Podman supports docker compose just fine. You have to run it as a service, so that it can expose a socket like docker does, but it supports doing exactly that

Because a container is only as isolated from the host as you want it to be.

Suppose you run a container and mount the entire filesystem into it. If that container is running as root, it can then read and write anything it likes (including password databases and /etc/sudo)

If by "left in space" you mean the payload, then mostly Starlink satellites. A considerable number of other people's satellites as well. Those stick around until the end of their service life, then they re-enter the atmosphere and burn up.

If you're asking if any part of the rocket gets left up there, then the answer is no

Which is particularly surprising from a French company

The only thing I'd add is "not particularity nice to the Muslims living there" is putting it mildly.

Because there's always tension, Israel takes its security very seriously. Unlike most countries, who put a token effort into security most of the time, Israel really is an armed fortress. That makes it very easy for someone with an itchy trigger finger to shoot someone who didnt deserve shooting. Even with the best will in the world, it would happen from time to time.

That, of course, makes the Palestinians very angry. An angry population poses more of a threat, and is more likely to do something genuinely aggressive. The Israeli security is thus tightened further, and their soldiers get even itchier trigger fingers and around and around we go.

It doesn't take long before everyone involved has a personal grudge for one reason or another, and things can get really vicious.

That's not fair. They're complaining that they don't like it, and that they want to be able to turn it off. They didn't say it shouldn't exist

You might just as well ban crowded places. A drone solves the problem of getting a weapon to a target, which is relevant in a war zone but not in a public place.

If someone wants to bomb a crowded stadium, there are simpler ways than strapping a bomb to a drone

They started launching in 2019, according to a quick look at Wikipedia. They told the general public (and regulatory agencies, I think) that the lifetime of the satellites was on the order of 5 years. The plan was to replace them frequently enough to maintain the constellation with that kind of service life (i.e. to launch the whole constellation worth of satellites every 5 years)

Now, here we are 4 years later. It's not terribly surprising if some of the early satellites are starting to reach the end of their lives.

It's going to be very expensive for them, but not an unexpected cost. This is the reason they're so keen to start launching them on Starship

Is that an actual legal right? If you've described it accurately, then Facebook and Instagram would be completely illegal

Personally, I'm alarmed that a bear only merits closing half. Did the guests in the other half do something to make themselves unpopular?

By definition, Russia is in fact a 2nd world country.

Just ignore them, I suspect. If you're already in a giant blimp, then what's the harm in letting the wind carry you wherever it wants to go?
