  • Before anyone jumps on this guy’s bandwagon cuz its fuck musk sentiment, look at his proposal from a net neutrality perspective. The chairman who opposed passing 2017’s title II net neutrality legislation is proposing more crack downs on everyone’s access to alternate ISP options.

    THE FCC HAS AMD ALWAYS WILL BE IN THE POCKET OF THE MAJOR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS WHOSE MAIN GOAL IS TO BOTTLENECK EVERYONE INTO ONLY HAVING ACCESS TO THE INTERNET THROUGH ONE PROVIDER FOR AN AREA SO THEY CAN IMPLEMENT POLICIES LIKE BADWIDTH THROTTLING, CENSORSHIP AND ELIMINATING PIRATING CHANNELS. The only defense we have against losing net neutrality is by lowering their customer retention rates when customers jump to other companies. Which is only effective when there aren’t regulations limiting the number of competing providers.

    There are plenty of reasons and justifications for saying fuck musk but this is not one that is worth the potential cost to your net neutrality.


  • Or you could just read the first paragraph of an article you are guna put the effort into expressing your opinion over. The chair of the FCC is saying if DODGE guts the FCC under the guise of reducing the operating cost to save on tax revenues then all they will be doing is reducing the country’s access to affordable high speed internet. Subsequently pushing more people to use starlink.

    This took more waaaay more time to write than it took to read. Maybe instead of needing information spoon fed to you, you could save others who share this platform the hassle of being your personal chatgpt by simply skimming an article you could see yourself forming enough of an opinion to comment on.🍻



  • It could just be karma whores expanding to other platforms than reddit. Idk if it’s still a thing but there was a time on reddit where people would steal posts, repost old top posts and aquire as much karma as they can on new accounts. Then sell the username to shills so they can push their agenda without looking like an obviously belligerent shill. They might try the same approach on lemmy before realizing karma doesn’t mean shit here which is where you see them deleting their accounts.

    While possible I do think it’s a stretch, I also think it would be completely inefficient to try and train any LLM by feeding it data from lemmy. I wanna say the average number of active users on lemmy at any point is around 40,000. Compared to what google says reddit’s avg daily active users which is 52,200,000 users per day, it would seem like a complete waste of resources.






  • I mean you get caught fucking a bunch of children and see what happens to your bank account lol. I’m amazed it’s that much with how much fewer people attend church each new generation over the last. I’m 37 and don’t know a single person +/- 10years from my age who even acknowledges religion in any sense muchless enough to give money to any religous organization. As far as I can see it’s all boomer money and it has to be dwindling fuckin fast.
