The changes include clearer instructions for the assembly line, training improvements and more tools. The company says it has also ordered each station be completed before a plane moves on the assembly line and directed Spirit to not ship defective fuselages to Boeing’s Renton plant.

Oh… for fucks sake. You can’t tell the people at the bottom to work better-er when they’ve been trying to work better-er for a decade and their efforts get shit on .

Interview every team lead and department head that has ever raised a quality/safety/non-conformance. Then interview/audit every executive those issues were reported TO. And if they can’t provide a very very very good reason (i.e. not “$money$”) for why those issues weren’t actioned then they get fired. Every fucking one. Then promote a bunch of engineers.

Boeing used to be a great company when the engineers ran it. Now its shit because the MBAs in expensive suits run it.

lemmy.ca

yeah there was some inbound federation struggles with lemmy.ca the past few days, those might still be persisting. its where I’m homed, it works great from the inside! :)

Wow. Stickied THAT to [email protected] thanks!

[email protected] to find stuff (also see the resources stickied)

!thislemmyexists[email protected] for when you found stuff and want to let others know about it.

Also: https://browse.feddit.de/ <- community search engine. There’s like a bajillion PC gaming communities already.

Cool!

Cans has source? I’ve been hacking on a per-instance community scraper (that pulls a list of communities from the community directory page) for !lemmy411[email protected], in an attempt to have a regularly published community list, but I’m a bit bogged.

No actually its because msgs “boosted” by the community will only be sent to your inbox post-follow, if that makes sense. For the same reason when you search for and sub to a community on one Lemmy instance to a comm. on another, it only gets the last few posts; but your instance will get all the ones that come after.

Essentially following a lemmy community is like a magazine subscription; you don’t get all the previous ones retroactively, but you get all the ones that come after you subscribe/follow.

Like here it is in Elk (my masto instance is mas.to)

You can “follow” communities on a Lemmy instance just like a regular user.

Lets say we’re talking [email protected] (and the federation isn’t bork).

Search for @[email protected] in Mastodon and (if the federation isn’t bork) it should find the community as a user and you can follow.

Followed communities in Mastadon:

• all posts and comments show in an amorphous stream as individual toots – depending on what interface you use it could be just random toots or they’re displayed threaded
• they all show as boosts from the community “user”… which if you think about it, that’s all a community does - it reboots all posts and comments-on-posts to all subscribers of the community.

We find we have to leave out any sugar or sweetner if we use the Starbucks ones.

But yeah, find the Next/Not Milks - even non-vegan teenager uses those w/ his cereal.

I can’t speak to how well it froths, but both Silk’s NextMilk and the Not Milk plant based alternatives are (to this non-vegan who cooks for a vegan) as close enough as to be indistinguishable.

Also Starbucks also has a line of flavoured plant-based coffee whitners in the grocery stores now which my vegan is particularly enjoying.

I know something like 28 thousand active daily users!

Yeah, I’m only seeing plumbing and homeimprovement subs. :)

And a lot of people posting “hey, what happened to <sub>?”. Like… have you been living on the sun the past two weeks?

You’re missing the precursors:

Email -> Newsgroups -> CGI forums / IRC -> Slashdot… :)

The new Fediverse really is kicking up IRC and newsgroup vibes for this old timer. Its very exciting.

Dunno. Hey @smorks@[email protected] , what is lemmy.ca’s host provider/plan (unless its top secret Canadian Moose Power Secrets)?

As everyone else has already said that’s a very good question, one that doesn’t necessarily have an answer, but Im not too concerned.

I’d point out (rather excitedly) that this really isn’t unlike how the Internet used to be up until the late 00s or very early 2010s and the rise of insta, FB, birdsite, digg and reddit. EVERYone had to shoulder hosting costs (unless you were on Geocities,Myspace then it was ads)

Yes, we’ve had bulletin boards and discussion forums since perl and CGI were a thing; each was self hosted at the hoster’s expense. Newsgroup and IRC servers too - THOSE all acted like “federated” instances - common newsgroups and chat channels would be synchronized and replicated from server to server EXACTLY how federated Lemmy/Kbin/etc. instances do it now.

And the infrastructure costs were a struggle then and they will be now. Back then to have a capable CGI forum host, or to colocate your server in someone’s data center it cost a lot - like decent hosting/co-loc plans started at $50/month and went up from there. Most hosting plans had steep bandwidth caps, think like 5GB included and +$5 per GB - if you hosted a popular site 40-50GB of traffic wasn’t abnormal. If you ran a newsgroup server you frequently had to futz with how long newsgroup msgs were retained to save disk space; like 48 hrs or less (then the data would be purged).

What you can get for $50/month THESE days is quite a lot more capable, and you can run a low retention instance for a lot less. Bandwidth and disk space are ludicrously cheap (at least compared to 10-15+ yrs ago). If your instance is low user, low community, and reasonable data retention/cloning, you could run Lemmy or a Mastodon or Calkey server on an old computer you have kicking around and host it from your home internet connection with a dynamic DNS mapping.

Obviously the big instances with gobs of users will struggle with how they pay for the server infrastructure - some will use crowdfunding, patrons, donations etc. Others will run ads, or subscriptions.

My home instance lemmy.ca is at 1400 users (as of right now) and is on a $25-30/month hosting plan and so far the site is doing just fine (or seems to be). I’d guess that a massive instance like lemmy.ml might be north of $1-200. But, if you think about it, all you need are 20 ppl to donate $10/month. I donate yearly to Wikipedia. As they discuss in this thread here https://lemmy.ca/post/599590 Mastodon gets $28k Euros a month in donations and pays for two? full time developers, so its not like there aren’t people donating to open source projects… and so far Fediverse servers are doing fine.

Also be sure to x-post these to [email protected].

Also search for stuff at [email protected]

… and be sure to post it to [email protected] !

Whups. try now.

For what its worth I just spend this morning scraping a list of communities from the dozen largest Lemmy instances. ANd last night for no good reason other than it existed in Reddit, I created [email protected]
