Counter Pro-tip: No it fucking doesn't.

The internet in the US is not consolidated from an interconnection or control perspective the way that it is in small 3rd world countries with a single national ISP.

In Iran, they called up one guy at one place and said "turn this off or we'll shoot you and your family", in a system designed intentionally from day 1 to have a kill switch. Here that would require thousands of people to take separate actions, most of which have never been done before. If you call up Comcast, ATT, etc. and say "shut off outside internet access to all of your subscriber and transit customers" they will tell you we do not know how to do that.

John Wayne was a nazi

It most certainly does not. Slashdot arrived in 1997. The law in question is Section 230 of the Telecommunications act of 1996

ELNK is still around but they discontinued dial-up in 2024

And yet if you look at your own comment, you'll see but one space. Double whitespace is ignored in HTML by default, so anything going back thru that layer is gonna get spit out with a single space unless the web app in question explicitly puts NBSP codes in

>Remember that FDIC make protect the banks clients, but that money comes from our taxes.

The FDIC receives no taxpayer money. They self-fund, through premiums paid by the member banks that are invested.

Get A to C adapters that fit inside the port and only carry the C to C

They're only advisory. "Standard" German sports cars are still being made with a 155 mph limiter which is a Gentleman's agreement between BMW, M-B, and VWAG going back decades. They'll do that speed through the whole country even though that would only be legal on the Autobahn, even the 2022 and newer models.

This precedent extends back to the 90s

If you think one person dying confirmed from Omicron in the US is a 100% kill rate, you should probably leave the math and statistics to the adults

This is nonsense. Air traffic controllers were federal employees at that time. The president has no power to break any strikes in the private workplace, not that there's even one here in the first place.

Executive orders direct a federal agency to take some action. What federal agency is it that you think he should issue orders to?
You're just making things up because you have no idea how any of this works.

That's because you don't understand it at all.

SDNY is a federal, not state court. You mean the Manhattan District Attorney, or the State AG

You can't get 100 up today on most DOCSIS systems in the US. 100 down, sure, but 100 up? This will drive a lot of fiber even in areas we wouldn't otherwise consider underserved.

Do you think it's a private company that operates the GPS satellites?

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with posting frequency or subscribing. I've been getting mod points regularly for a very long time and post 5 times a year most years. However, I am a regular reader almost every day, and almost always use all of my points. I also have a tendency to use under and overrated more frequently than others, suggesting I am metamoderated less than average? Take these data points for what you will
