  • The description sounds just like these look. So I’m leaning towards that too. Recently my wife and I were staying in Yellowstone and ended up at one of their tippy top of the mountain places. It’s super remote, no cell signal or anything. But, lo’ and behold, WiFi shows they had a network with “starlink” in the name. I thought that was really cool as I’d never actually seen a starlink connected network yet. So, mentioned that to her and she had never actually heard of them. I’m a professional nerd, she’s super techy as well, and if she hadn’t even heard of it I’m not surprised we see people who spot the trains of satellites in the sky and get spooked. It’s so weird looking to have a bunch of lights all in a line just traversing across the sky.

    Anyway, nobody I know would have cared that I was surprised she hadn’t heard about them, so given the relevance, you all get to know now.















  • So, as I understand it based on other systems I’ve used/worked on that had a few similar feature sets, ActivityPub will effectively send out events of “things”. What that is depends on whoever is telling ActivityPub about it. So, the data for a mastadon post (what are these called?) Would likely be pretty different to the data shape of a post on Lemmy. Not specifically the same, but I don’t think there’s anything stopping somebody from developing a server that can handle multiple types of content. Kbin has a similar thing between threads and microblogging. Two content types supported there.
