ISP to Supreme Court: We shouldn’t have to disconnect users accused of piracy

I had Verizon threatened to shut down my internet. I had been receiving notices for close to a decade via email, I assumed they were all toothless. And that was true in the past

I just called the Verizon copyright office and told them that it wasn't me and I would change my Wi-Fi password 😂

It was suspiciously easy as if they really don't care and are just trying to be compliant

I got a VPN and no longer have to deal with it

“Black People Were Just Less Smart Back Then” -Grandma

My grandfather started going on a anti-trump, anti-fascism rant and I saw him kind of pause to check if I was that trump cultist lol. It was very heartening

My other grandfather was a vocal racist, sexist, homophobe who died of covid because he believed Trump's lies. Rot in pieces

Trump literally killed off hundreds of thousands of bigots with his lies about covid. That was silver lining of his term

Be like Edward Snowden

his persecution is the distraction from the crimes he exposed.

They tell us he endangered our operatives, yet not one example has surfaced in over a decade. You know they would be shouting that shit from every rooftop if it happened.

This is how the USA treats heroes. We persecute them for exposing our evil.

Control

Reply in thread

My mom refuses to turn off notifications from apps so there are constantly 30-40 notifications. Making it completely unusable.

I just don't get it, you can control how your phone works but people act like they can't do a thing

Shot at him and put him in the hospital and police refuse to do anything until a lawyer was involved

Reply in thread

For anyone who thinks this comment is hyperbolic, never forget Nathan Pelham the Jan 6 insurrectionist.

When police came to take him in he drunkenly shot his gun at them from his home. Shooting to kill.

The police drive away and let him "sleep it off"

Imagine if that was a black man. He and his whole family would be shredded by assault rifles.

White domestic terrorists are being coddled by law enforcement.

Arm the left.

"Tony Delivers" - just order your food and send him a screenshot

I've been dreaming of a future where Uber, DoorDash, etc are devoid of any corporate organization. Developers, drivers and support staff are the only human workers, the rest is organized by a complex, but open source, program.

No investors, no shareholders, every cent goes to the workers. Wages are higher in prices are lower because we aren't paying five VPs a million dollars a year or sending all our profits to the shareholders.

I think advances in computing and AI could actually make this possible. If only greed didn't run the world it might be doable

I want free market capitalism that works for us. What we have now if slavery with extra steps

Israel tells Gazans to move south or risk being seen as 'terrorist' partner

Reply in thread

I am getting the feeling that Israel (aka US) is creating more terrorists on purpose. If my entire family was killed and I survived I would be out for blood. I think anyone would.

Is this done just an excuse for the US to re-insert itself in a middle eastern conflict so our tax dollars can enrich the military industrial complex? Sure seems like it

We created our enemies in the Middle East, they would have no reason to hate us if we didn't.
