@cy @sundogplanets 🤔🤔🤔 so you're saying I should build it on a boat?

@sundogplanets not that it matters, but it also wouldn't budge a thing in the kardashev scale, as it's supposed to measure how much power civilization can harness, and they certainly would pale in comparison to the total amount of earth based computing power, not to mention all the power used in non-computing usage
SpaceX's hype has never been constrained by facts.

@cy @sundogplanets I mean if I'm in international waters with a gun powerful enough to shoot down satellites, I'm pretty sure I'll be good

"Launching a constellation of a million satellites that operate as orbital data centers is a first step toward becoming a Kardashev II-level situation"
THIS IS IN AN FCC FILING NOT A SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK I'M DEAD
@sundogplanets it's incredibly embarrassing and pathetic that a lot of the techie sorts with access to power now are people who…like I say, there's no such thing as reading too much science fiction, but there IS such a thing as reading too LITTLE stuff that ISN'T science fiction.

I feel like this is a good time for everyone to go read "More Everything Forever" by @adambecker.bsky.social because that completely unrealistic and awful techbro mentality/religion the only way to explain this FCC filing (and that book explains this very clearly!)
Time to go outside and listen to NZ birds as the sun comes up, because fuck SpaceX.
@sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social this rec made me happy to see because it’s published by Hachette (where I work) and I just got a copy from the office to gift to a family member who’s been a bit too AI-optimistic.

What the actual fuck. It's not April Fools Day, right? This is real?! Fuck you, SpaceX. Maybe this will help regulators realize how fucking shortsighted companies' plans in orbit are?
Surely the FCC won't rubber-stamp-approve this one??... ONE MILLION STARLINKS FUUUUCCCKKKKKK

@sundogplanets Other than the obvious, how on earth are you supposed to be able to maneuver such a large number of satellites in extremely close proximity in orbit to prevent them from colliding with each other or anything else at all? With that number of satellites, even if just one collision were to occur at some point, it would be beyond disastrous (at worse, we'd have like many thousands of satellites/junk concurrently raining down into Earth kinda thing).

@sundogplanets They will absolutely rubber stamp it. The orange dictator will see to it.

@sundogplanets Orbiting data centres are stupid for a huge range of reasons, not the least powering them, cooling them and fixing them. Just another idiotic idea from Musk (Optimius, Cybertruck, The Boring Company, “Full” self driving, etc….).

@nev Or when you're reading science fiction which was intended to be a warning, and treating it as something that should be done because it's Cool™!

“Orbital data centers are the most efficient way to meet the accelerating demand for AI computing power,”
Demand isn't accelerating, you're forcing it on everyone you assholes!! We can't NOT use it when you make it an integral part of every product you sell ASSHOLES!

@sundogplanets my condolences. The moment I saw this story, my thoughts were with you.

The sunrise/sunset line is the terminator. So, Sun-synchronous (i.e., passes every day at the same local solar time) LEO on the plane of the terminator.
Whatever it's called, it's a horrible plan. Want a ringed planet, you know where to find it. One of these days they will come up with a clever (?) plan to dismantle the Moon to give old Earth a ring too... until the rocks start colliding with each other and decaying into our atmosphere.

Sciopero Trenord lunedì 2 febbraio: ecco gli orari e i bus sostitutivi. Il sindacato Orsa: “Impossibile la ‘pace sociale’ per le Olimpiadi”
Vano il tentativo di conciliazione per portare ad un accordo che evitasse le astensioni dal lavoro per protesta nei giorni d’avvio dei Giochi Invernali, per i quali a Milano sono previste circa mezzo milione di persone in più

@grep_harder non è affatto illusorio, se uno sa come viene nominato il CSM e come dovrebbe operare secondo Costituzione, la Costituzione che non a caso le destre italiane hanno ostacolato dal giorno dopo della sua stesura. Ma poi, che ragionamento sarebbe quello di eliminare il CSM invece di farlo funzionare come previsto? Per quale motivo poi il controllo politico dovrebbe funzionare meglio, soprattutto oggi che i nostri politici sono il peggio del genere umano? Non hanno argomentazioni, punto.

@G3rt direi che sperare che sia la Magistratura ad autoregolare sé stessa sia illusorio. Gia Milena Gabbanelli, nel 2021, aveva dimostrato come i giudici siano essenzialmente impuniti anche davanti a situazioni imbarazzanti. Insomma, qualcuno deve metterci mano, prima che la situazione diventi irrecuperabile.

@grep_harder sarà cioè il "politico" a controbilanciare il potere giudiziario. Questo aprirebbe un vulnus micidiale. Come nel ventennio sarà il politico a indicare alla magistratura quali tipi di reato lavorare primariamente. Nel ventennio la corruzione era la norma tra gerarchi, politici e borghesia, ma ad essere indagati erano dissidenti, ladri di polli e biciclette, con il solito giochino di spostare le minacce sul "nemico interno": anarchici, comunisti, dissidenti, ladri...

@Nonya_Bidniss I hear you. I've been deep in it for a couple of days, following the protests, which is the only reason I know about it myself.
There's only so much Dem capitulation one human soul can cope with.

anno nuovo, nuovo bollettino. Anche se un filo in ritardo, ieri sono partite le copie del bollettino 66, il secondo bollettino del 2025. In questo numero, oltre all’editoriale — che prende spunto da un comunicato sottoscritto da alcuni collettivi anarchici...Vedi l'articolo
