If only there were a mesh network of satellites allowing remote internet-disconnected areas to access the web which WASN’T run by the egomaniacal fucktoy of a despotic psychopath…
SpaceX has opened up access for Iranians (source). What are you complaining about exactly?
And it was apparently promptly mostly scrambled by the regime which also managed to confiscate a lot of the antennas.
I read somewhere (don’t have at hand the source) that Spacelink is being actively jammed
This seems impractical to do over the whole country, perhaps viable over a small area.
That we still hate the egomaniacal fucktoy
Just recently heard about Snowflake browser addon for sharing bandwith
While Snowflake is a pretty cool and worthwhile extension to run, I don’t think having a proxied connection to Tor will help Iranians if they just don’t have an Internet connection at all.
And my dad just went to visit Iran for two months…
It’s apparently a beautiful place to visit with great people. But it’s probably a little premature.
Good move. The violence were caused by external US/Mossad influencers/agents, and they rely on the internet to disperse their garbage propaganda.
Bullshit. They sure as hell will make the most of the situation though.
I’ve recently assembled in my head one story, that went on for 13 years, that is, roughly speaking, connected to antisemitism (also cowardice).
I won’t go into details, but honestly Mossad and the state of Israel have a reason of existence bigger than my mood swings and feelings on the scale of this decade or that, and I can understand the ethical logic that, if there’s going to be plenty of bloodshed anyway, then rather it’d be their way.
I might have said very rough things about the state of Israel many times, but with all its crimes its existence means that some Jewish people don’t have to live at someone’s mercy saying “thank you daddy” every day. I’d drink to that if it weren’t work time.
Is it part of the ToS of lemmy.ml to regularly post bs takes?
Dessalines bans you if you don’t conform to a very narrow set of beliefs. Dissent is not allowed.
I can ask the Iranian side of my family to explain exactly how full of shit you are. Wouldn’t be for constructive reasons; I doubt you can be taught anything. But it sure would be entertaining.
A lot of communists here are like Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Their existing living condition is shit and they think that going to a different place will magically fix all their problems because everything just has to be better there.
