Oh no!

I’m still on Lemmy!

Fox news will call them the calculus mafia in no time.

He doesn’t post on twitter any more I think. Just his own site.

Well he also has people like managers, publicists and agents who will think this way.

I’m not entirely sure it wasn’t the other way around.

He probably knew some charges were coming years ago, and started adapting his output accordingly.

Excellent work by someone there. I love the customer service agent with the ski mask (who can barely keep a straight face) lol

Infrastructure can be a real problem in some places.

I’m currently on a mountain and since they upgraded to a hybrid satellite/cable system the speeds have skyrocketed. Laying cable/towers is just not viable, especially with dense rock peaks blocking line of sight.

Also I have coworkers in Nigeria who lose internet multiple times a day (and often don’t have the bandwidth for a video call) but most of them have bitten the bullet and paid the high up-front cost to get starlink at home. And now can do HD video calls with zero interruption (unless they have power issues, but that’s a whole other thing).

So I think there’s a lot of use-cases for sattelite, especially for people who aren’t considered worth the investment in non-sattelite infrastructure.

It’s just unfortunate that yeah, space junk is going to one day (suddenly) be a massive problem.

Edit: ah I may have replied to the wrong comment
