@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.

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

"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 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.

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 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.

Added to my To Read list.
Enjoy the sunrise and buddies. Hope you got a bit of sleep 🤞

Bezos: Oh yeah? Well AWS will put TWO million data centers in orbit!
China: Let 5 million space data centers bloom!
Musk: Well, then SpaceX will put TEN million centers in orbit!
Bezos: Fine! ELEVENTY million AWS centers!
Musk: Hah! TWELVETY million SpaceX centers! Each with a cool robot!
Bezos: Meh-meh-meh-robot-meh. Amazon has robots.
Musk: But not COOL robots.

@rms We are in an escalating cognitive war — beyond propaganda and consent manufacturing.
It rewrites the narrative of contexts with one goal: empty them of meaning and destabilize them through informational noise.
It doesn't need to convince you.
It just needs to orient and deviate your perception.

Due turiste prendolo il sole in una spiaggia alle Mauritius. Ad un certo punto, dal mare emerge un aitante autoctono completamente nudo.
Una delle due turiste all'amica: ma guarda che bigolo!
Il nero: è bigolo berghé è bagnado!

@jerzone the pull tab > pop top was I think motivated by the idea of reducing litter, you didn't end up with a spicy little bit to chuck out your window. Modern plastic is another mess.
I try to drink my coffee from my travel mug, and water from my bottle, but I do love a fresh bottle or can of seltzer.
