The granddaddy of science fiction and futurism channels is Science Fiction and Futurism with Isaac Arthur. The channel has content for days about all kinds of shenanigans humans could be getting up to in space and beyond.

A close second is futurist and science fiction author John Michael Godier. His voice will either weigh your soul down to the core of the earth or you'll find it grating... there's really no in-between.

Worse case scenario... you get a horse.

Living on the Southern Atlantic seaboard here, a lot of our homeless are from New Jersey and Maryland... usually get a big wave of them come winter; local governments in the northeast shipping them down so they don't die from exposure in the colder months.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

Thanks! That's the shit for which I come to Lemmy. Genuinely, thank you.

I work in broadcast communications and we use geosync link ups all the time for various shit. I'm pretty sure I know more about satellite communications than a normie, but I'm blind to the intricacies of use case when it comes to stuff like this.

PornHub has been doing this. A little popup comes on screen when you pause the video for the first time.

Is there any way to improve that? Or is it a hard limit due to physics?

We could and should be doing both ground and orbital radio telescope observations. One really interesting idea I've seen floated is to put one on the far-side of the moon; it'd be shielded from all our radio emissions but, of course, it would be somewhat suspectable to interference from the sun for weeks at a time.

What I've never understood about Starlink is how it's better than existing satellite internet beamed from geosynchronous craft... like, geosync is crowded (especially over North America and Europe), but it's not so crowded we couldn't put a couple more transponders up there. Objects in geosync rarely have the astronomical side effects that Starlink is apparently causing. It would even solve the Starlink issue of having to have an expense af receiver with active tracking... just nail up a stationary ku-band dish that doesn't need to move ever. This is already solved technology.

Dunno. I've got it on Blu-ray... that's... 4k...? I'm not sure.
