Ooh, that's a fascinating point, thank you

Well, to be able to independently launch it: yes. But once the satellites are up, who cares about the car dealers-in-chief?

& There's already Eutelsat; their satellites already seem to be providing internet much like Starlink: https://www.eutelsat.com/de/satelliten-dienste/satelliten-internet-breitbanddienst.html

True, though only as long as one doesn't sell the specimens from the meme in Italy.

People protesting for democracy? Obviously, the USA are behind that.

Oh, wait.

By the way: For making really good pizza oneself, this video (German, 27 minutes) looked to me like the guy gives really solid instructions. (I haven't tried it though, and it's a multi-day project.)

Also, just to indicate the orders of magnitude: The German electiricty grid roughly operates at a power of 200 000 MW on average.

Source (the colorful graph in the middle of the page). (Be mindful that the absolute numbers in the graph are given in "MWh per 15 minutes" (power*time/time), so to get the Watt number (power) at any given time, one has to multiply the number by 4.)

What is this worth, given that spring is approaching?

Please let us recall the Capitol attack. It was much, much worse, targeting not cars, but people and democracy itself.

(As for Elon, it is important to recall that back then, neither he nor any other liberal magnate had free access to the oval office and his own-or-technically-maybe-not-his-own government agency. His status is wholly unprecedented.)

I would even go so far as to say let's hope that China steps in, too.

 

Bookwyrm's catalog is currently quite limited. Every user can always add a book, of course, but a lot of people will not find the button or just don't want to do this, and so they'll leave the platform disappointed.

To bolster Bookwyrm's chances against Goodreads etc., there should at least be a browser plugin where we can enter an Amazon link and have Bookwyrm's data entry form be automatically populated with all data available from Amaozon (and, by cross-searching with the ISBN, with the book's OpenLibrary ID etc.). Of course, the user should still check the data before ultimately submitting it. In creating the tool, one should also check if one needs to beware of copyright traps e.g. in the book descriptions.

(Theoretically, one might even go so far as to create a tool that scrapes book data in bulk, but this poses (a) increased legal risks and (b) will most likely lead to lots of duplicated books & authors on Bookwyrm, which for lack of an easy merging tool would be a real pain – the many existing duplicates are already annoying. Edit: And, as others have pointed out, there are a lot of fake & crap books on Amazon, so that indiscriminate scraping would flood Bookwyrm with entries that we really don't want there.)

Is there currently any tool as I described above?
