seems crazy they would just give the starlink and say "ok enjoy!" and not give them small small doses of bandwidth that slowly increase as they progress in a training class. You don't give someone a gun with no training!
- talldayo 2y ago> give them small small doses of bandwidth that slowly increase as they progress in a training class. Uh... why? It's not Starlink's job to prevent culture shock. Ultimately it's up to the local jurisdiction to realize and implement whatever sort of system you're suggesting, but if your village just got electricity do you think people would advocate for power rations? This is sensationalist reporting on a phenomenon you and I have lived as a daily reality for over a decade. What ivory tower do we sit on, such that we throw stones at tribals watching Pornhub and using TikTok? Good lord.

- andrewfromx 2y agoNot Starlink's job correct, but the wealthy altruist who donated it. Would it be ok for a wealthy altruist to give other potentially dangerous and addictive things all at once with no ramp up period? I think it's fine to let them slowly get into watching Pornhub and using TikTok but it isn't very nice to just throw them into the deep end and say swim! How about internet scams too. With no experience they are sitting ducks for emails from a wealthy king that just needs money to unlock the funds.
- talldayo 2y agoOh no, internet scams! What if one of them loses their 12 year old World of Warcraft account, or their roughly $12 USD in unbanked currency! This is like worrying about Indian villages getting power because they might electrocute themselves. There are bigger fish to fry and you are absolutely being exploited by outrage pornography.
