echo64 , to Technology in FCC Denies Starlink Low-Orbit Bid for Lower Latency

Shockingly, you don't need to dig. And handwaving away the cost, including the environmental cost of infinite rocket launches forever because "oh magical technology will save us some day" does not help your case.

echo64 , to Technology in FCC Denies Starlink Low-Orbit Bid for Lower Latency

You might have a point if launching rockets was cheaper, but launching infinite rockets forever is not cheaper. The rockets fall out of the sky. So we're talking about one upfront cost or a cost forever.

The alternative is not "higher orbit satellites", it's "put wires on the earth".

Firing infinite rockets that fall out of the sky in a year is a bad, wasteful option that only exists because the American government is not under enough pressure to fix its infrastructure problems.

the rest of the world, even the big countries with lots of remote citizens, they used wires not infinite rockets.

They got subsidies and were recently denied some. Don't pretend they never got any thank you.

It is quite literally how it works.

In addition, Starlink is not a good solution. It requires an infinite amount of rockets sent into low earth orbit forever, at a heavy subsidised cost paid for by American taxpayers.

You should be pushing for long-term solutions, not ones that literally fall out of the sky six months after the subsidies stop.

echo64 , to Technology in Apple will allow users to download apps directly from a developer’s website, in latest EU App Store rule change

There are so, so many shitty things about Apple’s implementation here, but this isn’t one. I believe the EU should blast Apple as hard as legally possible for the rest of their implementation which is intentionally terrible.)

echo64 , to Technology in Apple will allow users to download apps directly from a developer’s website, in latest EU App Store rule change

What's your logic here for this not being terrible?

echo64 , to Technology in Apple will allow users to download apps directly from a developer’s website, in latest EU App Store rule change

To use this feature, developers will have to opt into the new App Store business terms, which means they will pay the Core Technology Fee of €0.50 for each first annual install over one million in the past 12 months.

echo64 , to Technology in TikTok faces calls for ban amid claims of anti-Israel ‘indoctrination’

  1. China isn't an adversary. It's a competitor to America. You aren't at war with China, and both China and America heavily depend on each other and are strong trading partners. This is your propaganda talking.

  2. Lol no, Facebook and Google collect orders of magnitude more data about you, your life, your job, your friends and colleagues, your medical status, everything.

This has big "oh no no, there's no racism in my community, I would know" vibes.

And thr sinophobia is sadly just as strong there, maybe worse. Stop Asian hate is a campaign for a reason.

  • it's not owned and controlled by Americans. This makes American billionaires unhappy, and the liked of Zuckerberg would be very happy for the removal of comepetiton.
  • America has a sinophobia problem, I know a lot of Americans here don't see it, and get mad if you bring it up, but from the outside looking in, it's very obvious.
  • Policy makers in America seem scared of young people being politically motivated, and a lot of that is happening via tiktok. It stopped the red wave, it's now impacting democratic polling, they're losing control.

Sooo... how does that relate to your point? That you can supposedly do what op is saying in America because freedom?

The native apps are functionally webapps, they are not "native". You should be able to tell that if you "work in mobile".

You have the freedom, if you have money. Otherwise you don't. You just have the freedom to be homeless and starve
