        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 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.

        I mean I was just a teenager when Oppy was launched. I followed it more or less religiously through out my life. It was easily like seeing a pet go. Loyalest little robot that could… and did.

      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.

        That’s the Curiosity/Perseverance rovers. The second generation Spirit/Opportunity are much smaller. Spirit is to the upper left.

          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.

              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?

          Plagiarism, by definition, is taking the work of someone else without attribution. If you’ve provided attribution, it cannot ever be plagiarism.

          Note that this is not the same as copyright infringement. If I upload the complete 3rd season of Knight Rider to YouTube, that’s copyright infringement, no matter what. But if I were to do it and say “created by Glen Larson for NBC” in the description of every video, it would not also be plagiarism.

          The above site cannot be plagiarism because every single one points back to a specific XKCD comic or comics that it used as its source. It could be copyright infringement, although I suspect it would probably qualify for a fair use defence due to being parody.

            I guess my definitions were a bit loose, but isn’t it extremely in poor taste to emulate the exact formatting of the website? An unsuspecting user might genuinely believe they were at the original XKCD site.

    It’s fascinating how we anthropomorphize objects like this. My Roomba got stuck on some cables underneath my TV table and when I found it, it was making a sad sound that just broke my heart. As I picked it up, I found myself saying, “There, there little Roomba, I’ll rescue you and get you some juice. Poor thing.”

      Always when one of those food carrier bots of ours around here gets close by, I pet them while they pass me 💓 They just are tooo cute!

    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

          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

        I agree on the lemmy being quite tiring at times my first second post garnered alot of attention and I had to deal with those unsavory types anyways what are you having troubles with on linux I’m a bit of a newbie myself but I might be able to help m8

            I get your frustration, but “criticizing Linux” while you’re visibly having a known Steam issue is kind of weird. Not saying you’re not having the issues, and I understand why you went back instead of dealing with it, but are you “criticizing Windows” when some other piece of third-party software bugs out too?

            Agreed though, the Linux community has a very vocal, very annoying and rather elitist component which doesn’t help the reputation…

                  Ok, and you have claimed you can fix it. Tell me how you’re going to fix a Steam issue?

                  Oh wait, it’s almost like you’re full of shit and you can’t fix it. Get lost, liar.

            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.
