    starlink internet / news.com.au / “Dutton25 campaign eats a fat shit over election results”

    Musk is a fuck head and we should avoid starlink because of Musk rather than the service itself.

    I’m not at all a fan of the ketamine clown, but it’s literally just a dumb pipe.

    If you’re truly concerned about the integrity of data passed over it, treat it as one of many multiplexed channels, and use out-of-band cryptographic validation, which any serious voting system design should include regardless.

      Yeah exactly, sick of seeing the stupidest conspiracies about starlink. If you use https, there’s fuck all he can do to the stuff you send over it, except maybe block it. I’m all for not using it because he’s a Nazi you shouldn’t give money to, but the only tampering he did was splash a bunch of money around for ads and dirty tricks (like promising money in exchange for votes, which should definitely be illegal but the FEC decided not to look into?).
