Probably not but it would be funny.

I say we let him build up a huge satellite fleet and then force him to sell a huge chunk of it under antitrust law.

They just need to try and land on one, that's the trick.

Well, I drive a Kia Soul, so I'm probably not one to be throwing stones.

For real. I love those ugly things.

You don't consider credit card info sensitive? May I have yours?

Nope. Once upon a time long ago I thought I wanted a Tesla. Now? I'd rather drive a Ford Focus.

Not even so much that, I just think at a certain critical mass the law of averages kicks in and you just kind of get... the status quo. Like, a good share of people are decent, another good share are so-so, another good share are kind of nasty. So, put all that together and you get something that looks a lot like humanity in general: always just slightly disappointing.

It's rare to find a community that doesn't corrupt the original itent it was built around. Look at organized religion. Doesn't speak well to humanity in general I'm afraid.

I think they're talking about a different trial. There are so many.

Genuinely curious, this isn't snark, what do you suggest in the US that's better than the NY Times? I mean, NPR, of course, but I can't really detect much of a difference between the two.

Meh, if it drops it drops. I'll never have the relationship to social media I used to, because I don't want it anymore. If Lemmy can give me a few posts a day of things I might not normally see, that's enough for me. It doesn't need to be the next Reddit or whatever. After quitting Reddit I'm getting back into things I haven't done in years. I don't need that again.
