A quick glance at these comments indicates the majority are excited about Starlink. I must be in the minority. Is anyone else here on HN very unhappy with the prospect of having no place to escape internet access? I love the idea of no-rescue zones. https://www.pennstatelawreview.org/print-issues/hike-at-your... Not trying to change anyone's mind, just wondering if I'm a complete outlier.

Heroin addicts have the option to escape heroin any time they want. Just ignore the heroin.

Funny how while you mean it ironically, it still is true.

Its time people take responsibility of their actions.

Just because there's cell reception, doesn't mean they won't still have no-rescue zones.

What it would allow however is you to get in-touch with family to come get you should the need arise.
