The guy’s a chode – agreed. But… it would be nice to be able to fucking stream Spotify on the train.
Yeah nah I would rather just have no signal thanks
Let’s all cut our noses off to spite our faces because we don’t like the guy who owns the company.
Probably would use it to be fair. Some of those train journeys are long and slow, and 5G can be patchy as anything. The satellites are already in the sky, the trains already have the receivers. Me watching YouTube videos for half an hour isn’t going to contribute much to the downfall of society I don’t think.
Agreed that it would be better if someone nicer owned the company but Starlink provides a whole load of benefits to a lot of people. Especially in countries where there isn’t reliable communications infrastructure or it’s being affected by conflict. It’s genuinely a benefit to society despite who owns it and we should be able to celebrate that and support it.
There is no way in hell I would use that service.
But for others – the lure of the latest social media brain fart will have them logging on.
There’s no fucking way I’d ever use this. I’m not using the products of a fascist idiot.
Looking at it from another perspective, Starlink is an amazing idea and will provide decent internet access to places that you wouldn’t even think could be connected. Just because the owner is a cringey dickhead doesn’t mean we shouldn’t invest in the technology. It’s not like *he’s* the one building the satellites, or working in the data centres, or doing the customer service.
Edit: Oops, didn’t realise that even though I’m on the same side as you all, that you’ll *still* downvote me just because I support wider internet access. Tell you what then, instead of downvoting me, how about YOU build YOUR OWN version of Starlink and we’ll all use that. Bunch of plebs.
Turns out, all it took for the government to financially support a Nazi was cheap internet
Get fucked. I’ll read a paperback.
I heat Scotrail are bulk buying those “I ordered it before Musk went Nazi” stickers.
Naw get tae fuck. Don’t wanna support a facist cunt, thanks
Because, whatever you might think of him, his companies actually make decent products
Scotland you’re idiots even thinking of getting involved with Musk
Knowing government contracts, this was probably agreed two years ago.
Disappointing to see Scot rail partnering with a Nazi when there are plenty of alternative satellite Internet companies, such as OneWeb, HughesNet, Viasat, Project Kuiper, and the European IRIS² initiative.
Every single one of the people in this thread will use the WiFi provided on the trains when they use them. They know it, you know it.
But I won’t, Musk bad, please give me internet good boy points.
Same raging people are kicking about with Nike trainers on supporting slavery, give it a rest
Bin it.
Some of you need to look up what the hall marks of a national socialist actually are and see how many of those you can attribute to Musk.
Some of the “love-me” patter in this sub Reddit is so terribly cringe.
This is incredibly disappointing. We shouldn’t be supporting that Fascist moron Elon Musk.
