Spirit Airlines has announced it is going out of business after 34 years. The ultra-low-cost airline known for its bright yellow planes and deep discount fares said Saturday it has started winding down operations.
The right wing would be instantly defederated from the rest while the left wing builds three identical versions that all say they wanna go forward while pulling the plane in different directions.
Everybody hates the huge central fuselage but can’t disconnect from it without falling from the sky.
Most of the discussion focuses on snide comments between the slightly different wing designs while all the critical tail components are held together by 3 single selfhosting admins. Then one of them goes on holiday and the tail fin just disappears.
This is one of the single most accurate and succinct analogies of a tech space I have ever read, save possibly for the one that Neal Stephenson wrote about operating systems being car dealerships.
The two wings entirely forgetting that the point of their existence is to support the massive population in the centre of the airplane just trying to get where they’re going is pretty peak political commentary
I could imagine us mounting a huge effort to get the fediverse jet and even have an instance based on the thing. We would always have a bird in the air, so that the fediverse would belong to no nation and would survive any conflicts.
But then somebody would mention how bad flying the plane is for the environment, and calculate that it breaks down to multiple kg of CO2 per post, and we’d all be like “shit, you’re right” and shut it down.
i remember she was supporting " some sort of progressive " initiative, but immediately turned around and complained about her plane being tracked and looking like a hypocrite she is by being polluting. Also hanging out Magat/friends fans.
Usually these are auctioned of at industrial/buiness auction houses.
So check out the various bancruptcy auction houses or find out who is their liquidator and ask them.
But be warned, it’s rarely worth it.
If you live near one of their hubs thete probably will be some interesting stuff that can be had for cheap. I’ve gotten pretty good deals at industrial auction before.
They will contact one of the larger auction places on your country and let them handle it. Here in Australia it’s Slatterly for cars and vehicles, and Ross’s for other stuff. I’ve bought catering equipment, servers, printers and office furniture from auction. But they sell anything from jewelry and wine to Komatsu mining dump trucks the size of my house.
I’m still salty that my gf stopped me from buying that massive box of rolls of tape from the airport seized items auction. I could have secured so many things!
As if you and me are allowed to benefit from the “free” market like that lol. No. Don’t worry, everything that isn’t already spoke for or owed to someone will go to someone who already owns things for a living.
Sorta of a blind shot, but does anyone here know where to look for their asset liquidation & auctions?
I can’t afford an A320 but I’m sure they have some good tools, equipment, servers, etc.
Just an FYI
‘Sorta’ is a slang contraction of ‘sort of’ You don’t need an ‘of’ after ‘sorta’
I blame my crappy Samsung android keyboard lol
I’ve noticed it’s especially bad on lemmy for some reason.
It’s sorta of a problem, I agree.
Well in any case. RIP in peace Spirit Airlines.
I bet your sorta blast at partys.
Sorta of uh a blast ish
Maybe we could all chip in? I’d like a Fediverse A320.
Real shit though, a fediverse-based co-op would be sick!
I’ll chip in as long as I can fly it – I have 1000+ hours in flight simulator
I can vouch for this individual, I’ve watched them successfully complete most of those hours
I’m not so sure.

And the pilots debate nihilism while the flight attendant asks if there’s a doctor on the plane.

Those are about to be on the market as well.
