Right, so I'd be interested to know what law that reasoning is based on, i.e. what are the gaps in the law, and why are they there?
I mean, this is a court, not a private jet manufacturer. I'd like to at least know their stated reasoning, and am not going to assume that they're automatically in cahoots with the manufacturers.
I also think that we need good regulations and that people should vote for that, but that also seems orthogonal to what a court rules, other than that it should base itself on those rules - but if that's what it did, then again, I want to know what those rules are.
This sounds so far-fetched that I'm inclined to think I haven't seen the actual reasoning yet. The main nuance I can see thus far is that this is about the manufacture of private jets, i.e. flying them still wouldn't be seen as sustainable. And part of the reasoning is that they could theoretically be flown on sustainable fuel?
Is the joke that nobody knows what it says on the blackboard?

Hey everyone!
The very real, not fish-themed Lemmyvision returns for its third edition! For those not in the loop, read below to learn more about this Lemmy Event:
TL;DR
- From right now and until May 3rd, discuss with your Lemmy instance or community about which song to send to the contest.
- Submit the song in this community by making a new thread.
- On May 4th, voting will begin. You will rank your favourite songs in a form. Any song not submitted by this date will not be featured.
- On May 11th, results of everyone’s favourite songs will be published.
- You can use !lemmyvision@jlai.lu for any question, this will be the community for updates and results, make sure to subscribe if you’d like to stay in the loop.
What is Lemmyvision?
Lemmyvision is inspired from Eureddision (itself a reenactment of the Eurovision song contest) which was held on r/europe some years ago, and based on the participation of national communities / instances and the delicate musical taste of their members (you!).
Every country/community is welcome to participate! The contest follows the rule of “national languages only” but regional languages are welcome as well! Basque, Welsh, Cherokee… you’re welcome to promote a non official language if your community / instance wants to. The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists.
How it works:
This post, and the !lemmyvision@jlai.lu community will be open until May 3rd, and I will start promoting the event on various instances and communities. Lemmy communities who want to participate have the responsibility to gather its members and vote on a single song to send for the contest.
On May 4th, the songs will be locked in. A playlist will be created to allow you to listen to all of the submitted songs, and everyone will be invited to vote on their favourite. The voting is estimated to last for about a week. On May 11th the results will be published, with a ranking of everyone’s favourite songs!
For the second edition, lemmy.ca was allowed to send three songs, each one in a different language (French Canadian, English, and Inuktitut, in their case). This means your community can send multiple songs if you want to showcase its different languages!
For the first edition, an exception was made for the programming.dev Lemmy community to participate by sending a song related to their main interest (they sent a video game soundtrack). If your instance or community does not represent a specific country or language but wants to participate by sending a song related to your instance center of interest, you’re welcome to do so! For example, lemmy.blahaj.zone could send a song composed by a Queer person!
I don’t expect countries with a “small” population to be accurately represented on Lemmy, so no worries if you don’t have a community and are just a small group of people, or if your country is not even on Lemmy but another platform (Kbin and whatnot), I can make exceptions, just reach out!
Song submission:
- Each Lemmy community is responsible for their own organization.
- Only one (1) song per language per community is to be sent.
- If the song contains vocals then it must be in (one of) the official language(s) of your choice, or a regional language of your choice.
- Songs must have been released after January 1st, 2025.
- Songs must not be international hits[1].
- Submit your songs in their own thread in this community
- Verification will just require a link to the discussion thread created within your community, to ensure it’s a community (not a single person’s) decision.
[1] this is to prevent drama that happened in the past on Reddit, where Germany sent a Rammstein song and obviously won. It’s up to my own appreciation of what international hit means, because it’s hard to measure (metrics on different streaming platforms aren’t the same), but I’m pretty lenient, just ask me if you’re not sure, better to discuss than argue
Voting:
- Voting will be done through a form created on tally.so.
- I will set up the form near the end of the month, and share it in a new announcement post when the time has come.
- If you’re worried about privacy, there will be no questions about personal data, and last year I deleted the form and its results a week after the event was done.
On Federation:
I don’t discriminate based on instances, if your account is not on the same instance as your community, that’s totally fine. Additionally, if you’re on another Fediverse/Activitypub platform and would like to participate, and you’re able to federate with your representing Lemmy community, you’re welcome to join us, I’d just like to keep organization within Lemmy so it’s easier to track participations.
Would you like to help?
The first two editions went really well, and I managed to handle the whole thing alone. Programming.dev even helped with setting up the playlist during Lemmyvision 1! If you’d like to help in any way, please feel free to reach out, I’d love to have as many people as possible involved!!
Cheers!
I'm glad I live in a place where this would give you almost no info.
Because there's more than two options.
Appears to be a mistake, but needs gorhill to appeal to make the reviewer aware of the mistake and to be able to fix it, which he doesn't feel like doing because he thinks it's unlikely to have been a mistake.
Update: now reversed, but gorhill removed it himself just to not have to deal with the review process and the possibility of human error anymore.
This sounds exactly like the type of nontechnical nonsense they're complaining about: attacking a strawman ("they're trying to prevent people from refactoring C code and making them rewrite everything in the current fancy language") even after explicitly calling out that that was not going to happen ("and to reiterate, no one is trying force anyone else to learn Rust nor prevent refactorings of C code").
They've committed to not changing any displayed text ("strings"), so that translators have time to translate everything.
I'll always upvote StreetComplete.
If TypeScript still is a fad at this point, his definition of fad is far lengthier than mine is.
I'm fairly sure TypeScript will remain in popular use longer than whatever project you're working on 😅
It's a good thing we're no longer this narrow-minded, right? Right?
Egg does not produce value.
