nivenkos , to technology in FCC Denies Starlink Low-Orbit Bid for Lower Latency

The government and corporations are the same class of people. The government could have prevented that with more conditions and involvement in the grants - but they didn’t because they’ll get kick-backs from their friends later on.

To make it competitive with local Internet, so all services work well. On high latency connections lots of stuff like websockets, etc. will struggle too.

I like that you can follow scientists and authors directly at the source though.

What about rural farmers’ children who want a good education? What about Cubans who are denied deep-sea cables service by the USA?

This is incredible technology that can help tens of millions of people.

“Just be a rich urban American” isn’t a good answer for the rest of the world’s population.

What is the actual technical reasoning? These all have active tracking, I can’t imagine it ever being an issue for missions (compared to defunct Soviet satellites with no tracking, like Kosmos 2221 and Kosmos 1408).

It’d be cool if Starlink could also be used to replace some base stations, although I guess the huge power requirements are an issue there.

It’s a shame to see technology held back due to political interference like this though. Hopefully China will achieve it instead. Imagine how much this can help the developing world - like high-speed internet for Cuba (if the USA doesn’t block it) and rural Nicaragua, etc.

nivenkos , to asklemmy in If reddit were to die how do you think it will happen?

This has already happened. Just the niche communities haven’t migrated away yet.

nivenkos , to linux in Advice on switching from Kubuntu to EndeavourOS?

It’ll be fine, I’d argue Arch is actually more “stable” in the ordinary sense since it is simpler - in that partial upgrades are not allowed. So you never end up in a complicated mess like aptitude can be.

I’ve used Arch for over a decade now, and have only had issues 3 or 4 times (usually from the nvidia driver).

nivenkos , to piracy in Free ProtonVPN now doesn't allow selection of specific servers and split-tunneling in its client (+ workaround for Android)

Yeah, for both OpenVPN and Wireguard.

On Linux you can do this with full control via network namespaces. I use vopono to automate it - github.com/jamesmcm/vopono

But if you can afford it I’d recommend paying for Proton’s services as they offer a lot together, or a low-end VPS (where you could do it yourself, although be careful to find ones that don’t ban hosting Wireguard, etc. for example). Both are really useful if you want to test making something local available on the Internet e.g. ports for multiplayer games or a webserver prototype.

nivenkos , to technology in EU Commission fines Apple over €1.8 billion over abusive App store rules for music streaming providers

IIRC it’s because it comes from before when Apple was sued over charging 25-30% of all eBooks sales while pushing iBooks.

It was a while ago though so hard to find good sources now.

nivenkos , to linux in HDMI Forum Rejects Open-Source HDMI 2.1 Driver Support Sought By AMD - Phoronix

This stops them releasing a more powerful home version though. As SteamOS/Linux will not be able to support modern HDMI2.1 features.

nivenkos , to asklemmy in What do you believe was the best era of the Internet and why?

The 2000s for sure - from early online games and MMORPGs to a lot of forums, when Slashdot and Reddit were good, the start of Wikipedia, etc.

There was more optimism around everyone communicating with eachother internationally, and fostering communities. Nowadays it feels everything is dominated by a few big monopolies, and there’s a lot more censorship.

nivenkos OP , to technology in I Wrote What? Google's AI-Powered Libel Machine

It’s definitely newsworthy when the results are being incorporated into search engines like Bing.

So that makes it okay for massively popular LLM models to spread defamatory lies about him?
