Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is easy to address:
Fire the CEO.
Hire a new CEO that cares about QA, and can create a work environment that attracts and retains top talent.
Meanwhile - Honda has launched and successfully landed a reusable rocket.
I'm still just in stunned amusement that fucking Honda is joining the rocket races.
I used to love spacex- no longer. You all know why.
I think this is also the reason they have so many failures lately. They used to have no problem attracting top talent. I don't think that's the case any more.
Watching the initial Falcon launches, it gave me so much joy when it flew successfully and I was sad when it exploded.
Watching the Starrship launches it gives me so much joy when it explodes, and I'll be so sad if it makes it to space one day.
I love knowing Musk has probably created saboteurs in his own companies being a fascist khole. They probably aren't even selling secrets just breaking shit because fuck Elon.
I truly hope this is the case. If the resistance insists on non-violence then industrial sabotage on a massive scale is a long overdue starting point
If destruction of property during a protest makes it "violent", then destruction of property via sabotage is also "violent".
My point being: regardless of what actions we take against the regime, it will always be classified as violence as an excuse to send the state dogs after the dissenters.
When it comes to actions done in protest of the regime, we are incredibly far behind on the escalation of our actions against it. We need to be protesting like the original union movements that occupied factories, sympathy strikes from related industries, anything and everything we can muster to bring the entire economy to a screeching halt until those who hold the reigns of industry give in to our demands as workers.
Ideally, we wouldn't stop there and, instead, continue until we, as a united working class, take back ownership of what is rightfully ours from a parasitic class of a few societal elite and dismantle their system which has reinforced their authority over us.
But we can cross that bridge when we get there. First we have to get organized and start actually doing something.
You say "we," I say "you." The rest of the world has been telling you for decades this was going to happen and we got belligerent jingoism in response. I agree with you- but I'm also not the one who needs convincing.
The clowns have the nukes. We're in this together. Assign blame at the Hauge later.
It is HILARIOUS to me that you think any US official will ever face that kind of accountability.
My point was to expand on where yours was lacking. Not to convince you, but to provide more context for others reading it.
Fair!
There's even an official manual for those interested in joining the fight.

"Simple Sabotage Field Manual" by United States. Office of Strategic Services is a historical publication written during the early 1940s, amid World War II. This manual acts as a guide for ordinary civilians to conduct simple acts of sabotage against enemy operations without the need for specialized training or equipment. Its main topic revolves around promoting small, accessible forms of resistance that could collectively disrupt the enemy's war effort. The manual outlines various strategies and techniques for citizens to engage in sabotage that could be executed discreetly and with minimal risk. It provides specific suggestions for targeting transportation, communication, and industrial facilities to create delays and inefficiencies in enemy operations. The manual emphasizes the power of many individuals acting independently to contribute to a larger campaign of disruption, encouraging simple acts such as misplacing tools, delaying communication, or damaging equipment with household items. Overall, the "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" serves as a unique historical artifact that illustrates grassroots resistance efforts and the belief in the collective power of ordinary people during wartime.
All the greatest rockets in history have been made by Nazis, Elon is no exception.
I know they don’t mind “dramatic iteration” in testing, but aren’t the tests supposed to get better as time goes on?
This one didn’t dump debris across Caribbean islands though, so I guess there’s that.
Does this guy really need to own two explosion companies?
And SpaceX is supposed to be the ‘good’ company that Elon runs. NASA needs to cancel the HLS contract and claw back the money already spent.
Used to hear that spacex has been successful in spite of his meddling, not because of it.
I do wonder if he started taking the reins with Starship, because it sure seems to be giving them a really hard time.
Was musk on board?
Sadly, he survived.
There's always tomorrow's SpaceX explosion though.
if i lived near southern texas, i would drive for the next launch, sounds like a good show, and it's free
A thorough and predictable failure.
At this point it might be more newsworthy if a SpaceX rocket doesn't explode horribly.
lol Falcon 9 is one of the world's most reliable rockets, and the only one commercially launching and landing.
Starship is still in development.
