But kicking someone off mid-flight at high altitude is still a bit harsh. I hope they give them parachutes at least.

FUN FACT: Aviation rules require that any plane carrying a parachute must have at least one for every person on board. Hopefully the reason is obvious.

Now given that, do you really want to pay the extra cost of flying with 300 parachutes just so mr-full-volume-phone can have one?

That is an incredibly fun fact. Does this only apply to commercial or also a little Cessna? Presumably there is no actual enforcement on the private planes.

I made it too fun: what I said was at best an over-genarlization. The actual rules [1] apply to acrobatics and say that parachutes are required for everyone when non-crew passenger is on the plane:

    Unless each occupant of the aircraft is wearing an approved parachute, no pilot of a civil aircraft carrying any person (other than a crewmember) may execute any intentional [acrobatic] maneuver...

So without the passenger no one needs a parachute, with them everyone does.

It's perfectly legal for a 787 to carry a few parachutes just for the full-volume passengers.

I've packed my own parachute for this hypothetical situation.

Only if they paid extra at check-in.

And you specifically have to request it. It isn’t a normal option during purchase.

Nah, with how ticketing is these days they'll bug you a dozen times to choose between the $50 basic economy disaster package that only has the mask and 50% airflow or the full package for $100 that includes another 25% airflow and a flotation device. Business execute gets you the parachute, a private life raft, and a few days of MREs for $250.

Bet it won't happen twice though.

the first time

Wow this looks amazing, but the camera made me very nauseous, I had to stop playing.

Because I cloned it from Lobste.rs and probably forgot to change that one.

Hehe, cool. I just enjoy a good favicon, surely you'll make one for this project eventually!

Yes! https://gamedev.city/rss

Because Lemmy is a bit too much like social media and kinda bloated for me. I wanted something simpler so I hosted it.

Website maintainer here, that's kinda what we are going for. I really don't want to have to moderate a big community, this is supposed to be something you check once or twice a week.

once a week may not really be enough to engage a community unless you are sure who you are recruiting will be very active.

But I respect the choice, nonetheless. It just simply does fit my ideal style where I could find at least 1-2 interesting posts when I check twice a week. Having niche interests can be a curse.

Maintainer of the website here! I'm happy (and a bit terrified) that we made it to the front page of Hacker News.

This isn’t a commercial project, and it never will be. We’re curating the site for a very specific vibe and high-quality content, which is why we’re invitation-only and why we aim to grow the community slowly and intentionally. I also want to ensure our server can handle the traffic without issues.

I’m slowly working through the invitation queue, so please bear with me!

Clicking on logo on the top left should go it! In retrospect I should add a little text there to make it clear. (I'm the website maintainer)

That's really cool and super cute! I just don't know how I feel with the links being public, are we expected to use a long hash or something?

You could do that, yes!

There are a few different ways to solve this problem. What would be the easiest flow for you?

Same here, it's cropping tool is the thing that makes it for me
