whoa, im not blaming impoverished people with poor english from taking customer service jobs… they’re doing what they can with what they have…

im saying customer service is already practically a black hole… just instead of an AI that doesn’t understand or help with your problem… and regurgitates pieces of a script inappropriately, we already have that right now but with humans.

this is already the case, except i can eventually reach a human that doesn’t understand english, reading an english script…
at least the AI won’t get frustrated and hang up on me.

yes

“Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on Palestinians who had gathered to receive flour brought by UN trucks”

well that’s about the most horrible thing ive ever heard of…

pretty easy, if soldering is easy:

why not?

it’s not really a worry, it’s a plain fact

funny choice of words…
rather than sobering, this shit drives me to drink…

this graph is looking suspiciously like exponential growth… which would probably be very bad

felt right

i don’t understand

the problem you’re not acknowledging is that the atmosphere is a limited resource that belongs to all of us. (not to mention fuel/energy issues)

i think it groovy to do some beta testing and all… but they shouldn’t just keep launching disposable satellites to bridge the gap and keep service going… all space launches should be extremely well thought out, efficient, and as long lasting as possible…

like a nasa mission

sure, do some research… but don’t just burn up the sky…

i find that to be self explanatory

fuck hexbear, though…

it’s not about the $10, it’s the principle…

i have considered that, and it does serve a very good purpose there…
but still, launching a shitload of satellites wastes a lot of fuel and energy, and deorbiting them is rather wasteful.
im sure the same thing could be done without treating satellites like kleenex…
one of those things where profit and preserving the environment clash.

what is your point?
my point is you’re agreeing with me a lot but misinterpreting me entirely… so you’re trying to argue with me.
…
i’ll repeat my point reeeeeally simply:
yes, starlink wasteful, bad satellites.
some satellites good, like hubble.

well i was contrasting how say, the hubble telescope is a worthwhile satellite that will eventually burn up in the atmosphere, while starlink is wasteful…
