I could see LoRa radio nodes making deep-forest IoT sensors possible. Have a solar station with starlink provide internet access, then use it as a LoRa (or other packet radio) modem for a couple-mile radius of sensors. Each sensor package could be a fairly cheap box with sensor, solar power and a radio. Would be super easy to deploy hundreds of those, all served by the same completely autonomous satellite station, and cheap to replace failing hardware (just see which nodes stop talking and send replacements when a bunch fail).
As much as I love animals (more than most people I meet), as a species we must value human life over animal life to some extent. Suffering for corporate exploitation? No, that’s cruel and evil. Minimal suffering in an organism to save a human life? I wish there was a way to keep it from being sentient (so no suffering is felt), but I believe it’s a fair trade for a human life. But yes, we must always strive to minimize the suffering we cause.
Yeah, that’s the right decision here. I’m all for open forums but anti-vax stuff is likely against the terms of service (false medical advice from non-credentialed amateurs with a political agenda). YouTube is a publisher, there’s no such thing as an “open forum” as any such place would be quickly overrun with racists and fascists, etc. It’s simply a matter of how consistent and unimposing the rules for removal can be (like Lemmy) vs arbitrary removal for a political agenda (like a news station). And any effective rules set would remove anti-vax content.

No malware was noticed but I’d use uBlock and a VPN, disable JavaScript, and a good antivirus at a minimum…
Fair take. I just always considered Twitter a shithole to begin with. I don’t give him the honor of renaming it because he thinks his kids shouldn’t get the same rights as a software package in that regard.
