Me and your cat have no idea what you're talking about...

I love him

And his wife?

... to shreds you say?

This is the one! I have three of them and the cats love them.

Absolutely, but Musk specifically said weather wouldn't be a problem like regular satellites, which was just not true from my experience.

Overall though, I just think people should be aware that it's not a good replacement for if you already have access to other Internet services. I've seen people discuss how they want to ditch Comcast for it. It's a lot more expensive and definitely not as consistent. Again, it totally has an audience and purpose, pros and cons.

I had Starlink too and it was definitely unreliable. It's also absolutely atrocious in any kind of weather like heavy rain or snow.

It's better than nothing for sure, but definitely look into it more, especially if you'll be relying on it for work.

I'd love to discuss this more if you'd be interested. I teach mass communications and visual literacy courses at a university and have over a decade of experience. I'm always interested in discussing these things further, as media literacy is extremely important and we can only educate others and make improvements with our literacy skills through discussion, learning, and practice.

Could you tell me more about the authors you mention and where you got the information from?

One thing I like about Media Bias Fact Check is that their methodology is transparent and clear. Yes, there is a certain level of subjectivity, as there is with any analysis like this. They utilize fact checking best practices and have ethical funding. Even their competitors rate them to be accurate and credible.

They are considered reliable not because people use them, but because of their methodologies, transparency, and factuality. Nothing is 100%, but it's a good resource in my opinion.

For Karl!

He looks so happy! My name suggestion is Rufus.

This article, and the source it links to, appears to be talking about the UK actually.

They look so warm and happy together!

Completely agree. Not only is it disturbing how little people care, but there's a far bigger picture.

Right now it's celebrities shilling products. What happens when it's political figures? What happens when the messages spread misinformation or violence?

It doesn't matter whether or not you fall for it as an individual. It will impact society. Full stop.

People need to be more understanding and compassionate. If you know so much and are so great at identifying these things and so technologically savvy, help educate those around you. Vote in every election, including local elections, to vote into power people who understand these issues and will act on the best interest of the people.
