      That’s the worst part. Huge waste right when we need to be lowering our footprint. The only positive will be damage to extractive international capitalism based on fossil fuels, and potentially the pressure to make economies more local and less fossil fuel dependent.

      AFAIK Stargate is Sam Altman, not Elon. You’re probably confusing with Starlink and Starship.

      Agreed, Its not like the AI answers from my alexa can get any worse. Bombing some shitty corporations data centers has pretty much nothing at all to do with the American public. Some rich arseholes will lose a few dollars they dont care about and life will go on as usual.

      Maybe some AI product launches will be delayed, which is a net win for the entire planet.

    You gotta give it to Iran for being completely unbested when it comes to identifying pressure points (markedly ahead of the largest economy in the world.)

      My theory is that there is a strong potential that Iran is going to come out of this bullshit war as a regional power that can punch way above their weight class.

        I think the actual goal is to create a fierce enemy hellbent on destruction of the US so there is always an enemy to fight. That’s why they are bombing the schools and research centers, they want to make the Iranian people hate us completely so they can always say “You have to elect us, they want to destroy us and the other party is weak”

        We have always been at war with Eastasia.

          Its kind of a Tower of Babel situation, the not rich people had built a great tool of communication and cooperation. The wealth gods felt threatened by the combined power of the poor and the middle. So the weatlh gods destroyed the internet, hiding knowledge behind flase orAIcles and gatekeeping with token currency.

A community for discussing events around the World

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.

  • 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 OCTOBER 19 2025

  • 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.
