Wireless data transmission should only ever be used for nomadic, temporary, and/or sacrificial links.

They’re useful for quick deployment, but are intrinsically brittle and terrible for resiliency and efficiency.

The longer the dependence on them for a given use case, the less defensible arguments in support of them become.

I’m all for the use of satellite delivery of internet services, but only when it’s used in conjunction with a broader roll out of hardwired infrastructure, at which point it can reasonably be relegated to serving as a secondary, backup diverse path.

A healthy, broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need everyone to be sick, stupid, and scared.

After the ‘Gulf of America’ aneurysm, I’m surprised the EOs mandating English as the exclusive language to be used didn’t specify you had to use ‘American’.

On 2024-11-05, of the eligible voting population in the US, roughly:

• ⅓ voted for Trump.
• ⅓ voted for someone other than Trump.
• ⅓ didn’t vote.

As far as I’m concerned, if you’re eligible to vote and choose not to, you’re implicitly throwing your support behind whoever wins.

⅔ of the eligible US voting population to some degree support, and are responsible for, everything that is happening in their federal government now.

The rest of the world interpreted it as the US saying it doesn’t wish to be taken seriously for at least the next 2 years. We can resume discussion when they decide to choose adults to represent them again.
