@sydneyfalk well, it's gonna cost a lot more than a thousand to send a new one up, so it might be worth doing on principle

And as far as I know there aren't any laws about shooting down satellites yet

Facebook: Would you like to check in to this location?

You: What the fuck? I wasn't even carrying my phone while I was there

Facebook: We're watching you from space, Dave, we can see EVERYTHING

I mean, large governments already have this sort of capability, which is bullshit in and of itself

But this is opening it out to fucking enterprise clients

Oh for fuck's sake

Anyone got any bright ideas for taking out surveillance satellites on a budget of 5 bucks and a bit of string?

@squirrel ooh, that's hella neat

@noelle same, but 5 hours ahead of you

@squirrel *pets*

@dumpling@octodon.social nice

@squirrel plep

Oh hey, neat

Nintendo have released the templates for all the cardboard Labo stuff online

Still need to buy the game thing to use them, but hey, really cheap/free spare parts!

I don't like weed, y'all can smoke my share

@cypnk @TheGibson this'd be my first idea

Huh, apparently the King of Swaziland has decided to change the name to "The Kingdom of eSwatini"

Which, despite looking like a pre-dotcom crash company name, is in fact the correct orthography in Swazi

@squirrel oh no!

*gently dips bun in aloe vera*

Hope it gets not hurty soon

@noelle 😑

@squirrel *pets computer*

@sydneyfalk @squirrel possibly a small win, but we managed to kill it before they wanted to

@sydneyfalk @squirrel didn't require payment to sign up for an account

No idea how much money they got out of it (they said they refunded everyone on the ICO before they shut down but I don't believe a word of it) but they could have kept it going a few weeks to get the most return out of it

@sydneyfalk @squirrel they didn't make it that far before everyone and their mothers were shitting on them from a great height
