The moon has just a little bit more speed than the Earth can hold onto

Unfortunately that’s not how orbital mechanics works :(

If the moon had instantaneously more speed than the earth can hold onto (e.g. more centrifugal ‘force’ than balanced by the gravitational force), the moon will accelerate up, until the forces become balanced. This makes a elliptical orbit, like this:

Apparently the reason the moon is getting further away is that it’s gaining energy from earth’s tides

anyway you should play ksp

Honestly build quality matters more than specs if you’re not gaming in my opinion, that’s why old thinkpads are so popular

I personally got burned by a shitty modern laptop because I only looked at the specs and nothing else

I’m talking about things like:

• chassis sturdiness
• laptop foot grippiness
• hinge quality
• touchpad quality/has trackpoint
• battery longevity (very important)
• display colour accuracy/viewing angles
• keyboard tactility/travel/flex

These things are harder to research but they’re imo way more important than specs

”I’m a good person guys"

It’s really disappointing seeing Russian contributors being disrespected like this, the regime that rules Russia wasn’t entirely their fault, and allegiance, nationality, and ethnicity are all clearly different things

Also, wouldn’t a state sponsored Russian hacker pretend to be from the US or something anyway? No way they’d contribute code as a Russian, that’d just increase others’ suspicion

I agree with Linus a lot too but I strongly disagree here. I hope he’s just being made to say this because of government policies

except when your government pays full price for it and sells it off to a company for a tiny bit of money so they can make money with tolls

imo word censoring should be reserved for the most disgusting words like mic*osoft

kde connect and syncthing both just work, and it’s amazing

this is very well done
