If quantum computers become a standard thing in 10 years it could be even worse.

Didn't 2024 make the 1.5 degree mark and we're just checking if it wasn't a fluke at this point?

Or be wealthy

Yeah, it sure can do it in a way nobody else can, the most wasteful way. But I appreciate you shifting the goalposts from Ukraine because being used in war is a reason why it is a bad ISP. See, if a war breaks out and a power can destroy them, we're talking global breakdown of internet via starlink. If a war breaks out on the other side of the world a traditional isp keeps working.

Then there's also the piss poor service, the poor number of total connections, the lack of redundancy, the cost, the ecological damage of launching rockets every week so that someone is the middle of nowhere can jack it with high speed internet, being disabled when a nazi feels like it...

Lol "Starlink is a bad ISP" "BuT wHaT aBoUt Ukraine!!?!?!?!?" "Mostly irrelevant to this conversation" A true lemmy experience.

I love how you completely ignore how starlink is only viable for ukraine because the US military industrial complex.

There was satellite internet before Starlink and Starlink should be banned for all the 5ghz interference it creates

This is a really weird "ends always justify the means" because I could also say it wouldn't be necessary if Ukraine never gave up their nuclear weapons and how I doubt the Ukrainians would disagree. This is also further impacted by the protection of Starlink by the US military because if it wasn't an act of war against the US to destroy them, Russia could take down low earth orbit satellites pretty easily.

But none of this is relevant to how Starlink is not an ISP, it is not infrastructure it is a fleeting wasteful service.

Those places can get internet from satellites outside of low earth orbit that is simply slower with higher latency.

The main problem is that starlink is not a viable ISP like Comcast. Relying on low earth orbit is extremely wasteful as you need to constantly launch more and more satellites. Starlink gives their satellites a 5 year lifespan where fiber can go on for 40 years or more. There are 7,500 starlink satellites, so we're talking a constant replacement of satellites all falling into earth's atmosphere, not being recycled.

Starlink is literal space trash waiting to happen.

I don't know about "any breed" and we're not just talking a bite, we're talking killing two kids and nearly an adult human.

Piracy has never been theft because nothing is missing. It's not stealing or theft if someone takes a picture of my shoes and makes their own because I still have shoes.

I thought it was called capitalism.

Maybe they would then stop putting the fucking knives into the fucking dish washer.

That's kinda what I was thinking but maybe there's something I am missing.

At least for me, the appeal of these trucks is that they're old Japanese trucks that were going to be destroyed otherwise. If I was just getting a new commercial vehicle then I'd just get a van that people can't steal stuff from as easily.

What's the point of one of these over a small commercial van?

Pretty sure it's the lack of consent of the intent that is undignified. Just like many woman prefer to not have their date pay for their meal because it sets the implication that they have to pay via other ways and they didn't consent to this.

Even if the intent is good it is still manipulation without consent.

My hell dude, you're missing the point so hard you're either a troll or so belligerent you're not worth talking to. Never once did I say Fahrenheit was better, it's like you're just shadowboxing with yourself at this point.

Nobody ever said you did, but billions of people don't live at sea level and because of that water doesn't boil or freeze at 0 and 100 for them.

The problem with Celsius and it's relation to the freezing and boiling point of water is that water is a rare chemical that is less dense as a solid so it will freeze AND boil at different temperatures depending on pressure.

Freezing temperature isn't 0 at 1500 meters and it doesn't boil at 100 either.

Edit to add examples:

On Mount Everest water boils at 72 degrees

In Denver, Colorado water boils at 94 degrees
