I voted Hilary because lesser of two evils. But I despise her snake in the grass ass! And me not liking her has absolutely nothing to do with her gender.
But you are right that there are many that hate on a strong, vocal female (AOC).
There are still many strong females out there that would have done better than Hillary and would make great leaders
Just throw the six that voted for immunity in prison for treason. A fate worse than death
I vote everyone continue to use this template for memes, as Drakes faces makes me physically ill
You and all your upvoters like to visit sites about privacy, and give people a hard time for taking measures to protect themselves. Lame
I went back to wired. I’m aware the government will get it elsewhere.
Not paying Bose to have access to it, and sell to whomever they want. Fuck that
Also, you don’t know jack shit about my tech. I go out with nothing but a DAP very often.
I once lost a pair of expensive Bose wireless headphones. Somebody told me that I could use the app and track their location. I said, oh hell no, they can keep them! Nice as they were, I will not be purchasing again.
A decent language learning type app, like dulingo
I successfully got a few rubber bullet scars
You are technically correct though. I probably shouldn’t have thrown enshittification into it, as they are somewhat unrelated. But, the loss of neutrality makes it unbearably easy for the monsters. I personally get frustrated with the current state because those of us that fought against it’s repeal saw this coming long before the bastards finally got their way.
At the beginning of COVID and online shopping to boot! Ma and Pa businesses everywhere forced to close their doors, and little option to sell their goods online without bowing down to the man
Yes, but what I’m getting at is that the repeal of net neutrality gives telecom companies that as you correctly stated were never good to consumers in the first place, the power to now fully, legally kneecap everyone that’s not already a monster monopoly.
This drives us into an even further monopolistic state, as you can’t get yourself out there without them. Which in turn allows them to make the product way shittier than they could have otherwise, as they now know they hold all the cards, and can’t just easily take our business elsewhere
Keeping Republicans out of office and the FCC is a good start. Obama fought against repealing it his entire presidency, despite tons of pressure from big tech and the other side of the aisle. I think it’s congress would have to change laws to protect it?
MAGA brain, Capitalist pain. Or just Capital pain
I edited it to be more readable
Not currently, no. But, that’s a large part of what net neutrality insured. That ISP’s weren’t allowed to create fast lanes for companies that paid, and throttle those that don’t. It’s one of the most talked about aspects of net neutrality. You think they’ve all been allowed to do it now for the past three years, and just haven’t?
Sick of YouTube’s shit? Heres this open source alternative, awesome!
Buffer, buffer, buffer… ISP says, lulz, no neutrality, throttled bitch!
Try a VPN. They’re all largely shit for a different reason. We sold out freedom out of fear of the WMD’s
Yea, the enshittification process predates the internet, so yes.
However, the loss of net neutrality has lead to these monopolies being able to rapidly speed the process in a large number of ways, from ways they work with and imprison advertisers and vendors to their platforms.
Their ability to buy telecoms favor. With the death of net neutrality, now broadband Bros shape the face of the internet for the most elite and powerful companies. Silencing the little websites and startups that used to show up in search results amongst giants like Amazon, eBay, Facebook marketplace, Ali, etc. for ma and pa trying to run a small buisness. Making us all slaves to these monopolies, and the handful of companies you must deal with, enshittification, obnoxious new ads, and all, just to reach the masses.
Elon says you can’t even put your Mastadon handle on Twitter, etc. I could go on and on.
The death of net neutrality has emboldened big tech in a massive way, as if it wasn’t bad enough before. It had pretty much insured that the big boys all get a fat cut of everybodies pie, and you just gotta grin while you eat their shit, or starve
Just the once though. Then balance/expand the SCOTUS. Give the Republicans a few to make it fair. Vote to overturn, and forget it ever happened. Logical people can’t get that upset that the only thing he did with his new king powers is do what it takes to save democracy
