That’s a very plausible theory actually.

I mean, most of the points you came out with are nonsense, and not worth dignifying with a response.

Especially considering a dead Starlink satellite will deorbit and burn up in under a decade, because they fly so low.

Serious question, have you ever been outside of a major city? Because that’s the type of ignorance you typically see from someone who’s spent their entire life in an urban environment.

You’re not running fibre out to every remote settlement, high country station, or remote farmhouse, most of these places aren’t even connected to the grid.

Never mind the many marine vessels that have Starlink.

I don’t see how regulations can help him there, especially given the nature of the Web. Bluesky can always move offshore, beyond the reach of the US authorities.

I also imagine both Bluesky and Mastadon users will tell x users, loudly and clearly, to fuck off.

Oh definitely, although the federated nature of the platform means it’s easy to block the angry Internet communists.

Personally, I just block all the ML domains, nothing good comes from there.

Yep, nothing but the dregs will remain.

There is a clear successor to X now, Bluesky, which means anyone not happy with X knows what their best option is.

My guess is, when X and Bluesky are roughly even in terms of active users, X’s user base will start to collapse and there will be a mass exodus to Bluesky.

HDMI is reverse compatible a long way back, almost every device will fall back to a standard that doesn’t require such an expensive cable.

Come on man, this is simple stuff.

It’ll take a while, but I do believe we’re watching the downfall of Twitter.

And I suspect, now that Bluesky is the clear successor to Twitter, the process will only accelerate.

I’m thinking that the user will get a notification that the cable they’re using isn’t the correct one.

That’s just it, Facebook is kinda the default option, and almost everyone has an account there. It’s why so many clubs arrange everything through a Facebook page.

I think this is the reason a number of standards are going to active cables, so the device will know the cable isn’t up to standard.

Or in the case of USB-C, so it doesn’t catch fire after having five amps cranked through it.

I don’t use the platform, why is Discord so terrible?

80 gigabit is a crazy amount of bandwidth, and it seems like HDMI will leapfrog that?

Yeah, avoiding being served is something no court is particularly keen on.

I’m currently streaming YouTube on the TV as I type this.

It’s where all the good documentary and factual content has gone lately.

We also need to start mocking people who watch AI slop.

The trick is typically to give them two or three stars, and be a bit subtle in telling people the truth.

Could well be in debt up to their eyeballs and barely making a profit, for all we know.

I think the actual truth is, this guy isn’t a criminal mastermind, and he got caught.

He also looks a lot like the surveillance photo.
