Also important to note that the scale of these things can lead to intuitive misunderstandings. For example, if a meteor blows a meter-wide hole through the hull of an O'Neill cylinder, that intuitively sounds like a huge crisis. But in fact it'll take weeks before enough air leaks out through a hole that size to become a problem. As an emergency patch all you need to do is drop a big manhole cover over it on the inside and the air pressure will seal it up against the hole quite tight, making it easier for the repair crew to weld a proper patch onto the actual hull.

Labelling them "increase visibility" and "decrease visibility" is the best I can think of offhand. It says exactly what the effect is, with no "this is a good thing" or "this is a bad thing" connotations.
And, ideally, subscribers to this community? There are so many weird takes and misunderstandings about this stuff.
Yup. I sent him some money via that koffe thing he had up, and I don't regret it - it's important to maintain a diversity of clients in a decentralized system like the Threadiverse.
Hunters have been taking deer skins and wearing them since time immemorial. Why's it so weird for one of us to flip the script for a change?
From the Bluesky TOS:
Bluesky Social is available as a desktop application at bsky.app and bsky.social (each a “Site”) and a mobile application (“Bluesky App” or “the App”).
...
These terms only apply to social networking that happens on Bluesky Social services, including the Sites and Bluesky App. If you’re using another social networking application on the AT Protocol that isn’t Bluesky Social (we call this a “Developer Application”), the developers of the other service will provide the terms and conditions that govern your experience.
So looks like the Bluesky TOS simply doesn't apply. Create a developer application and give it whatever training-friendly TOS you want.
I don't know why anyone would be surprised about this. Bluesky is a distributed system using an open protocol. The whole point of it is that there's no central control.
Same goes for the Fediverse, of course. Everybody should be prepared for the "surprise" that all our posts and comments here are also being used for AI training purposes.
This decision was no doubt motivated by the exact same question that made them put that merchandise up in the first place: "what will result in us earning more profit?"
I hope the he just goes home, along with every other Russian soldier currently in Ukraine.
War crimes trials afterwards. There's no justice to be found on the battlefield.
Did you not read the comments I was responding to? They were specifically about opening the door.
So if I genuinely believe I can use my psychic powers to explode peoples' hearts, I should be up on attempted murder charges whenever I glare at someone with intent to kill?
Given that in a basically identical case someone linked to elsewhere in this thread no murder-related charges were filed for trying to open an airplane door like this, I suspect that wouldn't be the outcome here either.
There'd only be a one-atmosphere pressure differential, though. Wouldn't be so bad, depending on which bit of your body gets stuck on the gap (don't sit on it).
This is another thing Hollywood often gets wrong about the vacuum of space. If your spaceship gets a bullet hole in it you could do an emergency patch by sticking your finger in it and you'd be fine.
