Ukraine
Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
-
Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like ThreadReaderApp.com or Nitter, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

Don't just complain about paywalls. If you encounter one, be a sport and link to an archived version instead. Use Firefox + Cookie AutoDelete + uBlock Origin with the annoyances filters enabled and https://filterlists.com/lists/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter to avoid encountering many in the first place.

Absolutely insane that we can have an individual who owns and controls a global satellite network of thousands of nodes, and freely uses it to affect the lives of millions without oversight or consequence. Can't vote him out, can't stop it from floating over your country, or any country, can't do shit about it.
One stupid asshole gets all this power over Earth, because Americans allow him to have it.
Destroy the satellites. They have no jurisdiction up there.
De-orbit, sure. But any other destroying and you're just spreading the trash around. Possibly causing Kessler syndrome.
Idk; I'm not so sure humanity deserves access to space right now... maybe we should have a little time out for a few centuries.
Starlinks need active boosting to stay in orbit. Debris would self-deorbit in a few months.
Ah, but the ones de-orbiting as they age are the most likely cause of the ozone layer being destroyed faster than it regenerates again!
If the starlink trash starts kessler syndrome, a lot more stuff is gonna de orbit.
But it would prevent any new influx
He can put twice as many up to replace them. Dude owns the planet. That’s pretty much it.
Any country on the planet can feel free to assassinate him. Literally, anyone who wants to should feel entirely free to blast his plane out of the sky the second he comes into your airspace. Hell, send a hit squad to Austin and hunt him down in the streets. If you don't want one person to have that power, take it from him.
I really hope someone does it.
Someone should raid a starlink office and steal their keys and take over the network.
There's stuff we can do, we better get to it quick
