FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK NOOOOO
@sundogplanets The commons do not belong to the commoners but to the lords. Corporations are the lords these days. We will eventually be able to list all of the commons...the national parks, the rivers, the air and, yes of course, the clear night sky...by a catalog of what has been plundered for the benefit of a few share holders. Not all of this plundering can be undone.
@sundogplanets
I read it had the effect of the light of a full moon. Not really that impressive right?
What's the intended use case? I read solar panels somewhere but that's pointless with that little extra light.
@sundogplanets @jonny “workers starving, markets so flush with cash that they have to throw it at geo-engineering projects that can’t make money but will upset _every single fucking remaining_ delicately balanced natural system.”
Literally the only reason I’m getting out of bed right now is because I’ve fully internalised the fact we live in a knockoff version of Cyberpunk 2027.
@sundogplanets here’s hoping the test is a colossal failure and the company goes bankrupt.
@sundogplanets joining Palantir in the category of “awful things named after Tolkien things.”
@sundogplanets Its about the financial gains. I very much doubt any sane person believes it will work but when they float it on the stock market they will make billions. The test project does not even have to work.
It needs to be shot down. A nation with space powers has permission to take them out.
@sundogplanets wtaf?
how does the rest if the world feel about this crap?
Since everyone that trump touches turns to shit I have high hopes that this approach will fail spectacularly. Especially since, as ideas go, this one is a hodgepodge of Dunning-Kruger AI output created by people with no knowledge.
@sundogplanets Eärendil-1.
yep. yep yep yep. is there something I can smash safely around the house, we need some busted pallets out back or something
@sundogplanets fingers crossed this fails spectacularly and all of the satellites explode on launch or something. that would be really funny
@sundogplanets are we going to a subscription service for sunlight access?!?
@sundogplanets Oh what the fuck. This is a disaster.
Would be ironic if there was a VEI 8 volcanic eruption just after these stupid satellites were launched 🤦♂️😟
