The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

King Charles is worse as a person than most of the UK government, for Musk's declared values (I mean, not advertised, but even of the world domination kind) too.

What exactly do you mena by that? Would he not be the kind of leader Musk wants or something?

He's a bigoted corrupt type, of the kind who are friends with half the small dictators and petty monarchs in the world. Musk seems to be over that, with the way Starlink is aimed to become some sort of "planetary cell network" in addition to "planetary internet".

I mean, despite the way many people hate Musk, he and people similar to him seem to be interested in moving resolution of conflicts from battlefields to capital dimension, which is good.

But considering they haven't yet managed to do that - licking up to King Charles may be in line with the rest.

Starlink is a means to censor and spy on people.

How's that different from any ISP?
