Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

Population wise yes,area coverage wise no. How do you think the 5G towers (who you need more due to smaller cell sizes) are connected? 5G/LTE offers zero redundancy - as shown in various disaster scenario.
And how do you fix a traditional internet connection to a drone, a mobile command post (using 5G/LTE for that is a VERY bad idea as these are far easier to detect than SATCOM), etc.?
As I said: I am also not happy how this is achieved and wish we had a better option. But we have basically three choices: a) we buy Elmo's stuff and might get fucked whenever he likes. Not good,has cost lives in the Ukraine. b) we say "sorry folks,a clear night sky is more important than your live/health" to the people that will die or get injured due to that. Because let's face it,in disaster management it's a game changer at the moment(And it comes to that, that's sadly a given, even without a war like scenario) C) we build our own network. This is of course oversimplified,but in the end it pretty much comes down to these choices.
