  • No, SpaceX is objectively a failure

    It was paid 3 Billion to bring us to Mars by now and by now where are we? If I’m extremely gracious, I’d say we’re at 1% of that. At the rate they’re going they can barely launch rockets that don’t explode, and they still do stupid and dumb stuff and them brag about the minor things that went well while cheering the explosions.

    Compare SpaceX to the fucking Apolo program that had to figure out everything from scratch, to do every calculation with a ruler, no good manufacturing techniques and see what they got in a decade. What did SpaceX do in this last decade?

    He promised he’d make space travel 10-100 times cheaper and so far he sold it for more expensive after receiving grant after grant.

    The guy is a fucking scammer. SpaceX arguably has some good engineers, but that’s it. Wake me up when they manage to get a rocket in high earth orbit reliably





  • And the arrests?

    Where are the CEO’s in handcuffs?

    If I pull this shit on a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the level that they did, I’d still go to jail, so why don’t they?

    And don’t give me the “but we need car makers” excuse, CEO’s are replaceable

    Don’t give me the “but we can’t definitely prove they knew”, they are the CEO’s, that OS what you’re paid millions for, right?

    WHEN ARE WE GOING TO JAIL THE RICH CRIMINALS?

    It’s so frustrating to have to read that a bunch of rich criminals get away with yet another criminal act and only got a fine which will be paid by the consumer anyway. I can fucking guarantee you that these criminals got a nice bonus for restricting the damage, so for their crimes, they get paid.

    And then police wonders why people like Luigi appear? I’m not saying I would do what he may have done, but I am saying that yeah, I fully understand and I fully agree with it. If the justice system refuses to give these criminals the penalties that they give to us, then we’ll just have to do something ourselves. What other option is left?

    Seriously, governments over the world: if you don’t want vigilantes killing CEO’s then START FUCKING JAILING CRIMINAL CEO’S AND MANAGERS FOR FUCK SAKE!

    If your company commits fraud into the millions then you know, or you get those that signed off on it, but JAIL THEM





  • Jellyfin, for one, comes to mind

    Maybe it should be easier for people to donate something to open source software. Maybe on the Linux command line there should be a message from apt that certain projects could use your financial help, of you want to.

    I doubt many people would be pissed if projects just ask for a small donation
