- Having slowly-increasing pressure on those often-monopoly broadband/fiber carriers because people have the option to swap to Starlink, adds competitive pressure for them to improve their service, reduce prices, etc
- The remaining 20% of the population that lives on the 60-80%+ of the land who currently have terrible options, but fit well within the density restrictions of current-gen Starlink satelites, suddenly have options
I guess it (network-level filtering) just feels like a dragnet solution that reduces privacy and security for the population at large, when a more targeted and cohesive solution like client-side filtering, having all apps that use web browsers funnel into an OS-level check, etc would accomplish the same goals with improved security.
The only thing this makes impossible is the laziest, and easiest to bypass method of filtering the internet.
Take a look at https://areweanticheatyet.com at some of the biggest games on the planet, and how most of them don't support Linux or Proton.
Do you think that they are going to ignore environmental laws for JUST this project, or do you think that is their modus operandi? I’d be happy to have a tunnel system installed near my home, even if there’s temporary disruption during the construction process. What I wouldn’t tolerate is active, and unmonitored (by TBC’s insistence on “self-monitoring”), pollution occurring near my home. Fines only cover so much, and un-polluting something after the fact costs far more than the fines that are being levied and, when it comes to pollutants that harm humans (like improper disposal of chemicals from digging, as they have been fined for), you can’t just “undo” the human harm with a fine.
Most videos I've seen recently show a system that, while functional, typically only has a handful of vehicles running simultaneously, each with carrying capacity for one party of up to 3 people.
Honestly the biggest uphill battle that Hyperion is going to face is rebuilding the decade-plus of existing Java plugins and functionality that have become ubiquitous in the Minecraft ecosystem, like Permissions, Anti-grief, Anticheat, etc which have had decades of man-hours invested into perfecting their functionality. Some of this can likely be ported and knowledge reused, but _someone_ is going to have to actually do the heavy lifting of porting it into a language that has a (relative to Java) higher learning curve.
The problem is a lack of balance, and in some instances skipping the entirety of Critical Reasoning. Why go through the effort of working your way through a problem when you would rather be doing <literally anything else> with your time. Iterate on this to the extreme, with what feels like a magic bullet that can solve anything, and your skills *will* atrophy.
Of course there are exceptions to this trend. Star pupils exist in any generation who will go out of their way to discover answers to questions they have, re-derive understanding of things just for the sake of it, and apply their passions towards solving problems they decide are worth solving. The issue is the _average_ person, given an _average_ (e.g. if in America, under-funded) education, with an _average_ mentor, will likely choose the path of least resistance.
A good way to verify this if you've got a Tesla is how long it takes for the car to acknowledge commands sent via the mobile app. If they're near-instant (ignoring TCP latency ofc), the car is "Awake" and drawing it's full load. If they take 5-15 seconds, the car is Asleep and only polling it's LTE antennas for push notifications every 10s or so. If they timeout entirely, the car is in Deep Sleep and drawing almost no wattage (at least based on my observations with my wife's M3).
When in Sentry mode, responses are ALWAYS instant, so the car is fully Awake and drawing full wattage.

In Illinois, USA, there's outright no vehicle inspections AFAIK for electric vehicles whatsoever after the sale of the vehicle has completed. There's a yearly registration fee paid to the state, and the state has "emissions testing" for vehicles over 2y (model year) old, but EVs are explicitly exempt and so AFAIK the only inspections that would ever occur are in the event an owner has their vehicle serviced by a dealer.
Even the Falcon 9 when it lands "at sea" is actually landing on a barge that is able to keep it upright (usually) and out of the water, but any booster vehicle that SpaceX (or anyone) launches that does a soft water landing is a write-off. The only real exception to this is return capsules with astronauts in them which are explicitly designed to land in the water and deploy buoys to keep themselves afloat while they wait for the Coast Guard to come pick them, and the capsule (which is a one-time-use component) up.
