I mean I use at least two; one for vim and a second one mapped to my system clipboard. But I'll often yank to other buffers when I'm deep in a project, sometimes you don't want to lose something you're gonna be pasting throughout a document.

That's sort of like saying you'd want the milk to spill in the kitchen because it's easier to clean up. But the thing people are upset about is that the spilling of milk in the first place is not necessary.

That's true, but it's largely due to a market that doesn't prioritize remote clients and a regulatory system which has roped off huge parts of the radio spectrum.

Instead of a starlink receiver talking to low orbit, you could have a dish that uses fixed wireless access or point to point connections to access a terrestrial tower. In exceptional situations geostationary satellites make sense, but these low earth constellations are getting out of control.
