who said anything about gaming? what if you work remotely and can’t afford rent? what if you feel unsafe around gatherings of people (including small towns)?

The original post I responded to was someone talking about how starlink lets them game in a rural RV. What about carbon emissions from thousands of rocket launches? What about atmospheric damage? What about astronomy? I’m saying the downsides don’t appear to be worth the upsides for these niche scenarios. Humanity survived just fine for quite some time before ultra remote Internet became a thing.

look, i hate it too. i don’t want these things in my night sky either, but just give us anti-social, edge-of-civilization dwellers some respect and recognition. we’re not trying to take any more than we need.
