Are you saying that because the Iranian government has increased their satellite jamming capabilities and efforts, that all Iranian citizens should stop using satellite internet?
Or are you under the impression that because the government may be jamming signals in one, or multiple different locations, that they’re jamming all frequencies, in all places, at all times?
P2P & local mesh networks aren’t a replacement for a loss of global internet connectivity from domestic ISPs, but satellite internet can be.
I have Unbound configured on my pihole, it’s been running fine for years.
Their user base is almost exclusively tech savvy people, the same people who are most opposed to AI.
I think this move signals that they believe we have nowhere else to go, and they’re daring us to go fuck ourselves, because fuck you, what are you going to do, use Chrome?
Yes, yes I will, well Chromium forks.
In general, I prefer the look and feel of chromium-based browsers, but I use Firefox and Firefox forks for the reasons that I’m sure everyone here is aware of.
If those reasons go away, I’ll just switch to Vivaldi as my primary browser. I won’t be happy about it, but if Firefox becomes another AI slop project. I might as well go with the browser whose UX I prefer.
Like in a kennel…?

That is depressing.
You would torture yourself to make a point on Lemmy?
Please, go right ahead.

No, but he does play one on YouTube.
I’m deeply offended that you’re posting Steve’s personal propaganda claiming he’s a comedian.
That wasn’t built around agentic AI integration.
This will be.
At best, DDG results are only 33% less shitty than Google’s, but the UI is 2000% better.
It’s systemic, and whether or not it’s perpetrated directly by big tech, they are the primary beneficiaries i.e. increased ad sales.
This is a problem that requires regulation, which means it will not be addressed meaningfully, as that won’t happen anytime soon.
Not entirely true, but necessarily false either.
Projectivy launcher for Android TV is great and will remove home screen ads, and provide a much more streamlined interface overall.
Apple TV is really nice though, clean, smooth, and stable. I honestly would recommend that to most people, especially if they already have Apple products.
There were backups!
Unfortunately, they were located three rows and two racks down from their source.
In their defense, they clearly never thought the building would burn down.
And let’s be fair to them, who’s even heard of lithium batteries catching fire?
This was a once in a millennia accident, something you can’t anticipate, and therefore can’t plan for.
Unless you’re talking about off-site backups. Then maybe they could have planned for that.
But who am I to judge?
I have no idea what you’re going on about.
It’s not a matter of betrayal, it was a video revealing another area of influence in society that is now controlled behind the scenes by private equity.
Whose work was I shitting on? I was shaming people who were down voting that very well sourced and informative video, that documented private equity’s quiet takeover of major YouTube channels.
Maybe you should review the comment thread and see if you meant to respond to someone else, because that’s the most charitable explanation I can come up with for your responses to me.
I didn’t single out any particular YouTube channel for individual scorn. My comment was in reference to that very well sourced video about private equity buying up / investing many YouTube channels, of which they provided sources for in the description of the video.
The video which made the accusations, not me, provided sources for all of the claims.
Did you even look?
Sorry, that was rhetorical, obviously you did not look.
If a nation state cuts off global internet access, satellite is one of the only options.
That doesn’t change just because it’s not ideal, or because governments have countermeasures.
