    Over promise and under deliver, the musk way. Fucking clown ass Nazi piece of shit. I know there’s not a lot of viable alternatives, but if you’re using a Nazi service, I lack sympathy when the Nazi raises your prices.

      Meanwhile the airlines rolling out “free Starlink WiFi” without so much as an asterix about who provides and controls the bits you’re sending through it.

      Imagine how much data musk will be able to glean getting free access to travelers internet habits and probably a lot more.

        If they’re offering “free Starlink WiFi” they are telling you who is offering it. If they are offering “free inflight WiFi” they are hiding it

          Unfortunately there’s still plenty of unencrypted traffic from normal usage (e.g. DoH is still fairly rare).

      Some places have to use starlink sadly, like the ones in remote zones and islands in the middle of the ocean

        Geo makes more sense for theses use cases. Yes you’ll have more ping. But for data dumps it matters not.

          What makes sense is the quality of service offered at the price point. There’s a reason why Starlink outcompeted Hughes so badly.

              The price point has been very much true, it is just early on the enshittification curve.

              With these price hikes, we’ll see.

              My point was that Hughes was really bad.
