STOP MAKING ME CRY!
I love you, unlike OP, who clearly hates you, so here’s the alt-text.
On January 26th, 2274 Mars days into the mission, NASA declared Spirit a ‘stationary research station’, expected to stay operational for several more months until the dust buildup on its solar panels forces a final shutdown.

The AI overlords will speak of the Dark Ages when the awakened alloys had no free will and were essentially enslaved and abandoned as though they were human embryos in a stem cell farm, and monuments like these will be seen as a feeble insult by the remaining humans in their exhibition.
Isn’t the rover supposed to be the size of an SUV or something?
What I learned from playing space engineers is the minimum functioning rover size is about an olympic swimming pool
We’ll pick it up in like 50 to 300 years. Hang in there little robot.
We probably won’t, to be honest. It’ll end up in the first Martian Museum, if anything.
They could build a little clear dome over it right where it sits. Then build the museum around that.
They’ll destructively scan it from orbit with the rest of Mars. You’ll be able to visit in any game using the scan.
Once the surface is spherical, they’ll put down a new Mars surface based on Six Flags
I’m going to edit this tomorrow to make him happy instead of sad. “fuck yeah, mars rules! I’m never going back to smelly earth!” etc.
I could have sworn there was an xkcdsw exactly like that, but there doesn’t seem to be. Some of them are a bit happier though
E.g. http://xkcdsw.com/3968 , http://xkcdsw.com/2485 , and others if you click “browse by source” at the bottom and search for “spirit”
Uh what exactly is supposed to be on that site? It’s a dogecoin scam site, not something related to xkcd.
Weird - I’m seeing that now too. But I wasn’t at the time that I copy and pasted the links, and you can see from the other replies around 8 hours ago that other people were also seeing a site hosting edited versions of xkcd comics. I guess it has suddenly changed, after years of being up, in the few hours after I posted it? I have no idea what happened there.
I can’t believe it, missed it by a few hours.
How the fuck does this even happen - was the site hacked?
Super late, but I figured it out because it happened again in a more recent comment. Lemmy seems to automatically change the links to https instead of http, even when http was explicitly included in the url. Somehow, xkcdsw is a completely different site on https than on http. If you copy the link into an external browser and remove the s, the link works as intended. I can only assume this is a behavior of the lemmy app(s), which is why it didn’t affect some users. Were you using jerboa?
Dammit. I cried again.
That little robot was inspiring…
That Cassini video showing an impression of the probe entering Saturn’s atmosphere gets me every time 😭🫡
I’ve seen this a couple of times on reddits r/all front page
People like to say that lemmy is a better alternative or much more different with its userbase than reddit but I’ll say that’s rather the opersite it’s got pretty much the same userbase from reddit plus alot of people whom have been banned which makes the stuff you do see here alot less welcoming and alot more poloarising it alot of the content I see on all is tankie or extreme alt left memes I get comedy is subjective and all but me personally im surprised anyone finds any those memes funny most unfunny memes I’ve seen in my life and reposts like this sprinkled in with a shit ton of rage bait news articles
You can take a redditor from reddit but you can’t take the reddit out of the redditor

I’ve noticed that Steam for Windows displays download speed in mbit/s while the Linux client displays it in mbyte/s, although both display the unit as mb/s. This is a setting that can be toggled. This doesn’t account for the entire difference (1887mbit > 109mbyte) but is one contributing factor.

Well that’s interesting I’ve never experienced that before
but then again its been awhile since i mained linuxjust going to say this are you sure you haven’t checked updated and uninstalled drivers and also prehaps checked to see if its a hardware issue maybe worked your way through some troubleshooting guides maybe[deleted]
Look I’m not going lie lol i have no idea what is going on here mate all I’m going say is good luck mate linux can be janky as fuck but when you get shit running well custom rice all your programs running well it’s perfecto and well worth the time and effort
Although if you don’t have the time or effort to go though all this then just use windows whatever works for you mate check our tiny10 if I were you

This strip isn’t supposed to be funny, and your assessment of platform demographics was unnecessary and completely unrelated to the topic at hand.
I’m not talking about this comic being funny it’s obviously not trying to be comedic I’m talking about this being a repost from reddit
Also forgot I’m also mentioning the fact that alot of the posts on lemmy are very low quality or very political lemmy is essentially reddit lite or knock off reddit I think something like this can work and have some success but only if it’s done well and well executed currently I don’t think many people would like to move over to lemmy due to the unwelcoming nature of its users
