Except it’s cross posts, which isn’t even a repeat, it’s just the same content. They just got their panties in a twist because the world didn’t work the way they wanted it to for 3 whole minutes.

You are all talking about “happy path” situations. Yeah, if the people involved are honest you’re absolutely right.

I’m talking about when a government funded effort, with agents in all reaches of the world, make a concerted effort to get their hands on tech, and trick that tech into working for them.

Are you saying that geolocation of a starlink unit is difficult from the starlink satellite network?

In 99% of cases? No. In the case of a state actor intentionally wanting to obsfucate the location? Absolutely.

Do you see a moral dimension to this?

You’re either missing the point or ignoring it. If you bothered to read around that sentence, you’d realize that in context it has nothing to do with morals, and everything to do with other companies with a financial incentive failing to do it. If a company loses out on 75+% of their profit when I pay for YouTube out of India, and fail to stop me despite active efforts, how do you expect a company to manage it against a state actor.

This explains nothing. Russia infiltrates governments and your answer is “yeah, well starlink should just be honest.”

IconTwitter seems to fit the naming convention better.

Any element can be made into a state you can eat, drink, or breathe. Doesn’t mean you’ll survive the attempt, nor even properly get to attempt it.

Blocking telemetry would not include blocking 8.8.8.8 though.

And those can be blocked and even redirected at the router level. Though not as simple as spinning up a pihole.

Well, yeah. The majority of IT people understand unionizing would benefit them. It’s the work, the fear, and the unknown holding them back.

I’d vote to unionize in a heartbeat, but I’m not going to kid myself by pretending I’d put in the legwork to get that ball rolling. I have too much else going on in my life, I can barely hold together what responsibilities I do have.
