Reading between the lines here, the way I interpret this is that they're basically doing this to send the message directly to X staff: "We think our actual drop in views is because you've altered your algorithm to de-prioritize our posts, but we have no direct proof of that so we're just going to take our ball and go home and tell everyone else it's because it's just not worth it anymore."

That may be pure speculation on my part, but the subtext seemed clear to me.

You have a choice - unfettered anonymity with free speech or proven identity with responsibility. We always try (to varying degrees) to have it both ways, but it is not possible. They are mutually exclusive.

If you don't have proof of identity, you get disinformation, propaganda, and fraud. If you do, you have the government and businesses putting you under a microscope.

There is no solution to this issue.

Comment Windows 11 RAM requirements (Score 2) 113

The OS is bloated with things you will likely never use, and the apps are ever-more frequently bloated themselves, running in inefficient Edge Webview processes.

If you want to have more than a couple of things running in Windows 11 and want to be sure it'll run smoothly, you're wise to target 32 GB now with a 512 GB SSD. If you know what you're doing and are willing to spend a lot of time ripping out the unnecessary parts you can get it to run with 4 GB of RAM, but even at today's elevated memory pricing it's not worth the effort.

I'd be terrified from the moment I was selected all the way until I was back on Earth, but I think I'd have trouble refusing the opportunity to be the on-site tech for a mission like this.

Give me a handful of space-rated USB flash drives with my favorite reference materials and utilities, a diaper and a barf bag, and I'm there. Maybe a large bottle of gravol and some stimulants to counteract the drowsiness. ...And I would never talk about the diaper or barf bag.
