all Tinder cares about is keeping you swiping, with your eyes on the screen.

same here. i can pay 120 for cable tv and internet at 250mbps, or 100 for internet that is 50mbps.

but my town is a monopoly. i have zero other internet/cable choices.

The GOP hasn’t had a positive agenda for 20 years.

When i was in school in the 2000s file sharing basically crippled the campus network until it was banned. A few bad actors were hoarding all the bandwidth and storing copyright violation stuff on school servers.

It’s the protocols more than anything.

stuff with this speeds existed already, it just wasn’t via USB. it was expensive proprietary protocols and hardware and cables. USB is an open standard design for consumer use, and not for giant corps with datacenters who can pay $2,000 for a single data cable.

Thunderbolt is basically a data-transfer focused version of USB, and just requires a different controller that supports the new protocols to achieve the higher speeds.

multiplexing is one way to achieve higher bandwidth and throughput over the same physical cable.

yeah, cats bury their shit. they don’t shit on grass and leave it exposed.

only time cats shit in the open is to prove a point. OP probably pissed off this cat

their base loves it. that is all that matters

every field trip i had had a permission form with the cost on it that had to be signed by a guardian or you were not allowed to go.

His show is entertainment first and foremost. That means glorifying stupid bullshit for the entertainment value of it.

Most hard science is boring. Most fringe theory thinking is dramatic and thrilling.

this is why universities have endowments. and why they become convulted messes.

of course, they don’t use them like they should, but that’s another issue entirely.

sadly people are greedy and short sighted, no matter the institution. often the committees want to reward themselves above all else.

because the us govt doesn’t give a shit about monopolies.

EU might get up in their shit though.

the open web isn’t as profitable as the walled garden where we can shovel ads and algorithms at unwitting consumers to extract money from them.

Tildes has a single admin who bans anyone they mildly disagree with.

because people who snap tend to be right wingers who think black people shopping at Safeway are ‘the enemy’.

They worship bags of ass like this guy and wish they could be them.

No, i don’t. I don’t have a home lab or a self host. I have a mac laptop at home and nothing else.

my job is at my job. I don’t bring it home.

It always has been, it always will be.

I don’t get why anyone is surprised by this sort of thing. Money is the supreme value above all others in USA culture.

It comes before God, Country, Mission and personality morality, always.

because nobody runs against them who has a legit chance of ever winning due to the power of incumbency and gerrymandering.

you are assuming he won’t be replaced by someone far worse. which he very well may be

I’m an IT professional but I find most IT communities to be full insufferable people and full of useless and irrelevant information on obscure systems and practices that don’t apply to the average IT job which is sys admining windows/linux/mac.

Would love a community that was chill and not full of people trying to one up one another about how amazing they are or how hardcore their lab is.

I work for a small medical firm nobody has ever heard of. Almost all our employees are targeted within a week of hiring on their personal devices with spearfishing trying to get company creds. It’s insane.
