       @mastodonmigration @licho We are so inconvenienced. Sat and telecom corps are fucked. Hell Id happily go back to writing letters and mailing floppy disks (ok SD cards) if we could end corporate monopolistic and surveillance power.

       @tomjennings @mastodonmigration @licho This is predominantly the lower orbits. GPS is here, but also most of the weather satellites and earth resources monitoring (think forests and crops). The major satellite links are in the geosynchronous orbits which are further out and heavily regulated and monitored because they are so valuable. It takes a lot of energy to get out there, so they should be safe.
