  • Sadly I think Airbus is already busy as is. As far as I understand it, they were already supply constrainted before this and have their order books filled for years. Otherwise Boeing’s most recent quality and safety issues would have had a larger effect.

    I don’t know if they could increase capacities even if they wanted to, or if a volatile situation like this would allow for the investments that would be necessary to do so.

    Imo this just accelerates China’s own ambitions to build up their own rival with Comac. This development makes the transition less gradual and they’ll have to eat some losses, but that’s something their system is capable of.

    On the other hand it’s actually worse for the US, because they’ll miss out on those sales and might not be able to sell them somewhere else. With Boeing already struggling and this being a key industry, this will mean that it might require more subsidies in the future to keep them going or succeed in the turnaround.


  • Does this actually matter that much? I have a pixel 6a that has the visor style camera bump and with a case on it just disappears.

    And even if I’d use the phone without case Google’s bar shaped design still allows the phone to lay stable on a surface without wobble, just at a slight angle instead of flat. Which I guess would be an issue with other designs.


  • There definitely are growing pains, but in think all things considered it is moving in the right direction. As much as I wish it were different, expecting lemmy to instantly match and replace reddit (that had a ton of time to organically grow) is wishful thinking.

    Have you tried signing up on other instances? That determines a lot of the performance you are getting. Personally lemmy.world at the time I signed up was having issues (might be better now), which made me try out lemm.ee . So far it has treated me very well performance wise.

    As far as apps are concerned I am on android so I can comment for its, but connect has been my choice this far. Works fairly well, although not perfect. However in all apps I’ve tried the speed of progress has been very encouraging.

    Lastly concerning submissions without comments, lemmy simply still doesn’t have a user base to rival reddit. So in some way we have to be the change we want to see, otherwise things will never change.

    Personally I have given up on reddit, but I wouldn’t fault you for using it alongside lemmy for a while. I’d just hate to see people like you stop using lemmy completely just because it can’t instantly replace a platform that had such a massive head start.
