house. It’ll be on my gaming rig as soon as I get around to ditching windows.
