There is! Sort of, in the making. World Mobile is a service that is in the works of getting a decentralised network out to provide internet in rural areas, and 3rd world countries. Really fun project to follow.

Did that link got X-ed away already? It says "Something went wrong. Try reloading." on my end.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe it's a mistake from my part? This is the first time I use this site or comment

I just pasted the Twitter link, it's working when I click it, but maybe I should convert it to display on nitter here in feddit??

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Ah then it's probably because I'm not logged in, that I'm unable to see it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Thankgod we're already working hard on that...

Elon Musk's atoms are poorly arranged for maximizing utility to the human race and would be better served if they were rearranged into fertilizer for feedcrops. At present they are just in a cloud of un-thought. Utilitarianism must be respected.

How do you speak our language?

Simple. I have access to an oscillation overthruster and a Ford pickup.

Is he calling people small now to compensate for his fat ass looking like Doctor Robotnik?

It's weird because Starlink hasn't been around that long that we should have become reliant on it yet.

Nationalize SpaceX and deport Musk to South Africa where he belongs.

(Ok maybe nationalize it under the next administration.... if there is a next one)

I have a question is an immigrant allowed to be vice president ?

No right ?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

VP has the same requirements as President, which exclude Musk because he isn't a citizen by birth. Musk was essentially put in the highest possible position he could be that didn't require him to be elected or confirmed by Congress.

Which is why he needed a puppet to be President for him. I don't know that he ideally wanted a puppet he'd have to time-share with Putin, but that's the puppet he bought.

And I firmly believe that aside from the occasional going off script as a kind of tantrum that Trump is entirely a puppet - consider the narcissism and desire to exude power that he has, and then look at him in the photos of that meeting where Elon was in the Oval Office with little Kevlar Musk and just how defeated Trump looks. He knows his choices were win office or be buried by the courts, and he signed whatever deals with whatever devils were necessary to guarantee it happened, he's owned by Elon and Putin, he knows it and that eats at him.

That's right, I think foreign born citizens can hold any office except president or vp

Maybe Trump was born somewhere else...

I can't fucking stand that douche. I wish Luigi would visit that cocksucker. Man, that feels good to say. Fuck Reddit too!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Look at it this way, if they did indeed arrest and frame an innocent man for convenience, maybe he will.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I don't think felons ever been in a fight before? I'm a pugilist, have had fights in the ring before but even I would be wary of fighting an ex-KGB judokan

I just hope it'd be a fight to the death.

There is no substitute for Starlink"

The fuck did he think militaries use before 2020?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

The high orbit low speed predecessor.

Abandon fucking Starlink and use Eutelsat. Poland should also stop buying US made weapon systems.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

As much as I hate Elmo, you can fold Starlink terminal flat and put in a backpack and it weights around 6 kilogram and costs around $500, Eutelsat โ€žportableโ€ OW70L is fucking chonky dome that weights 30 kilos, costs $2000 and needs to be transported in a car. They need to seriously up their game, and do it fast.
