I think the point of the phrase is to generate outrage to push against it

Jesus, 10Gbps!? I’m paying $90 for “gigaspeed” AT&T fiber. But, I’m luckier than most, I have AT&T fiber and Metronet as fiber providers, as well as Spectrum and T-Mobile (but yuck to using 5G as my primary source of internet).

They need to add a row for “Owned by a foreign superpower”“Owned by the Chinese government” and a check for Opera.

I’m loving KDE’s Neon distro that’s based off Ubuntu. I’ve not had to do much faffing around to get it the way I want it and anyone that has used Windows should be comfortable using it. KDE Plasma feels very polished and streamlined.

On my laptop, I’ve switched to Linux since, despite being built in 2017, doesn’t meet Win 11’s min requirements. This is horseshit, I don’t care how MS explains it or justifies it, there’s nothing wrong with it. I’m sure during development, they realized a 20 year old computer could run Win 11 and decided to make up requirements to force people into buying new PCs.

Anyway, I’m using KDE Neon and I’m loving its ease of use and simplicity. I have barely needed to dive into the terminal to fix anything and KDE Plasma feels very polished and user friendly. To me, it feels like the new “normie-friendly” Linux. And without the horseshit telemetry and Microsoft spying, it’s like a brand new PC.

Yeah, dedicated fingerprint readers were so nice. On-screen readers are slow, require you to look to align your finger, and unreliable since the thumb gets most of the abuse. Also, I usually have to press the power button when taking my phone out of my pocket to wake it up to bother to scan my thumb. Sometimes, I will be perfectly aligned on the reader and nothing happens… Until I pick up my finger and then it activates the reader and scolds me for moving my finger too fast. These are just neat tech demos, one step forward for the tech, but two steps back for functionality.

I’m afraid we’ll never see separate fingerprint readers again since it puts the cost and manufacturing burden on the screen manufacturers.

I seem to be fine on my P8P

Present participle of ‘narc.’

It’s the latest exciting chapter of “Plex and the Quest for Investibility!”

God wants you to use it.

I really miss interpreting the vague random words from God. Funnily enough, God via TempleOS was what told me to transition to Linux in the first place!

I don’t understand where they’re getting their data from and what phones are doing this.

At first, I thought this was a joke about privacy until I realized that this is real and sadly this is something we need.

Cool, is samwaltoncaneatabagofdicks@inhell.com still available?

I’m in the same damn boat 😅

Pearl Jam - Do the Evolution

Did you miss the part that said “I’ll need a research team and 5 years?” The XKCD character did it! SUCCESS!

The Future: “Hold my beer…”

Yeah, I agree. I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, but it would be a very steep uphill battle. What we have now works great and we shockingly got the rest of the world to agree on it. The current OSI model provides a lovely blank canvas for all sorts of communication. Can it be improved? What system can’t? But from the days of ARPAnet to now was a long journey and this new Internet would have to start at the beginning and come into being like the Internet we all use today. I’m not interested in using dial-up again or waiting years to get “new” broadband. Too much investment is needed for such little reward.

Also, I feel like the author of this idea needs to brush up in their Internet history because it can’t be called Internet v2 for the reason you said.

Man this warms my heart ;‿;
