Hier habe ich ein Screenshoot aus Stellarium, der fast ausschließlich Starlink Sateliten zeigt. Es ist erschreckend, wie viel Müll Musk schon in den Orbit geschossen hat und er macht weiter.
Aktuell sind es über 5000 Starlink Sateliten im Orbit und geplant sind über 40000 weitere Sateliten.
The 1 problem about T-Mobile Home Internet is all the idea places to place their gateway (their modem / router combo unit), would ultimately mean either moving or mistakenly bumping into the unit.
That, ultimately, causes a change in the signal I receive.
All the places I can think of that would keep their gateway stationary away from anyone, avoiding any issue, is not likely good for the unity to receive the best signal.
I guess unlike in #Germajy where @BNetzA forces them to accept 3rd party routers and modems, the #FCC doesn't demand that level of #DeviceNeutrality...
(Otherwise #Iridium would not be allowed to restrict tarrifs based off #IMEI numbers of customer devicee!)
Not because I have followers that are #blind, but because I myself want to be able to use the #Fediverse on #narrowband connections ranging from #Iridium to #EDGEland aka. throttled #2G...
And that means saving bandwith using text-only and only loading multimedia and other files if need be...
Personally I thought about getting an #Iridium phone and putting that number in the legal imprint because prank-callers will then face the cost of dialing +8816 and paying $$/min and not ¢/min...
Because if one has an accident with no withnesses or other traffic coming for minutes if not hours, chances are it's some rural road with no #GSM (or #3G / #4G / #5G reception at all...
Alternative text = inclusion. Describe images not only for screen readers but for sighted users who read the alt text they can access! meaningful #AltText can help to highlight the main focus of why you've posted an image especially on social media.
@mothdust also even if someone isn't disabled it'll help contextualize stuff whilst also providing a meaningful alternative on throttled & slow connections.
So in addition to cluttering up low earth orbit, wrecking terrestrial astronomy, creating the potential for a Kessler Syndrome cascade which could close access to space, and creating a national security nightmare, Starlink internet access is a climate catastrophe using up to 30 times more carbon footprint per internet subscriber than land based internet.
Personally I was thinking about building some #ChonkyPhone that is even more repairable than the #Fairphone.and.would even allow swapping the #WWAN Modem...
People keep referring to the Cat 22 flip phone as a dumb phone. It has a touch screen, runs Android, and has the Google Play Store. It is a flip phone, but I think that's too much to even qualify as a "feature phone". Just being a flip having a smaller screen, and having a physical keypad doesn't make something a "dumb phone".
The Daily Beast is reporting that Elon Musk ordered engineers to switch off his Starlink satellites just as Ukraine was preparing to attack the Russian naval fleet with drones. He said he feared nuclear retaliation by Russia. It’s high time we ask the question: How much power and influence does it make sense to hand just one person?
I wish I could go into details but based off some former friends experiences, I'd like my door intact, my neck lead-free and my pronouns not non-consensually changed to was/were...
Elon Musk secretly shut down Starlink operations off the coast of Crimea last year to thwart an attack by Ukrainian naval drones on the Russian naval fleet, CNN writes based on an excerpt adapted from Walter Isaacson’s new biography of Musk.
@Optional@Superfreq Well, whilst I don't focus much on accessibility, just not bothering to do any JavaScript already makes the few and tiny sites I do super small.
Personally, I'd not visit a site that is a pain in the ass to load or scroll through on #Iridium [2400 bit/s] speeds.
@mekkaokereke@carnage4life Eeyupp.
I mean $74M does barely pay 2,5 Proton rockets, so it's not as if that's much considering one is needed alone for that thing and scientific missions never get the scalability bonuses of commercial aerospace like most satellite providers.
Speaking of Satellite Providers: #Iridium replaced their aging fleet in 2019 at a cost of $2,8B and those were just 77 in-orbit + 9 ground spares that were sent to space literally in 6-packs and that covers the entire globe.
At 9:45 pm on Sunday, August 13, 2023, I went outside to star gaze. I was looking for the planet Saturn. That is when I saw the long line of StarLink satellites tracking east-southeast over my house.
This is the second time I have seen this. And it was both extremely cool and somewhat disturbing that the satellites were so visible from my nighttime view.
It would be nice to not see the modern world when looking up but cool that technology is so readily visible.
Mobilfunkempfang in den Bergen: Und ewig droht das Funkloch
Beim Wandern oder Mountainbiken in den Bergen ist schnell ein Unfall passiert. Dann muss Hilfe her. Was aber, wenn man im Funkloch steckt? Auch für Bergwachten ist das ein großes Problem. Von Ulrike Nikola.
I hate! only getting video tutorials for everything.
Game walkthroughs? Videos.
DIY tutorials? Videos.
Music tutorials? Videos.
BEST-OF LISTS? VIDEOS!
"Please like, subscirbe, and ring the bell—" SHUT UP STATEMENTS DREAMED UP BY THE UTTERLY FACEBOOK POISONED!!
I'm trying to 100% all the #SniperElite4 missions and finding any sort of walkthrough for the tougher ones is impossible. I completed "tick-tock" (complete Magazzeno Facility in under 15 minutes) thanks to an uncommented playthrough recording that could have been half a page in writing, rather than 15 minutes in video.
I'd go so far and say that everyone who thinks videos are better than written text should be forced to browse the Internet on #Iridium [ @ 2.400 bit/s (!) ] until they change their mind and apologize.
The agonizing over bloated websites and shit will teach them harder than anything else!
I want an ngrok that instead of sending something local accessible over the internet it makes an Olympic swimming pool accessible through my bathroom door.
I want something so #rugged that if I throw it at a #drywall, it'll break the wall and that if I were to throw it after someone I'd be charged with attempted murder.
