Hmm. For me social media is where end users create the media. So Reddit, Lemmy, YouTube all fit this.

You would likely be refused entry for not handing over the phone, legal or not.

Using a burner phone is the best bet.

That was a good read, thank you

Yeah this. I dunno what the fuss is about. Its just missing on github is all.

Literally missed the point my comment.

Sorry, you’re right. The point I was trying to clumsily make is that It didn’t have the effect that the RAF were aiming for. Which was to break morale and more importantly, stem the civilian population production of war. If anything, production increased, despite the terror.

I’m incredibly ignorant on WW2, and in general knowledge, being a nerd and all, my brain is full of Linux. However I have recently been watching the World War in Color series. I’ve been watching several other similar series and I’m totally hooked now.

The run-up to WW2 and current US affairs look strikingly similar. I look at the TV, then my phone, then back at the TV and “it’s the same picture”.

The British turned entire cities into flame tornados during ww2, and it galvanised the Germans rather than deter them.

Looks like the original comment has been deleted without leaving a marker

We have backyard chickens. The huge one was a double yoker and delicious 😋

Oh okay. We shall continue to wait then :)

Whaaaaaaaaat?!

My wife and I were looking forward to this. We played the original together a bunch of times.

Oh well, thanks for sharing, will go look for something else. Damn.

Got excited then. But it’s only Aldi US.

But the vast majority of viruses focus on end users.

I think it was missing an “/s”

If the trend continues then maybe the hacker community will start focusing on Linux. Can you imagine “I don’t need a virus scanner, I use Windows, the under dog OS”

I do

I’ve got the update waiting to be installed. I read the reviews and haven’t installed it. But it nags me every few hours.

I bet you’re real fun at parties.

I don’t think this technology is intended to be used for global internet. But for giving access to a remote town, this is many magnitudes lesser in cost than a satellite.

A brief internet search tells me that a Starlink satellite is ~$1 million apiece, and lasts 5 years. With the additional cost of the launch the annual cost is ~$300,000 per year per satellite. You can work out the cost for 10 masts and tell me that its much cheaper.

From a consumer perspective, Starlink is amazing. Fast, relatively cheap, available anywhere. From a labour and material cost, its incredibly expensive. If a town can be serviced by cable, wireless, this new laser or whatever then the economical and environmental impact (in terms of materials) are a fraction.

Whilst masts will face the same prejudice as windmills for destroying landscapes, Starlink has already been causing issues with stargazing and night sky pollution. And this is only the first commercial venture for low-orbit internet. I can imagine there shall eventually be multiple of these setups, each with thousands of satellites (Starlink is at 7k+ now I think) which will only exacerbate the issues.

The point being, that having other technologies with overlapping abilities isn’t a bad thing. Choice is good.

Hang on that’s not a fair comparison. So you will need to deploy some masts to reach remote areas, got it.

Satellite internet then needs to fire a satellite into space to cover the area of which now there are thousands of then And the satellite has a shelf life and will eventually burn up in the atmosphere requiring repeated deployments.

Masts sounds easier.
