  • There’s supposedly a lot of truth to that in general. Vehicle dynamics wasn’t really a thing until we had well developed aerodynamics, and there were a lot of aerodynamics engineers looking for work post-WW2. So, we went from just kind of winging it in chassis/suspension development to actually systematically working out how to design it because of that knowledge transfer.

  • Drop Site is not a simple “substack blog.” It’s a new project created and run by journalists/founders from The Intercept who parted ways because of their mismanagement. Everyone including the journalist who shared this article has extensive experience as a professional journalist and bylines with major publications.

    Is Time a blog because it runs on Wordpress?

  • Stuff along the lines of Luigi-posting. CTH was much more of a proper “all the left” community with everyone from soc dems on up that was largely just filled with anti-establishment shit posters. But, we loved John Brown etc.

  • Had my dog freak out about me getting bored and putting on my full faced helmet that he’d never seen me in as it was for racing autocross/formula SAE. Made for some fun chasing around as he was particularly worried about the helmet itself even after it was off. But, otherwise…

  • IIRC this is something that’s been getting rolled out poorly for quite a while now. They want to create a central login/authentication system (login.gov) for government websites, a generally solid idea, but the transition has been a bit of a mess everywhere it goes.

  • Mullenweg has been blocking WP Engine hosting’s access to .org resources, and even stripping them of access to plugins they distribute there. Not the biggest fan of WP Engine from what I saw in their Advanced Custom Fields plugin buyout (they messed with the existing licensing and focused on monetizing the crap out of it), but things aren’t alright in the WP universe.

  • Originated and enabled well before there were other active Lemmy instances or possibly even federation of any sort. It was put in place to stop anti-trans harassment.

    Plus AFAIK it’s only truly applicable within Hexbear itself. The main effect it has is that a Hexbear user can’t downvote anything on any instance with their account.
