    He also challenged Zuck to a cage match and chickened out when Zuck accepted. They’re both pieces of shit.

        My guess is better coverage and latency with its sheer number of satellites.

        They use low earth orbit, which require them to use more satellites, but lowered latency.

          Technically, and this is purely semantics, coverage is the major downside to starlink. They are faster, though.

          The coverage of satellites has an exponential factor of the distance of that satellite to earth. If you had the satellite further out then its signal could reach a wider area before being cut off by the curvature of the earth. However, as the distance increases, so does latency.

    When the war was turning in Ukraine’s favor and they were about to push into Russia, he shut it off and crippled their counter offensive. I remember. Fuck Elon and fuck starlink.

      It starts in the middle. It’s smaller and indented because it’s then being quoted by the Polish minister on top. Then Elon, fuckwit that he is, responds at the bottom.

          It was never meant to be used like this, and Twitter just never changed it out of pure stubborn bullshit

          The original idea is that you’d retweet something, say something like “check out this bullshit” and then read the re-tweet, but people regularly use it as a reply feature that boosts to their audience instead and so this UI insanity happens
