Kuiper internet satellites will form a mesh network using optical links

Great as if we needed more inefficient communication satellite systems made by tech illiterate billionaires, resulting in no benefit for anyone and ultimately only more garbage in orbit

You’re right. This kind of technology might be cool if we lived in a egalitarian world where the technology was a benefit for all humans and built thoughtfully.

Instead we live in an increasingly fascist hellworld where this shit is just going to be one of many competing projects by tech overlords who are just going to pollute our world with more garbage.
