The impact to society from space exploration is immense if not immeasurable.

  • Weather forecasting
  • GPS navigation
  • Earth sciences
  • Robotics
  • Medical imaging

NASA has a website dedicated to the topic, as do other agencies around the world.

There's also a Wikipedia page on the topic:

So .. now we have plausible gibberish .. also known as Autocorrect on Steroids .. that includes corporate sponsorship.. seems like we're moving closer to the true meaning of advertising with every iteration.

Next we'll be asked to pay for this feature .. oh wait.

I can't wait until the Assumed Intelligence bubble finally bursts and takes with it some of the largest companies in the world .. perhaps this is how we finally address climate change.

Make sure that you use cheap stainless steel, otherwise it won't rust and leave a stressed patina look.

Al Gore Might Have Saved the Climate, If the Country Had Let Him Try

Or Jay Lenno, Bruce Springsteen, any random person.

The point being that our society is being manipulated by politicians who have been bought and paid for by the fossil fuel industry.

This whole bullocks around recycling, solar panels on our houses, buying wind power instead of coal power electricity is all fiddling around the edges.

We've got billionaires burning more energy than cities, industrial processes tearing up the environment and the big technology businesses have just invented the biggest energy guzzler of all time, "AI", spearheaded by Microsoft, Google, Amazon and now Apple.

Thank you, that's very kind, but for professional ethics reasons I'll have to decline your offer.

I am part of the Reddit exodus. I'm here because I have no interest in promoting or supporting the atrocious policies that now govern Reddit.

The pace here is different, but the interactions feel more measured.

Based on being online since 1990, I'm comfortable with being an "early adopter", even though I've only been here for a few months and Lemmy is five years old.

Will Lemmy survive? Who knows. The horse and buggy didn't, neither did Yahoo!, MySpace or Google+, but here we are nonetheless.

I like it here.

Nothing quite like different shades of the same colour to get your point across.

Perhaps you might select distinct colours instead.

Shades of colour are best used for indicating a scale, like on a heatmap for example.
