SpaceX's highly paid lawyers responded to the hundreds of comments and oppositions submitted to the FCC in one letter, that basically shows they didn't actually read our petitions to deny.

And now we astronomers and dark sky advocates who are volunteering our time have to do a shitload more work to respond to their non-response. By Friday.
Fuck you, SpaceX.
@sundogplanets Pure evil. It makes me so angry

@sundogplanets I've been playing around with how that affects things like media availability, when devices are still common but most can't play physical discs. Working blu-ray/DVD players are now worth a lot of money; the people who had media ripping setups are now renting USB sticks with movies on them. We're basically back to sneakernet. Analog-to-digital conversion is particularly prized, because the only copy of a TV show in a 100-mile radius might be somebody's old VHS tape.
@pandabutter @sundogplanets IRL, I want SD cards to be the successor to BluRay. We need a way to own the media we pay for, and to access it offline, and SD cards are the best candidate I know of. And I’m pretty sure they could make readonly cards without too much trouble.
(And I want Wikipedia on an SD card)

@sundogplanets I once had to take a big corp to court (couldn't afford a lawyer, had to do all paperwork myself) and I ended up winning, simply (or also) because the 'big guys' were found in contempt of the court, because they just wouldn't supply proper responses (if any at all) so maybe just maybe their negligence might be of help to you down the track

@sundogplanets I would venture the guess that the letter was generated by xAI.

Yesterday I borrowed a book off @astrokiwi.bsky.social's bookshelf written by @annaleen. Feeling slightly homesick for Saskatchewan after a few weeks in New Zealand, I was DELIGHTED to find that the book begins with "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuGGNsE3_8Y and I'm totally going to channel that Saskatchewan pirate energy into the talks, writing, and meetings I have today fighting satellite pollution.
Aaaarrrr, Matey! Get it? Métis?
@sundogplanets @annaleen I know nothing about Saskatchewan, so in my head canon they have pirates on the rivers stealing fertilizer.
I'd love to visit someday. -

That seems to be a common response to valid questions… Avoid the question with a non-answer.
