    Conservatives always side with evil. Always.

    It is immoral to maintain a relationship with any conservative. They are truly, deeply evil and should be treated as such.

    When your air defense depends on a satellite service whose speed limit can apparently change without explanation, you’ve outsourced more than connectivity. SpaceX says nothing changed, Ukraine says its interceptors are being crippled. Either way, this is a spectacular advertisement for why critical military infrastructure needs independent alternatives.

      It’s more a look at how monopolies shouldn’t exist. No other company is even close to SpaceX when it comes to putting satellites into orbit. By a huge margin. One company shouldn’t be able to turn off internet to an entire group.

        I hate Musk. I follow Ukraine closely, donate, did my part to hold the flag on reddit place. Your argument is flawed.

        So SpaceX should be punished for innovating where others failed? They invested billions developing technology nobody else can deliver, even after copying. I can hate the man and admire the progress. If Musk is preventing competition, hold him accountable. But success isn’t a monopoly violation. That’s stupid.

        Is Musk a ratfuck dick for interfering with Ukraine’s operations? Absolutely. But that doesn’t mean governments should be able to compel a private company to deploy its inventions, property and services in support of military operations against its will. Fascism much?

        The real problem is relying on private companies for critical infrastructure. But what other choice did Ukraine have? Innovation and war beget innovation.

        Exactly. The problem isn’t simply that SpaceX has enormous market power. It’s that governments allowed critical infrastructure to become dependent on a single private company. When one CEO can potentially influence military operations by changing service conditions, that’s no longer just a competition issue.

        I repeat here again: I do not care if eicker looks like if they use an LLM to create their comments, and as you can see others think so too. The posted content always is from reputable sources, and their comments highlight the takeaway of the articles very well (especially for those who do not read the posted links).

        There is a distinct difference between using this stuff to flood the web with slop and using it to give people a quick overview over the posted article.

          source? just me reading it?

          it is clearly generated based on the cadence, vocabulary and structure.

          you can have a go at it and run these comments through some LLM detector services.

          be thankful that you don’t have to interact with LLM that much that these don’t become as evident to you.
