Because they’re a monopoly and should get nationalized to ensure they align with the citizens rather than with the greedy shareholders.

I use Firefox with uBO on Windows and it doesn’t help. I tried installing filters I found online but they don’t do shit.

I’ll just install FreeTube.

I just have my phone always silenced except for phone calls from contacts.

Each time it offers to translate a page, there’s a “Never translate from [LANGUAGE]” button.

Rural areas are already covered by Viasat. Which is going to be more efficient due to the simple nature of only needing like 5 to 10 satellites in the 100-year orbit height… rather than 60,000+ Starlink satellites in the 5-year orbit height.

Latency sucks with Viasat. You won’t play multiplayer games on it, and even web browsing will be sluggish with how many round trips displaying just a single page requires nowadays.

Can you connect PCI-E devices to USB 4? That feels like the only useful feature of Thunderbolt imo.

My Facebook is only memes, only from the large meme pages, not the ones I like that I have to check manually since they’ll never end up in my feed. And news articles.

It started with Facebook just hiding what your friends are posting. It still happens that someone shares a photo once a year or so, but I will never get shown it. I just browse my friend’s profiles manually.

Some people will always want wires to transfer data,

But that group of people is growing smaller and smaller with each year. I haven’t used a phone cable to transfer files once in the last 8 years. Phones just sync to cloud.

I always thought [dumping](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy\)) was illegal.

It’s so idiotic that it can’t be malice.

It’s just Linus overworking his employees.

Unix was originally a networked system that many terminals would connect to. Being able to actually reach the machine meant that you had authority.

It’s the same today. If someone has physical access, the system is so screwed that you can just give total privileges anyways.

It’s easy to port, has low system requirements, and it’s funny to see running on a toaster

Cellular is always overloaded in rural areas. Mobile ISPs always take on more customers than their infrastructure can handle.

I’m still running a PC from 2012. It’s seriously fine, I only started feeling it last year. Looking to upgrade next month.

I think that swappable GPUs are the killer feature. A 7 year old CPU is fine, a 7 year old GPU not so much.
