🚀 Indonesia teaming up with SpaceX

🚀 Indonesia and SpaceX Partner to Bridge the Digital Divide

Indonesia has teamed up with SpaceX to bring faster internet to its remote islands.

The satellite, called Satria-1, was built by a European company and sent into orbit by a SpaceX rocket from the U.S. on Monday.

Indonesia is a big country with more than 17,000 islands and a lot of people who don’t have access to the web.

The satellite aims to change that by offering connection speeds of 150 gigabytes per second. That means more online learning, health care, and government services for millions of Indonesians.

🌐 No Retreat, No Surrender: Reddit CEO Holds Ground on API Fees, Addresses Protesting Moderators

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is not backing down.

In recent interviews, he defended charging third-party apps for API usage and compared protesting moderators to entitled aristocrats.

He also discusses protesting moderators and suggests possible changes to allow users to vote them out—arguing that this would make Reddit more democratic.

Despite the backlash, Huffman says that Reddit’s revenue has not been affected.

So while some users are fleeing to alternative sites like Lemmy, Reddit is not giving an inch. And if you’re a third-party app developer, you better be ready to pay up.
