I don’t know why everybody keeps downplaying where AI is already at and the speed at which it is improving. It can already disrupt multiple industries with where image, voice, and LMM AI is at right now.

Crazy how simple and obvious that seems after you see it, but I never would have suspected it if someone did it right in front of me.

Crossposting is popular and there are a lot of overlapping communities that post the same sort of content so of course you will right now. The current lemmy users are overwhelmingly nerdy, so piracy and gaming communities are going to show up a lot and there are several of them over the different instances.

So you’ll see this on several gaming communities and again on several piracy communities.

So we just shouldn’t have high speed sattelite internet for people in rural areas or disaster areas because some people make money from it?

Or they should only be there if a government runs the sattelite? Because that wouldn’t change the effect they have on telescopes.

This is the kind of comment I was talking about.

That’s what scientists have wanted anyway, even without the occasional satellite there is a lot of interference. I wouldn’t be surprised if they leveraged this to try to get more funding for more of them they wouldn’t get otherwise.

I do wonder how much the average people commenting would care if musk had nothing to do with this.

It’s an issue, but it’s an issue scientists knew was coming for decades now. Starlink isn’t the only company putting satellites into low earth orbit. They aren’t the first and the amount of them will just keep coming.

What we need is regulations and requirements for how many, what purpose, how they’ll be dealt with if something goes wrong and when they’re no longer needed, etc. Getting people to share satellites that are already there (when possible) and not putting up satellites that are redundant or don’t provide that much benefit versus non-satellite options or further orbit options will be important.

But all these mindless circlejerkers only talking about musk and wanting starlink “taken down” are really polluting the topic with meaningless bullshit. It’s unfortunate people are bringing these mindless circlejerks over from reddit.

Yeah as bad as it may sound, I kind of like that it’s not as easy to get into as reddit’s official app or tiktok or whatever. A barrier to entry can help quality. It doesn’t stop all the toxic assholes but it helps slow down the onslaught of braindead echo chambers and circlejerks that reddit has turned.

As bad as this may seem, and not to try to downplay it, this seems like a good time to remind people that this kind of vulnerability isn’t limited to cars charging at public spaces. Any time you connect devices to anything in a space you don’t control, you’re vulnerable. That goes for public wifis (many of which are just businesses farming your data + hacker risks), and public charging stations that could have compromised chargers with malware.

I just hope loads of the people lining up to replace them are also anti-spez and wait just long enough to make them feel comfortable before they start protesting themselves.

Really? If it does and the other remaining apps do too they’re going to lose even more people. Only reason I’ve still been popping in is because of relay. I hate the app compared to what RiF was, but it’s been good enough. No way am I paying a subscription to access reddit, and I’m not using the official app after all this either.

Do they seriously have 2k employees? I’d kill to know what all of their jobs are and what each of them does day to day. From what I’ve heard from mods and from what we’ve seen I can’t imagine they were all doing much.
