    I’ll be short with you.: I don’t care how much nicer starlink is, putting that many satellites into low earth orbit all the time is not good for the climate. The few thousand people on ships at any given time can wait to stream high def porn or download it while at port. All the needed uses of the internet can be met via slow higher orbiting satellites.

      Lots of things are not necessary and are bad for the climate. You likely enjoy many of them. You start by reducing your own consumption.

          Frankly its just about as much as anyone should care

          Ohmmy’s comment is essentualy “its bad for the envirement” (as if its not true for everything) and “they should just deal with it as is” as an attempt to shutdown the arguement

          I very much dont see how it would have continued any other way (excludeing a few roundabouts)
