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 need more deorbit star link propaganda

@sundogplanets One… million… satellites!? 🤯
Even ignoring all the *other* issues…
I imagine those wouldn't exactly be tiny cubesats. So how does 30 per launch sound? Build enough of those satellites and launchers to maintain a launch cadence of one launch per day, and that kind of a constellation is *90 years off* per my calculator. Assuming no failed launches and no failures in-orbit and no replacements needed for that time, naturally. And they'll cram all that into sun-synch orbits? WTAF?

@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

@dougwade @sundogplanets so... I should design incendiary rounds is what you're saying?
At this point the only way out is through, unless someone wants to build giant nets to try and clean up space debris
@kwayk42 @dougwade @sundogplanets um actually, giant nets are a order of magnitude better idea that shooting satellites. Grapple arms and foam are also options. /srs
-
@sundogplanets that's it... Imma build a rail gun that can shoot down those satellites
@kwayk42 Nudge one a kilometer off position and hello our old friend Kessler.

@spycrab @dougwade @sundogplanets but I can still shoot them once they're caught in a net though right?

@sundogplanets
For the data centers.They will orbit in the sunrise line (I don't know how to call it) between 509 km and the sector where there's enough radiation to be unworthy.
Earth will have a ring
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.

I really can't help but feel that someone, somewhere, saw the term "megaconstellation" and said "let's have an *actual* mega-constellation!"

@sundogplanets I would ask if you were fucking serious and why the FCC hasn't thrown it out, but calling the people left there "clownshoes" is an unforgivable insult to the footwear of professional entertainers.
Also, worth noting, that isn't even fucking *ZERO* on the Kardashev because that's not even a goddamn relevant scale. Please somebody start fucking executing these techbro oligarchs to save the rest of us.

@sundogplanets at this number of satellites, we're in the domain where the Russians and Chinese might start shooting them down as they would take up orbital real estate for their own networks to compete with Starlink

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

@sundogplanets The FCC is corrupt. What I don’t understand is how US gets to decide this for the world. :(

@kwayk42 @dougwade @sundogplanets if you shoot them they become a hazard for everything up there.
What's worse than a million starlinks
Several billion in trackable small starlinks -

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 The CO2 footprint for the launches alone must be terrible? 🤔

The world's most heartbreaking six-word stories:
1906: For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.
2026: Orbital data centers for artificial intelligence.

Enjoy the sunrise and buddies. Hope you got a bit of sleep 🤞

@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.

@anarchia
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

@grep_harder appena avrò tempo proverò a farti vedere che, rispetto al problema che denunciavi, la riforma della giustizia non solo non risolve ma peggiora. Per controbilanciare il potere della magistratura i padri costituenti, in alternativa al controllo politico, ricordando l'esperienza del fascismo, pensarono al CSM. Giovanni Leone, diversamente da Calamandrei, era per il controllo politico. Alla fine si convinse anche lui per il CSM. Con la riforma passerebbe di nuovo al controllo politico..
