How inspiring. In a war torn country, a company perseveres and continues making the internet worse.

The founder's LinkedIn describes his job as "Automating phones for you - Dead internet as a service", and also has a post where he proudly states that this post was "banned on Hacker News".

> Large grocery stores and apartment buildings use big generators, they are the size of a car and way quieter than small generators.

Many industrial generators are enclosed in a box that absorbs most of the noise, unlike the smaller ones.

Has there been any significant use of decentralized mesh communication networks in Ukraine in the last years?

To limited extend by Ukrainian army, more like a fallback method if something happens to Startlink. Mesh networks are getting used more and more by Russian army for coordinating drone attacks and surveillance - they use Chinese modems e.g. 70M-6Ghz/Uper C-X-Ku).

"We now continue to work as before, getting social media engagement for us and our clients, applying to YC 2026 and other VCs."

Ehh, so this is a click farm?

At this point, is the most "effective ethical" career path for a software developer to work on LLMs to flood social media and ad-clicks to speedrun the collapse of digital marketing? And thus freeing competent but money-driven software engineers to work on something else?

With only 60 phones, this is like a click homestead.

Click farms effectively function as janitors, mopping up spam someone else paid to throw so that no real user stumbles upon it, so they are beneficial.
