Ew. Gross.

The game has changed to paying Nazis for Internet now.

Don’t support nazis or the people that support nazis.

I’m good, thanks. Not going to pay for Fashlink.

It’s great tech that can change people’s lives in regions where internet isn’t accessible or really bad. It’s unfortunate that musk decided to go all out in being a pile of trash.

I absolutely hate that I have to use it, but my next best option is less than 5 Mbps.

And this is why virtual monopolies are bad and should be prevented. The Free Market™ can’t correct an error of this magnitude, because who has the money to launch their own competing satellite network of that scale? Only other billionaires, and they’re pretty chummy these days.

I’m surprised nobody has hit him with an antitrust suit over it.

The other way of fixing this would be to make starlink share the network with other companies. We don’t want 10 companies have their own starlink in the sky at once.

Ah cool, tracking by Nazis. Lovely. The apple fanboys don’t care tho.

as usual, I’m going to not buy one even stronger. also as usual new phones offer literally nothing over the past few generations. The only reason I would buy a new one is total destruction of my existing one, or linux phones becoming ready for daily driving in both hardware and software

Only give Nazis your money if they get naked in the gas chamber with you.

you have to hold the phone in a very specific and awkward way to get a signal tho.

Does this mean you can’t take the iPhone to India?
