Oh okay then that's somewhat of a choice to install all the bells and whistles

You have control over your visibility, anything you don't want people to see, you don't put in the internet.

Buggage would work just fine as long as the seed is ejected at decent speed. Save couple days for it and it's fine

You can't see them, that's the point. You block users, comms or instances you don't want to see on your timeline.

You don't get to decide what other people want to see on theirs

I couldn't find any source for that, but exosphere is considered to extend to 10,000km or 190,000km, from which the latter is about halfway to the moon.

Anyways those numbers are pretty damn tiny even on a small solar system scale

Anyways, even if you look from very close, from our own moon to the earth, anything on the low earth orbit is so extremely close to the planet. Just look at some of the famous earthrise photos, and think of something orbiting ~8% of the radius distance

You're part of a planet for sure :)

One can be simultaneously on earth, and in space. In fact we all are

But I'm just arguing that while orbiting earth and being within the Earth's atmosphere, it's pretty much still on Earth. Just like you're still at home even if you're at the on the yard or even just outside the gate picking up mail from the mailbox. Looking at it from distance, it really doesn't make difference

Yeah that's called Kármán line, but it's just arbitrary line. ISS is still orbiting within Earth's thermosphere

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 day ago (28 children)

So if orbiting earth doesn't count as "on earth", why does sitting in a plane just couple hundred kilometers away count?

@grok what does this mean?

Maybe they fixed it now but it still did that sometimes a few months ago. I've removed skype like 3 times on my work computer

This really depends on how your admin has configured it to deploy, it's installed with an XML file that has configurations on what features to install. Skype for business still exists for the few customers using the onprem sfb server, latest one being released 2025.

However if your admin has moved you all to teams, then Skype will tell you to open teams instead

Got AliExpress copies from 5dev cranks, and a steel fork for the bike. Also just testing a flatbar on the bike.

The bike feels super fun in "pub cruiser" way, but holy fuck is it dangerously twitchy on trails! Superb fun in the most derogatory way, but I'll throw the drop bar back for now, more comfy on my longish 40k commute

Found some super cheap fulcrum rapid red 900 wheels at 27.5" size, so decided to do the disc brake conversion. Add some mechanical Tektro brakes from parts bin, Kenda tires at 50mm width and sick looking yellow bar tape from local bike store, 12->10mm axle conversion and we have some absolute beauty here supported by Mezpils lager from Latvia

I have some shifting problems to solve, also the disc brake conversion kit from bezos doesn't really work all that well but those are all probably solvable issues. Might start into looking to weld a disc brake tabs to the frame :s

Since the last Post I grabbed some cheapo alu forks and cranks for 1by setup, and the bike is starting to feel great. I had a weekend trip with brother in law and realized I really wanted to add then some proper panniers and aero bars for more comfort over longer distances.
Oh, and replaced the old tiagra derailleur with a grx, works great with tiagra 4700 shifters

Photo from the trip

Now also considering throwing in some 27.5" gravel wheels with 40mm-ish tires and disc brake conversion, but not sure if I want to commit on that yet.

 

YT Industries GmbH has initiated a legal restructuring process under German law, entering into self-administration to secure the company's future.

In a press release from YT Industries, the German-based brand said "despite strong global growth and a loyal customer base", it has been "severely impacted by the global discounting battle in the bike industry, problems with suppliers and uncertainty in the US market related to tariff policies." YT Industries said it was "compelled" to enter legal restructuring proceedings under self-administration as the company has "no further funding available under the current structure."

Markus Flossmann, founder and CEO of YT Industries, said it was "not an easy step for YT, but a necessary measure to actively shape the future of the brand." Flossmann added: "We are already in discussions with potential new partners and are confident that we'll be back on track soon."

Currently, YT Industries remains fully operational with business continuing as normal during the restructuring process. Customer service and warranty support continue to be available and new product launches are still on track to launch in the coming months.

For any further support, YT Industries said its customer support can still be reached through email and the North American entity of YT is unaffected.

Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch

Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X) and Square (now Block), sparked a weekend’s worth of debate around intellectual property, patents, and copyright, with a characteristically terse post declaring, “delete all IP law.”

X’s current owner Elon Musk quickly replied, “I agree.”

 

Had a crash on mountain bike back in January and couple ligaments snapped in the ankle, time for a fix and upgrade in a form of some braces there.

Hospital drugs were amazing. Woke up after only 3 hours of sleep but felt great, had a good core workout and even dug up my laptop to do some work I was excited to get on to. Somehow high as kite and brain on overdrive managed to solve a problem in backlog that's been stressing me out for some weeks already.

Got out later that day, and after a great lunch and some more legally obtained narcotics managed to get couple more hours of sleep in. Evening was some good slack and watching TV with wife.

Next day started strong, woke up very early but felt rested and after a cup of coffee a good short workout again. Sit-ups straight and lateral, push-ups, biceps, triceps.

Feels good right now, hoping to keep the motivation up going for the next 3+ months without mountain biking. How do you fellas keep up the spirits and motivation to keep training through injuries? Any fun stories to share? I'm probably going to spend a lot more time in Lemmy for a bit, might start spamming this comm too a bit ;)

 

Grabbed the bike for 80eur from a local online market with all original parts and swapped on some stuff found laying around at home like saddle, bars, Tioga levers, 10sp cassette and derailleur and pedals.

The fork is dead, probably crushed elastomers, otherwise runs like a beast. Currently planning to swap bigger tires (race king 2.2"), single chainring in front and probably a rigid fork, though haven't yet decided on that. Would be fun to repair the Marzocchi Zokes if I can find parts

Found this cool blog post listing European bike brands

Not all(most I assume) are made in Europe, I think Taiwan is one of the most common :(
