This is not a valid comparison. The USAID program was a purely voluntary system that injected money overseas to help struggling areas. It not being there means life just returned to normal.

Typical arrogant elitist thieving colonialist bullshit. The wealthy countries got that way by stealing from less developed countries, USAID is a way of slightly making redress for that. You sound exactly like the fuckheads who say we should let Ukraine fend for itself when they only gave up their nuclear program because we promised to protect them. Fuck you and the horse that rode in on you.

I'm not aware that any of the corporations which provide the actual "backbone" of the internet , which is to say all the relays and address handlers, are in any way blocking or deleting any traffic.

Straw man noted and sn!ggered at.

Oh look, the word filter is shit as usual.

"The "people" presumably the public have zero clue what work you directly produced. They see a road was built. They elected an official who ran on a policy of building roads. No one cares if "Arrogant-Bastard" (LOL, thanks, I don't often get a chuckle when looking up who I'm talking to, though you don't come across as one :-) ), did the soil load calculation of the road."

This is not only false in that there are people who care, but it's also false in that they have a right to know and they can get that information via FOIA request in the US.

The Internet is by definition a network of networks. Therefore how you define it will be defined by how you define networks. However, since a reasonable definition of a network includes all of the devices on that network, it is also reasonable to include the functions provided by those devices.

The internet IS bloodsucking corporations, that's the rub. In early days it was a bunch of schools. Under their benevolent stewardship, the Internet flourished. When its mission was research, it was healthy. As corporations took over providing the backbone, it became ever more malignant. This should lead to obvious conclusions about the influence of the profit motive on all things, but too many people have been brainwashed by prosperity theologists to get it.

What an inane comment. If you're not getting something from AI, you are either using it wrong or not using it.

Tell us you didn't understand the statement without telling us.

I have a company full of software engineers, this is real.

Double down on telling us you understand nothing about this conversation. You actually manage people? Here's how it works: Until AI can pay for itself, it's a net negative. You're chained to a rock sitting on a melting ice floe.
