  • Yeah that maneuver’s called “crabbing” – looks scary, but as I understand fairly typical for cross-wind landings

    Basically just flying into the wind a little bit to cancel it out, so that relative to the ground you’re going right down the runway, even though the nose is pointed the other way. Then turning down the runway at the last moment so the landing gear is pointed the right direction when it hits the ground

    30+ degrees is definitely on the higher end though


  • The three -verse terms I’ve heard in use are:

    • Fediverse: All the (ActivityPub-based) federated services with at least some degree of interoperability between each other
    • Threadiverse: Subset of fediverse focused on threads-based discussion, like link aggregation/forums-style (as opposed to i.e. microblogging)
    • Lemmyverse: Subset of threadiverse specifically running Lemmy (as opposed to i.e. Kbin)
