I assume he must have gone back to his hotel room afterwards and just screamed in frustration for a solid hour. Or had a workout of with a punching bag with Trump and Vance’s faces on them.
I’m truly astounded at the patience he showed during that event. It was infuriating to watch.
The Economist is a British newspaper. No Americans here.
If we’re going to have the Brave New World, at least let me have my soma and orgy-porgies. This version sucks.
Works great here, and my users are very happy with it. Not disputing your experience, just saying it’s not universal.
Could be a compatibility issue with amazon’s android fork? I have only used the android client on google pixel, samsung phones and AOSP builds.
My guess is signal leaving sweden means they would block sign-ups from swedish phone numbers. It would be very effective as most people won’t bother jumping through hoops to get a number from a different country.
I’m glad we’re working on replacing starlink, though AFAIK IRIS² won’t be ready until 2027 at the earliest.
I do think that with the increasing use of LEO satellites for drone control and the general breakdown of international agreements and institutions we’re seeing, the moratorium on weapons in space will not last much longer. Every player will work on anti-satellite systems to deny command-and-control links to the enemy.
The anti-satellite weapons we have today are mostly focused on taking down single satellites, and would not be practical against these mass swarms of LEO satellites. We’ll probably see a revival of ideas like EMPs in orbit to knock out large batches of satellites all at once. Obviously such a weapon would be indiscriminate and would take down everything within the blast radius.
