  Starlink is massively profitable, look at their balance sheets. It’s very simple, their users pay them a lot of money to access the internet. Far, far more than the launch costs to maintain the constellation. Their defense launch business is also profitable, though I haven’t checked how much. The Starship development and stupid acquisitions (xai) have been a money pit though.

  This is actually one of the very few places that US tariffs make sense. (Not from a consumer perspective of course, but from a nationalist industry protection point of view.) The rest of the tariffs the US places are silly because there isn’t much other manufacturing in the US to protect.

  An operating system can lie about that though. The only reason it doesn’t is because of convention. There is no technical reason it couldn’t look like a different OS. Try changing your user agent, it’s that simple in most cases.

  But here’s the thing, nobody knows what operating system you choose to install. This regulation will be equally as effective as anti-pirating legislation has been, which is to say, essentially nil.

  Yes, Trump took more votes than Harris. ~77 million votes for Trump ~75 million votes for Harris ~90 million didn’t vote 77+90 million “stupid” people vs 75 million “smart” people. I think that easily qualifies for most people are stupid.
