There's nothing of substance here, just more internet vitriol.
For example I think "rural people's best hope of finally not being an afterthought" is massive government infrastructure projects that don't factor in profitability. Note that I am not trying to _have_ this discussion here, just pointing out that it's a valid disagreement.
And the author of that tweet it seems considers this a loss of an ancient and fundamental shared planetary resource. I think anger is an understandable, even appropriate reaction to that perception!
The point is to get people to talk about it and maybe also not just accept the neoliberal consensus about the role of technology and infrastructure and their externalities. Seems to have succeeded by that measure.
There is plenty of substance here but you're using the author's anger and profanity as an excuse to not engage with it.
It's also clearly not a loss of an ancient planetary resource. The satellites can't be seen with the naked eye so the vast majority won't notice. Astral photographers and astronomers may have to do slightly more post-processing on certain types of images, but that hardly seems like a big deal.
That said, yes, we should focus on the big picture in places like HN. That doesn't mean we ignore or disparage the mere mortals who care so much about the sky.
