They've been expanding here in utah.

I think their growth is reasonably fast, just not everywhere. But I think the most is its about forcing ISP to not be dumbasses. As google was arriving they cleaned up a lot, and as they landed, comcast still cleaned up and is almost competitive.

Not going back.

I'm looking but not finding a picture to match this, care to share?

I'd honestly like to see this, and my duck-fu didn't find this

Right, flagging things as dupes is also worry some, as the right answer to the same question changes over time.

And that's assuming that the original had the correct one listed, and is relevant to whats being asked, and the answer is complete and local not just a link to a now dead source.

They need to assume
1. It may not be easy to find correct relevant dupe
2. The dupe may not be seen as relevant
3. The old answer may not be correct anymore.

IMO the answer should be pulling in a dupe and allowed to be voted if correct or not, not a shutdown.

what also needs to show is individual incomes.

I would also include other very significant income costs
Health Insurance
Auto Insurance
Phone/Internet Bills
Electric Bills (not just kw/h)
Gasoline
A few more core food items Chicken, Beef, Bread, Broccoli
cost of media (netflix was enough, not it's not and it went up in price too)
Taxes (mine went up 3+ times since then, which was % base before so it really hurts)
And, last but most important is wages!

because websites are hard and apparently passe... so they turned to the worst wordpress platform there is.

GOD! I hate discord, but that's where users are, and have been trying to nudge people to matrix, which is still a pile of crap but at least allows open communication.

I miss icq/aim/yahoo messenger.(oh the days of using everybody and pidgeon!!) I miss being able top send files to friends. (and no, things could work even when both parties nat'ed) and things can still be open and secure even if something has to sit between on occasion to get 2 nat'ed p2p devices to work.

Examples: torrents work between nat'ed people, so did starcraft/broodwars (both where everyone connects to everyone)

and the phone required nonsense, grrrrr!! This Internet feels worse than AOL in the 90's!

I've ran into this, sucks so bad, I have to give in to this kind of crap for kids to play w/ their friends otherwise they get left out of friendships.

All this "security" isn't anything other than forced obsolescence. (in all its forms, from phones, etc)

95/98 where good. NT was great. xp, 2000, 2003 was good. windows 7 had some reason but was largely good. windows 8 trash, windows 10, well not as bad as 8, and somehow upgrading to it was at least not as bad as 11..... and 11 was kind of better than 8. Oh yea, vista was garbage.

But 10, and 11 forced MS online only accounts and onedrive and all the spyware and store front crap.... If the Gov was only as corrupt as they where in 90s they would have been taking to cort a dozen times over.

its not free.

Granted sometimes it makes sense to staywith them since there is no competition and they all rape you hard but still those prepaids are a lot cheaper, especially when you include they all charge like $5-10 per line/month for the privilege of not hooking your bank account.

If it was up to me, I wouldnt even have a f**** cell phone. , at least not a plan. Keep mine / the keyboard and replaceable ssd and battery just so I can do maps and wifi usage.

How else are you suppose to buy clothing at costco?

You apparently haven't met very many women, like my wife who uses her space heater even in june/july when I have to hide it from her....

There is still tons and tons of captchas going on. Sure, some of those have been replaced with doing a checkbox, but I am seeing captchas as a whole more now than say 5 years ago.

sure, but they could have still allowed it to work, they chose to make it stop working.

No new features, or bug fixes fine. But to remove windows 7 games from running on windows 7. (or even win xp games)

I swear I have dues ex working on my rig..... I'll have to go double check but I recall doing it somewhat recent...

(sometimes i have to use older wine installs, and or lutris for some games)

What really bothers me, is trying to get older games ported to say ubuntu 10.x or 16.x(from gog), that don't work anymore, or at least wont without a lot of work.

really, only 1? I've run into many "gold" games that should be bronze at best (with pages of people saying how bad it runs in linux), or other more minor annoyances like hell-divers2 not keeping my mouse in the window. Or v-rising that doesnt scale the window right.

Most games I've had to do some tweaks. Some of them having to do with the anti cheat or launcher workaround. Even so much as getting temp banned by attempting to launch the game in linux...(vermintide 2 or was that back4blood....)

but when it comes to using the proton website to fix or optimize things, the suggestions are so random its not really helpful.

But yes, it's amazing how much the games do work under win(when you remove distro wine/mesa/etc and install latest stables) or proton. When steam stops supporting win10 like they F* overed win7, then my kids PC's will have mint xfce or possible popos or Manjaro Linux. Will let the kids pic I suppose.
