Suddenly Starlink just starts working in the territory of Ukraine occupied by Russia when it didn't before and he just knows nothing about it? Those terminals can geolocate themselves and be deactivated if they are used in an unauthorized territory. Which the occupied parts of Ukraine used to be.

If the market was competitive, people would just choose another product or service that didn't use such practices as you can clearly be profitable without doing this.

Until governments get serious about trust busting, it will keep happening. Companies that don't have to compete enshittify.

But as far as I can tell, that is exactly what the article implies. And AFAIK, Voyager is the only web app I use currently.

Sure. But a few republican voters might get the message. Republicans were historically the hawkish party, it must be difficult to square the circle that they are now basically the party supporting today's Hitler.

Would it work if the underlying OS doesn't support web apps?

Good heads up. Just turned off software updates so my Voyager don't break.

Good question. I guess they need to feel special. Russia is basically a country built from conquest and propaganda.

The only man desperate enough to give a platform to Putin to spout lies. Ukraine existed before Russia and the people have no common thread.

Moscow was founded by Scandinavians who were later run out of existence by the Mongol hordes.

Kiev stayed under the rule of the Kievan Rus from who Russia later stole the name Russia based on some fabricated story like the one Putin is pedaling here to hide the fact that their real history is one of slavery and subjugation under the Mongols.

It is a good talking point against Republicans though.

The comparison is an apt one.

But to be pedantic, the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions are the equivalent of what the Sudetenland were to Nazi Germany.

The whole of Ukraine being the equivalent of the whole of Czechoslovakia which was Hitler's first target after convincing Europe to hand him the Sudetenland.
