Comment on One line of code caused AT&T to lose $60 million
rglullis@communick.news 1 year agoMy point is: getting angry is not enough, and a competition to see who seems the angriest or says the most disparaging thing ends up becoming performative action.
What I’d like to see is people showing real skin in the game. Telcos in the US are running a racket and abuse their de-facto monopoly? Then how about we start looking into companies that provide mesh networks like Fon?
To put in real terms: I know for a fact that I could offer you unlimited phone calls for ~$15 month and have a healthy sustainable operation, but I need at least 100 people to sign up to this just to setup the basic infra. Everyone would be able to make and receive phone and texts, but they would lose some convenient features provided by larger carriers. Are you “so angry” at the big corporations that you’d be willing to go get these 100 people, or is your anger just enough to fuel some occasional rant on an internet forum?

My man’s angry because he can’t afford a house because big corps run our country and you’re saying he’s wrong because he’s not creating his own telecom?

Also, congrats on being the worst type of argumentative person: you said on the previous “getting angry is the first step to get organized”, I give you one example where you can get organized and your response is a complete dishonest misinterpretation bullshit about “starting your own telecom”.
This “so you’re saying” crap is 100% a tell for the terminally online, intellectual-yet-idiots types who can do nothing but blame their failures on something else other than themselves. It’s tiring.

No. I am saying that big corps run your country and you do nothing except being “angry”. Try doing something about it, anything, but please stop acting like all you are able to do is cry on an online forum and misinterpret what other people say.

Bro. Someone made a joke and look where you’ve taken this. Chill out.
