Its a variation on this

I came here to banish reddit but this thing wont leave my feed. I guess I’m going to have to take the time to filter the word.

Twitting little twat waffle tears down trust.

What a twat.

I was just thinking either box or the phone has to go next.

Except on my networks all port 53 tcp/udp and port 853 for that matter are forwarded to my dns per firewall rules. I also block all encrypted dns as well as dns over https blocked. Its my dns or nothing. I also have a vpn and proxy blocklist that updates twice a day. PFblockerNG is effective when maintained.

In 2014 when I was in the hospital for a week I got a visit from their IT. Seems like pushing 5 to 10 gig a day through a ssh connection triggered something. Just a gig of ICMP of any variety would trip a alarm.

Thats not the way it will work. They will give discounts to the rich and charge the poor more. This is essentially what dollar general is. A added cost for being poor.

Newsflash there are plenty of stupid people with perfect grammar.

Sounds like a really stupid person at the passport place that thinks their smart. Pretty typical.

I can remember the last moon landing.

I’ll stick with price gouging.

We think the economy is worse because it is for us. Food prices have doubled or more than doubled in the last ten years and our income is stagnant so we make the same but everything costs more. We don’t see any growth or stability in the quality of our lives.

Inflation is nothing compared to price gouging and price fixing by businesses that no one tries to curtail. This is approved of by the powers that be.

But let one opportunistic asshole corner the market on hand sanitizer in one region of the US at the beginning of a pandemic and he has to give it all away because nearly everyone thinks he is a monster.

Jessica Rosenworcel is handing out money right now. I saw her speak in 2023 and she was quite enthusiastic about all the money they were handing out. I looked at the structure of it and its the same as what they were doing during Bush’s and Obama’s administrations. Its a farce and it will just pad the bottom line of the major telcos without building one more mile of physical plant. Just like all the other times. Until some type of limit on payment is implemented similar to erate which is now under attack nothing will ever happen other than the money will disappear.

And in the late 2000’s. And again a few years later. And as of last year they, the FCC is once again throwing money at them without any real oversight. I worked for a ISP in 2010 and we couldn’t get any of the money because a bank had first lean on the company USDA demanded that before any money could be approved. AT&T got money for our area and their footprint shrank the next year when they cut off dial-up customers in the area.

There are reports that the vouchers handed out were canceled before anyone could use them.

You mean the type where the lawyers get eight figure payouts and you get a ten dollar check?

My old reddit account was monitored and everytime I used the word snowflake I would get bot slammed. I complained but nothing ever happened. I really made a snowflake mad one day.

Smart phones and computers in general are the reason why kids have no critical thinking skills. I say this as a sysadmin of thirty years. They need to be banned from schools. kids/minors don’t get complete control. You have to be kinda childish to think they should.
