    Starlink by virtue of being your ISP would have access to any DNS queries you send over the Internet over UDP port 53 in plain text. Starlink is also able to redirect those queries…

    I think the difference is really more noticeable if you're on a limited connection. For example, on Starlink I only have 50 GB to play with. It's entirely ineffective if the browse…

    Oh I agree 100%. I also play for my search engine so it's definitely not a lack of interest in doing so. I agree with your point as well. Get rid of the money vultures in the C-sui…

    Fuck that noise. The places that shadow ban and encourage self-censorship do not deserve your traffic nor your content. Start voting with your voice and your (digital) feet. Don't …

    Those contracts will be monitoring their service availability on their own. If Google can't be honest you can bet your bottom dollar the companies paying for that SLA are going to …
