A search was being carried out at the French offices of Elon Musk’s social media platform X as part of an investigation opened in January 2025, the Paris prosecutor’s office said Tuesday.
Most Albertans don't actually want this, this is a smoke show meant to drum up support, more likely they fake the results to show over 50% and Donald will claim its real even if we prove them wrong. He'll use that as an excuse to take them over Alberta. He'll just do what Putin did.
GG 218 Västfjord II är en av minsta av de 10 största fiskebåtarna i Sverige. Båten byggdes 2002 och är en pelagisk trålare. Skrovet byggdes på Western Shiprepair Yard i Klaipeda, Litauen och den färdigställdes på Karmsund Maritime Service AS i Kopervik. fiske.zaramis.se/2026/02/03/de…
An activist platform designed to track US immigration enforcement activity, StopICE.net, has come under fire after reports surfaced of a major data breach that allegedly compromised the personal information of over 100,000 users and handed it to federal authorities.
Elon Musk wants to merge his rocket company, SpaceX, with his AI company, xAI. Then he wants to take the combined company public on the stock exchange. [Reuters] Musk previously combined X Corp — f…
SpaceX can't go bankrupt... You won't let us go bankrupt... It would be a shame if all those satellites lost their ability to be maintained. This is how he becomes too big to fail.
@techtakes Bear in mind SpaceX's near monopoly is transient: Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin is now flying and re-using New Glenn and ramping up launch cadence aggressively. Give it 5 years and unless Starship works 100% to plan, SpaceX will be eroding like Tesla today. (And this ignores the multiple Chinese reusable launcher startups with government backing.)

I mean, what's the worst that could happen? They'd just burn up in the atmosphere. More than likely the government would just take possession of the system if they had a critical dependency on them.
For the millionth time, if every satellite in the starlink constellation were to fail today, they would be gone in about five years at the high end. They are low enough in the atmosphere that they have to fire station-keeping rockets to maintain orbit. If they collide, the small pieces deorbit even faster due to drag.
At around 400 kilometers and into the 500-km realm — home to ISS and the SpaceX Starlink satellites among others — atmospheric drag plays a major role. Dead satellites and debris usually slow and burn up in the atmosphere in just a few years. This natural cleansing process accelerates when the sun becomes more active and solar coronal mass ejections strike Earth and cause the atmosphere to swell.
“In those altitudes, we can probably do a lot and we will be forgiven,” Linares says.
anyone else who wants to tell me “for the millionth time” about how it’s super safe to fill low-earth orbit with unprecedented amounts of literal garbage in pursuit of creating a shit-tier ISP that’s sucked hard every time I’ve used it is welcome to take it up with the professor of astronomy that wrote that last article
“it’s not Kessler syndrome unless it’s from the Kessler region of space, otherwise it’s just sparkling Rods from God” fuck you

This is the best way possible to (maybe?) end this epic thread!
Here is the story of the Saskatchewan SpaceX debris fall, written by me, published by Scientific American: scientificamerican.com/article…
Many of you got to see this story unfold in real-time toots, but this is the whole thing, plus some extra science context. Extra special thank you to @NicoleCRust and @laurahelmuth for encouraging me to pitch the story to SciAm! I am so excited to publish in a magazine I read all the time as a kid.
@techtakes If you want high latency, nothing beats telnet from the UK to a server in California via a comsat in GEO back in the early 90s when the trans-Atlantic cable circuit was down. A three-phase TCP exchange has to crawl up to GEO, 35,000km above the equator, and back down *three times*, never mind the surface level routing.
Gave me a strong appreciation for Berkeley vi's designed-in ability to cope with slow modems.
SpaceX is actually really fucking successful, why would be destroy it by tainting it with shitty AI? Oh right, because he's a moron who does way too much ketamine.
SpaceX has the US government by the balls, and several others, due to Starlink. Musk wants to leverage that by intertwining SpaceX with his other shitty businesses, to protect them as well.
@techtakes Having SpaceX take over X is going to backfire explosively real soon now: France isn't the only government investigating X for election meddling and peddling child pornography, and it could take down SpaceX's ability to do business in countries that would otherwise be buying launch capacity:
It would be nice if you used Lemmy's builtin "crosspost" feature: that way you can share across communities to reach everyone, but (some) client software we use won't show it to us 7 times, because it knows it's the same post.
Lämna den högerextrema sociala medieplattformen X. Jag har följt Jonas Sjöstedt på de flesta sociala mediesajter en längre tid. 2024 meddelade han att andra social medier var viktigare för honom och nu meddelar han att han lämnar X för gott. blog.zaramis.se/2026/02/03/all…

I svensk media just nu fog figurerar en hel del artiklar om sexförbrytaren Jeffrey Epstein och hans kontakter med norska kungahuset, svenska affärskvinnor och universitetsanställda män, modeller och annat. Men Epstein hade inte bara den typen av kontakter utan också andra. blog.zaramis.se/2026/02/03/noa…
