hungryphrog,

Isn’t God supposed to be all-powerful and omnipotent?

yes but he doesn’t want to interfere with our precious free will, starvation and rape be damned

we just have to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps

That should tell you just how serious this issue with satellites is…

I honestly have no idea if this is satire and I’m afraid of the answer

OmegaII,

Since when does God live in space? He lives in the cloud since the people who invented christianity where morrons who didn’t know any better like Everyone in that time period. So now suddenly they accepted space and that God moved over there over 2000+ years living in the clouds, on a planet that is millions of years old.

Special people.

FierySpectre,

Yeah, shouldn’t god be getting more powerful now that the cloud is growing larger every year. Besides those satellites should help with connection to his followers in remote areas.

Blackmist,

He lives in the cloud?

No wonder he always seems to need money. His AWS bills must be enormous.

it's all part of the con. god doesn't have an aws bill. incoming traffic is null-routed, as god doesn't give a shit and never responds; and senders pay their own bandwidth.

Lemminary,

All those prayers from soccer fans for their team to win the World Cup were being intercepted all along 😥

ChapulinColorado,

That explains all the USA and Russian World Cup championships won. Too much technology 😧

nnullzz,

They say as they post from a mobile device providing internet connection via a satellite.

explodicle,

Wait, really? I just assumed it went from my phone to the tower, and then all solid wires from there.

whatwhatwhatwhat,

You’re correct. Unless you’re using WiFi on your phone that’s backed by satellite internet (Starlink, etc).

Numpty,

Generally, you use the radio network from mobile phone to cell tower, and then fibre optic to the switches. Sometimes they use microwave line of sight for surface-to-surface connections where fibre doesn’t make sense, or is unviable (terrain, distance, cost, difficulty of laying fibre, etc.). It’s possible that there could be a satellite connection in the process, but unlikely unless you’re on an airplane, a ship, etc.

The GPS on the mobile phone definitely does use satellite (receive only though, no transmit).

Serinus, (edited )

I’m not an expert, but I believe the phone will usually start by geolocating your IP address, getting satellite positions based on your rough position and the exact time, and only uses satellites for precision.

Your phone will take much, much longer to pinpoint your location if your phone has been in airplane mode.

frezik,

There’s a few different techniques. The crudest is to check what cell tower you’re connected to and use its location as your location. Good enough to find what sandwich shops are in the area, but not precise enough for driving instructions. That takes GPS satellites.

Flat earthers sometimes confuse these modes to say your phone only connects to local towers. Most people don’t know the details and don’t know how to refute it.

smeenz,

That used for be true. But recently, they have added 5G to starlink satellites so your phone can actually talk directly to satellites if it can’t reach a terrestrial service.

All prayers are being converted to “bring back Evel Knievel.” We really want him back.

Fog0555,

First off, if Satellites give us more Evel Knievel that’s a major win and we should launch more.

Secondly, they’re entirely right that too many satellites are a problem, they just missed the mark as to why. It’s space debris we should be worried about preventing future spacecraft.

ieightpi,

It isn’t a coincidence that’s lemmy is keeping the upvote number at the “mark of the beast”.

capital,

Ok everyone stop upvoting and downvoting. We’ve reached the perfect score.

Jeanschyso,

I did the research. It is satire. They wished everyone a Merry Eaglemas this week.

This is a funny one.

afraid_of_zombies,

Ok guys who told them? Fess up.

I always knew Arthur C Clarke was an agent of Satan, especially after the disappointment that was 3001: The Final Odyssey.

Jungle,

Are you sure you are listening on the right wave band? God has moved to the 2.3GHz L-band allocated for DAB.
