JINKIES, a clue!

didn’t want to

That’s what regulations are for. We let them have their regional monopolies, and they build out service everywhere, even the nonprofitable builds. Then we just stopped doing that when the bribes got big enough, and this problem came into being. All those shacks in the middle of nowhere have phone lines because of this regulation, which is totally still on the books, by the way.

Alternatively, we could reinstate NASA’s funding, and come up with an actually sane way to get Internet service to remote areas that doesn’t involve what is essentially “space littering”. Putting thousands of satellites into space for something that can be done way more practically on the ground makes every future thing you do in space harder, and severely hampers land-based astronomy. They have to track every nut and bolt in orbit for as long as they stay there, or one of those things will blow something to smithereens, even if it is small, like a literal nut or bolt.

We’re letting private entities potentially trap our children here on Earth by failing to regulate and enforce what can be up there. If you envision a future with space colonies and exploration, SpaceX and Starlink are not how you get there. I’m sure its doing a great job letting yokels in the swamp watch foxnews.com though, so there’s that.

It was the wrong kind of evil that doesn’t make them any money and hurts sales.

This is what happens when you societally refuse to “pierce the corporate veil”. The criminals actually performing the illegal activity wear articles of incorporation like a costume or disguise, then when they get busted, they throw that costume in a dumpster and get a new one.

I think we need Fred, Daphne, and Velma to find out who this criminal really is.

Theyre not sending their best. Some are criminals, some are fascists.

That’s the big deal about this. Since mobile gaming is a flaming dumpster of idlers, match-3’s, “gachas”, and slot machines, getting PC and console games to run on phones makes actual gaming on phones possible.

Microsoft is really testing Xeno’s Paradox with this repeated firing of large percentages of their workforce.

I guess I don’t see a good reason to trust either, and setting up a scenario where those are being compared like I must is a false dichotomy.

In this “personal data economy” hellscape we’ve created, harvesting people’s private data is the default. Unless a product is advertising protecting your privacy like their marketing job depends on it, rest assured, they’re doing the opposite. Any company that does not have an explicit policy against data profiling is actively doing it or is gearing up to.

Probably because that stuff would fail if you carried it around in your pocket with your keys and folded it 8000 times, too.
