Because you doubt I’ll grasp… Why?

I’m not going to read

Heh

It is true. It's not a ruling on birthright citizenship but it does stop the injunction against it.

Edit to explain because I doubt you grasp: Without the injunction he's free to act on a birthright citizenship ban unless sued by individuals or states on the behalf of said individuals. So over 20 states have no limit to this executive order pausing the deportation of people born in the US because they haven't sued the federal government for breaking the 14th amendment.

If anything this is far worse than just birthright citizenship because Trump can write executive orders far faster than lawsuits can be brought against the administration and lower federal courts can't file injunctions against the administration, states or individuals have to sue.

Again: The supreme court did give the ok, saying that it comes down to states and individuals to stop it because it removed the lower courts' ability to file injunctions.

Both sides arguments are actually pretty enlightened. You can have criticisms of both candidates and vote for harm reduction. If anything the inability to criticize both sides for where they are the same is the same type of belligerent as MAGA. Harris running on building a fucking wall was a fucking disgrace.

But fuck not blaming voters for their stupid fucking decisions and fuck the sham of a democracy the US electoral system is. FPTP and WTA elections in the modern age are a fucking disgrace as well as no equal representation and voting with money.

Part of me wants to argue this isn't a cycle of demand and is instead capitalism. The trades didn't pay poorly because there were too many people as much as people willing to work for less and the employer will pocket the difference. I admit this is extremely pedantic of me to split hairs here but people have an effective floor for how much they can work for. Coal miners weren't being told to code because there were too many coal miners but that they could never work for as little as the machines that were replacing them.

To be clear I'm not saying AI is a replacement for programmers, I'm not able to see the future here, but capitalists will attempt to to replace any labor with machines if possible.

Didn't 2024 make the 1.5 degree mark and we're just checking if it wasn't a fluke at this point?

Yeah, it sure can do it in a way nobody else can, the most wasteful way. But I appreciate you shifting the goalposts from Ukraine because being used in war is a reason why it is a bad ISP. See, if a war breaks out and a power can destroy them, we're talking global breakdown of internet via starlink. If a war breaks out on the other side of the world a traditional isp keeps working.

Then there's also the piss poor service, the poor number of total connections, the lack of redundancy, the cost, the ecological damage of launching rockets every week so that someone is the middle of nowhere can jack it with high speed internet, being disabled when a nazi feels like it...

Lol "Starlink is a bad ISP" "BuT wHaT aBoUt Ukraine!!?!?!?!?" "Mostly irrelevant to this conversation" A true lemmy experience.

I love how you completely ignore how starlink is only viable for ukraine because the US military industrial complex.

There was satellite internet before Starlink and Starlink should be banned for all the 5ghz interference it creates

This is a really weird "ends always justify the means" because I could also say it wouldn't be necessary if Ukraine never gave up their nuclear weapons and how I doubt the Ukrainians would disagree. This is also further impacted by the protection of Starlink by the US military because if it wasn't an act of war against the US to destroy them, Russia could take down low earth orbit satellites pretty easily.

But none of this is relevant to how Starlink is not an ISP, it is not infrastructure it is a fleeting wasteful service.

Those places can get internet from satellites outside of low earth orbit that is simply slower with higher latency.
