    Business owned by greedy manbaby says to give money to business also owned by greedy manbaby. Hmmm…

    I wish there was a way for the average person to shoot down starlink satellites.

      Don’t worry, the way things are going the star link satellites are going to shoot themselves. Unfortunately together with everything else in the low orbit.

    We should also dump passenger trains for…electric car tunnels?

    Yeah, because all the gamers love to play online with a 3 second latency.

      Those dial up days on avp2 were peak gaming though. I don’t want them to return, but I remember those days very well.

    Here’s a better idea: nationalize SpaceX and tell Musk to go fuck himself first. Not going to happen? Then no grant money.

    Weird, that sounds anti-competitive.

    A bunch starlink modems in an area can overload or whatever the nearby satellite. This is not feasible in its current form.

    do they know what competing is? fiber is much cheaper, stablier, offers less latency and more speed.
