This.

Back in the day this is how the internet worked. Every forum host was just some guy or girl hosting a platform so they coukd build a community with the people and hobbies they love.

We need to go back closer to that world. The fediverse bridges the gap between the centralized experience, and decentralized management.

Optimistically, it’s the best of both worlds.

And actual pedophiles.

Yup. It was bought as a tool to disrupt the next election. In that respect, it’s a hell of a good buy.

Closer to 96/95% now ;) But yeah, your point stands. What’s even worse about this, is I’m working on a dual citizenship with Portugal, so I should have had more self-awareness than I showed ;)

Ok, I missed the sarcasm and allusion to the US as the country you were talking about. That’s fair.

I assumed the OP was asking the question for the US. Which of course, is the thing people in my country do. Assume everything is about us ;)

Are you sure?

There’s “hard” caps, and there’s “soft” caps. When you hit the soft caps with many of these ISP’s, they start throttling your internet usage by a substantial amount.

Relevant Screenshot of caps as of Sept 2024.

Home Internet usually doesn’t have unlimited internet. There’s usually caps baked in somewhere. Don’t believe me? Read the fine print. At some point, at some bandwidth usage in the monthly cycle, they will throttle the living crap out of your connection. It’s written into pretty much every contract I’ve ever signed, and I’ve been with over a dozen carriers of landline internet over the years.

The reason being that they don’t want you serving websites or business class functionality with residential level internet. They didn’t build their network with those constraints. They want you paying for and using the business internet package, which has dedicated bandwidth and no caps because you’re paying for a dedicated line to be run.

For mobile phones? Old pricing models still trying to be relevant. There’s no technical reason.

The only correct answer in the thread.

My dude.

I’m a Principal software engineer with 27 years in the industry. I run a team of highly tenured, extremely badass engineers for an extremely large enterprise corporation with 30k+ employees.

I know what I’m on about when it comes to software development.

I’ve watched the musk interviews and behind the scenes brainstorming sessions for the Twitter 2.0 idea. He’s a hack.

What are your qualifications for praising him?

I have watched them. He’s just repeating things. He has no grasp of engineering or astrophysics at a fundamental level. He is a sales guy.

The same is true for his software engineering skills. They are novice level, at best. Watching his engineering brainstorm sessions at Twitter was a painful experience. He only knows how to talk the talk. He constantly misuses key tech jargon and design patterns. His engineering group will literally visibly cringe whenever he makes a suggestion.

I’ve been writing code for 25+ years, and in tech for 27+.

I’m a novice at all languages still. Even though they tell me I’m a Principal Engineer.

There’s always some new technique or way to do what I want that’s better I’m learning every day. It never stops. The expectations for what I consider to be good code just continues to climb every day.

SpaceX is not run by Elon and he’s kept from being involved closely by a buffer of people that keep him from getting too close to making any “elon” level changes.

SpaceX is successful despite Musk, not because of. And the woman who runs it knows that and keeps Musk away from any important decisions or impacts.

So the stuff they’re doing is legit, cool aerospace stuff.

It’s just not something Musk should take credit for. He does/will. But he shouldn’t. He’s a hack.

Generally, yeah, just related topics. But there might also be mods that mod both communities.

Musk is on the trump mushroom dick train because he’s afraid he’s going to get indicted, and trump has already offered him a full pardon.

This makes too much sense to not be true.

Then the same rules apply, but for the people looking to arrest him.

He has praised certain Democratic policies, opposed some core Republican policies like the 2017 tax cuts, and supported higher taxes for businesses and individuals without children.

Except for the fact that it makes a bunch of money you mean?

Fuck Larry Ellison.

Now he’s going for super-villainy against people who’ve never even heard of Oracle.

Hmmm, I guess that makes sense. It’s been a while since I’ve bought a gas mower, roughly the late 90’s/00’s hah, been using electric/battery since then.
