Comment on US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters
pupbiru@aussie.zone 1 week agouh… okay but the alternative is what? no starlink… so a big fat on/off button in the hands of someone horrible is better than just off? they can now choose how they want to proceed - that’s still better than having no choice

muuuuuuuch more limited range, bulky, less utility (can’t easily send maps, photos, etc) - i’m not saying they don’t have options, just that the options aren’t really comparable
also, i think i read somewhere that starlink was proving surprisingly resilient to jamming
