If you're referring to China, that's a new cold war. Russia can't even beat it's much smaller, much poorer neighbor in a full on war.

> That and its trust and geopolitical influence even among allies Yeah but all of that is orthogonal to the war itself. It's not like Trump needed to threaten to invade Greenland to go to war with Iran.

I get what you're saying, but poor people want cheap internet/phone connectivity. They can't afford telescopes anyways. And starlink (and the like) have more uses beyond good remote connectivity. They're a big reason why

It's not all that hard to curate a feed without that stuff. Block people who annoy you, mute words/phrases that annoy you, and follow people you enjoy.

Most telemetry is more along the lines of "user spent N minutes on platform, clicked on these things, looked at these other things" etc etc. And the primary way devs use this data is by aggregating across all users and running a&#

The reason that feature gets implemented is not because the devs think users will like it ... they know users don't want it, but it drives revenue and pays salaries.

I think we've all become to numb and jaded. This is the first moon mission in 50 years and the furthest any human has ever been from Earth.

Sure but code can't capture everything. Maybe with enough comments I guess, but not code alone. For example, code won't tell you that this feature was timeboxed hence this edgecase was not supported

Yes, I think people who are anti squash merge are those who don't work in Github and use a patch based system or something different. If you're sending a patch for linux, yes it makes sense that you want to send one complete, well
