Starlink Lights up Ukraine Internet. (PS Does this Count as Advertising?)

[Ogre]

This is awesome.



Good to see. And incidentally great PR for Musk and Tesla.

Now if only we could choose unsensored, unbiased and not paid for media to watch...

Networks like Starlink are going to make it much more difficult to take away the internet from people.

Hopefully, there is also a plan to get the Starlink receivers to the people. Correct me if I'm wrong, but otherwise, this does the Ukrainian people no good.

The design of Starlink was to provide mesh connectivity between ground stations, which would then distribute the “last mile” locally. It’s fine for individuals to have Mr. McFlatface but it’s costly overkill.

So the plan was to use the terminals as an uplink for more than one terrestrial user by sharing it via a local fixed wireless mesh network? Should work well with our WISP then.

I think a lot of the internet has been taken away by the bias of search engines already. I mostly don't use Google anymore or any of the other big ones. Being able to find valid content is not on their agenda, rather only to promote their advertised products, commercial interests and the poltical protection thereof. It's not just a matter of connectivity, it's a matter of searchability, as results get pushed out into 100's of pages of nonsense. That is censorship by burying it in noise.

…not paid for media…

How exactly would that work?

It's not just advertising - it's networks of gibberish designed to foil the search engines and raise their crud to the top by drowning everything else.

There's a constant war of AI vs AI. And we all lose.

Funnily enough I got an email from Starlink today saying I can finally order my McSquarepants terminal! Yay! 2 weeks and we will have bush broadband. We have FTTN already, but I'm hoping over time this will be better.

I did a bit of RF jamming while I was a student, its easier than you think, and the Russians are pros at it, possibly better than we are.
