Prof. Sam LawlerAlso, in case anyone is counting, Starlink is now 63% of all active satellites.
2 out of ever 3 satellites up there now are owned by that awful billionaire. He effectively controls Low Earth Orbit. That should terrify everyone.
...just in case anyone needs more to be terrified of. Sorry.
You know what you can do? Not buy Starlink internet. (And if Starlink is your only option, write to them as a customer and tell them that you are concerned about their safety practices on the ground and in orbit, and they need to make fewer satellites with longer functional lifetimes)
Ms. Que Banh@sundogplanets Do you know Musk tries to gain influence with some rather naive leftist groups by offering them free Starlink gear for their direct actions/protest work? I know because he offered & then donated several full Starlink setups to activists in BC. People took them out of desperation because other communications gear was seized by RCMP CIRG. I heard similar things had happened with Starlink in NZ & a few places in South America too.
ITsec Agentur@PhoenixSerenity @sundogplanets WTF? That is evil.
@itsec_agentur It was pretty darn awful having to hear some naive activists praise the kindness & generosity of Musk.
I got called a downer, when I tried to talk some critical sense into folks, when warning people to not use the gear & why it's dangerous/likely a setup & not true charitable kindness gestures from a fascist/racist billionaire.

@PhoenixSerenity That is bad.
@itsec_agentur It's often how some rich people can fool some not so rich people. By pretending to care/by "donating" when they're the evil ones doing many things that are killing humans & destroying living environments.
@PhoenixSerenity It sounds straight out of a story of @pluralistic
While the easy part is unfortunately very easy for me to imagine, I am wondering how can it be that some folks is still so naive?

@itsec_agentur @pluralistic Too many people are still too credulous. They can be blinded by celebrities/expensive gear donations.
