zackster They don’t work. Has been repeatedly pointed out by soldiers on the ground.

Lol, they do work. Deutsche Welle even describes them below as having been “crucial” for Ukrainian forces and Politico call them “a lifeline in the fight against Russia”.

As per the FT article there have indeed been some reports by soldiers of there being a few outages - but these have generally been in inimited instances when they’d advanced eastwards in to previously Russian-controlled fronts where network access had been limited to prevent Russian interference, and there hadn’t yet been the time to switch them over to reflect the changed situation on the ground.

It’s pathetic how much your ideological dislike clouds your judgement.

      Not at all. Loving Joe currently!

          zackster I’m not sure Joe Biden is really capable of talking with anyone:

                zackster @Elon we all know you aren’t buying twitter, mate.

                Oh look, Elon has bought twitter.

                  He’s massively overpaid, but still curious to see what he does with it.

                  He is going to have massive layoffs for sure

                  This is great news all round, hoping he sorts out the bots and algorithms asap

                  Instant improvement on Twitter, actually seeing posts from accounts followed rather than spam from elsewhere

                    Hursty
                    Only joined it a few weeks ago & I’m already done with it due to the amount posts I see from people I don’t even follow
