No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The cascade of fault warnings as recorded by the digital flight data recorder, all of which occurred within a minute,[4] involved the three multiply redundant hydraulic systems, elevator flight-controls, autopilot disconnection, an emergency exit door, and even an engine anti-ice warning.[5] The Airbus A320 has three independent hydraulic systems, coded blue, green, and yellow, such that the loss of all three is considered by experts to be virtually impossible. (Too, this aircraft make and model is the one of the most flown globally.)[6] For approximately four seconds all hydraulics control was actually lost.[7][8]

Right, this is obviously a terrible thing to happen, there is no denying that.

But we the public have too little information about the aircraft to demand any change yet.

They may already have identified the cause, and have found it to only affect a small percentage of the A320neo fleet, with a relatively simple fix, that is easy enough to install that it doesn't notably impact scheduling.

We don't know, and at this point we need to trust the investigators

~~> at this point we just need to trust the investigators~~

~~hat's just it, I don't know we should trust any US federal regulators at this point, especially not when there's a lot of money at stake.~~

~~nd we already had the global aviation community bitching about the last time a US planes computer bug crashed a plane into a mountain and the FAA was dragging its feet.~~

Oops. Read Boeing for Airbus for some reason. Carry on.
