SpaceX biggest competitor is NASA/JPL Musk guts NASA

[-] nooneescapesthelaw@mander.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

How is NASA a competitor to SpaceX?

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 1 year ago

Because we live in clown world

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

They both shoot rockets up in the sky. Our government could pay NASA to do it, or pay Space X.

[-] nooneescapesthelaw@mander.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

NASA does not build it's own rockets (anymore) they make the payloads. NASA will never make rockets as good/cheap as a companies like ULA and SpaceX.

Take a look at the cluster fuck that is the SLS if you want an example

->Musk's team launches the most expensive firework ever blowing up and disrupting air traffic and destroying the environment again for the eighth time

WHY ARE THEIR ROCKETS NOT EXPLODING!!?

— Rocket X. Hitler

[-] eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz 26 points 1 year ago

I might actually gain a tiny, minuscule bit of respect for him if he officially changes his name to Rocket Hitler

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 year ago

I want more Kung Fury and I want him fighting Rocket X. Hitler III

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

I was about to correct you and tell you the Evil Council was French, but that's Kung Pow, not Kung Furry, and I'm a dumb.

It would be cool if sabotage is happening... Adjust a hydrogen valve here and there, change a few timing parameters to the right amount and watch the 4th of July in may! And of course... Make it look like an accident.

Competition for thee but not for me.

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 67 points 1 year ago

Let Apple rain Terror on this damn Nazi.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 66 points 1 year ago

It certainly is a weird timeline when Apple is the good guy.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of March 24 to November 10, 2001, when Apple had embraced Unix and -- to some extent -- open source by releasing OS X, but had not yet pivoted towards glued-shut and DRM'd consumer electronics by releasing the iPod.

[-] Xatolos@reddthat.com 18 points 1 year ago

OSX was never really open sourced. If you tried compiling it, you'd have found it wouldn't work because it was incomplete.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Darwin was just their version of BSD which they released in order to comply with the license, but the actual Desktop/UI was a separate stack. You could build and install Darwin, but it wouldn’t do anything.

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah it was almost briefly cool. You could take apart and upgrade your own iPod, build your own enclosure for it

Wasn't Tim Cook one of the first to donate to Trump's Inauguration? Did they at least protest DEI scrapping (excluding some shareholders) or Gulf of Mexico rename, or bent over like rest of big tech? I'm honestly not seeing it, to me Apple is as bad as google

[-] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

Yes. Tim Apple gave the $1M bribe to Orange Donald.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Tim Cook

Never heard of him. Do you mean Tim Apple?

[-] dzso@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I can think of a lot of companies that are far worse than Apple.

[-] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago

It's best not to humanize corporations, especially as the arbiters of morality and ethics. It's simply a calculated risk on Apples part. I don't mean to be a negative Nancy and all "nothing good happens" it's just we can't keep letting corporations get away with being brands you can "trust" when we have all the evidence necessary to assume they are not trustworthy, just profit-seeking.

[-] in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

Isn't this sorta how the Corporate Wars started in the Cyberpunk universe?

[-] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 44 points 1 year ago

As someone who relies on Starlink to get functional Internet access? Please, please give me more options.

Eutelsat is considering expanding into North America. Send them a message you are interested. Tell your friends. We need an alternative. https://www.eutelsat.com/en/contact-us.html

[-] Retro_unlimited@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I have Starlink, I stopped paying when Elon did the nazi solute. Now I’m on phone data that barely plays 360p video, but I’m happy as can be not giving a nazi money.

Must be trying to hide fraud and waste. Better set up a commission to investigate them and start firing spacex execs.

[-] dagarnok@50501.chat 34 points 1 year ago

So much for the free market unless it no longer benefits SpaceX and Elon Musk in general. Welcome to post capitalistic America!

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Someone should troll libertarians on reddit with this

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

capitalism truly spurs competition and innovation
