I’m not entirely sure of the exact legalities but I have some experience working cube-sats and have some insights on this. Since Low Earth Orbit is getting kinda crowded you now have to ensure that your satellite deorbits within 5 years of deployment. So that 5 year figure does limit the satellites lifespan. Quite significantly sometimes because you have to ensure that even if the satellite is dead on arrival it deorbits within those five years.

I bet all of these restrictions can be alleviated to some extent if you’re a super rich dickhead but that’s how it is for us.

Huh, why does it use the AUR for discord? In Arch it’s just part of the Extra repo.

I mean the function syntax is pretty much just taken from Lambda Calculus.

My 2 cents regarding that specific PR is that I find it very disappointing to shut down a PR pushing for neutral language in build instructions for supposedly “advertis[ing] […] personal politics” because in my opinion this sends a clear signal of non-inclusivity. Your mileage may vary on this I guess.

Is this a reason to boycott a project? Maybe, Maybe not. That’s your decision. I will definitely be on the lookout if this is “systematic” in the project but I didn’t have the time to look into it so far.

I’ve only tangentially picked up things about this but this is an example for it
