Comment Gateway Pundit, seriously? (Score 0, Troll) 214

Good lord! Why would you use such an unreliable source like The Gateway Pundit? Even when they are accurate, they're stealing their articles from sites that actually employ journalists. The Gateway Pundit (TGP) is an American far-right[2] fake news website.[1] The website is known for publishing falsehoods, hoaxes, and conspiracy theories.[34]

The Toronto Sun is part of Postmedia, an American-owned chain that exercises strong editorial control and is basically Fox North.

Canadian Civil Liberties Association seems legit, but the Canadian Constitution Foundation is part of the Koch Atlas network, slipping far-right American money into Canadian politics.

That doesn't mean that they're wrong, but what they say should be examined carefully for fish hooks.

I'm an actual Starlink user at my farm. It's head-and-shoulders better than any competing service.

I previously has used a cellular uplink... and even with a yagi mounted 30' up on a mast, I barely had 1-2Mb/s of bandwidth. It was truly miserable.

Starlink is a game-changer... give 'em the freakin' money. They've done something truly miraculous for rural internet users, who had previously only terrible/expensive options. As a taxpayer, I'm actually glad to see the money I contribute going to something useful.

I too remember the Old Days (TM). Slashdotting was an actual thing. We fearlessly rode the waves of the ether, and many a site trembled at the sound of our clicks.

I rarely post any more... but the passing of Rob is sobering reminder than none of us are getting any younger... RIP Roblimo :(

Submission + - The Dilbert ICO: Scott Adams' crypto offering analysed (davidgerard.co.uk) 2

An anonymous reader writes: Scott Adams, author of Dilbert, ran cartoons a couple of weeks ago about "blockchain." We now know why: he's put up an ICO, the "WhenHub SAFT". David Gerard, author of Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain, analyses what's actually on offer here. Summary: questionable business plan — Fiverr but paying tokens instead of money — but the ICO itself looks legally solid, which is unusual for the space.
