I mean yeah that’s true.
But on reddit reposts were everywhere and it was very common for bots to karma farm by doing so, so calling it out had a purpose.
- Comment on Stress 3 weeks ago:
My first instinct was to call this a repost as I remember seeing this like 4 years ago on reddit but this is a different platform altogether.
Though it Is worth the reminder to Treat yo self

- Comment on Sony, Ubisoft scandals prompt California ban on deceptive sales of digital goods 1 month ago:
About god-damned time someone did something about that.
Not great that it had to be California legislating it for the rest of the country but we’d pass out if we held our breath on Congress doing anything useful

I would downvote this if I could.
This kind of shit is what’s actively making the internet a worse experience.
No human wants to read generic drivel written by a machine, let alone being fooled into clicking on this asshole’s website because they gamed the search engine to get their garbage ranked higher on the list

Oh that’s why no videos would load.
Damn it

Oh I’m sure they are especially the poor saps on nuclear submarines. But now the guys on ships can get the fresh stuff off onlyfans and whatever the new fmovies is. Hooray for living in the future!

Perfect now they can sit on the toilet while scrolling through their phones in the middle of the Atlantic now too!
- Comment on Twitter/X CEO Linda Yaccarino Files Antitrust Suit Against Advertising Groups Over "Systemic Illegal Boycott" 3 months ago:
So Twitter is suing because they’re no longer getting money from people who are boycotting them 🤔
- Comment on The only thing that is preventing basic living essentials for costing more is whether the capitalist class feel like rising the price or not. 11 months ago:
Do we know who is setting the price higher? Is it more like it’s 6% higher but so is everything else or more of the manufacturer selling to the storefronts at a higher cost thus forcing grocery stores to set the price higher by 6%?
Because it informs who we should be mad at

Right? News headlines are all Faster Than Expected these days.
We’re already seeing crop failure in bits
- Comment on Wisconsin Pushing Bill That Requires Websites To Treat All Users As If They’re Children 1 year ago:
And that would mean most sites would ban Wisconsin addresses. Hopefully Evers vetoes that because we all know what party pushed this unrealistic idea
- Comment on Watching TV shows or movies that display Russia as a military superpower is almost surreal nowadays. 1 year ago:
I recently saw the Rambo movies for the first time, and yeah I laughed about how they portrayed the russians.
Really goes to show that perception management is an effective strategy as long as thats all you do.
- Comment on Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own? 1 year ago:
Have tried that one. They are now collecting dust on a shelf somewhere. She got used to just letting it blare when she lived alone and doesn’t seem willing to change that now that she’s not. I tolerate it because she’s family and like her otherwise.
- Comment on Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own? 1 year ago:
I don’t know the full history of my isp but this sounds about right, looks like I could pay a little more for a good bump in speed.
I’ll probably just go ahead with that but set up my own router anyway because there’s other benefits besides prioritizing traffic
- Comment on Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own? 1 year ago:
Huh, so its not so harebrained of an idea under the right circumstances after all. Good to know
- Comment on Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own? 1 year ago:
Now that a day and the annoyance have passed and many replies have pointed out, there’s clearly better ways to solve this.
One being I should probably pay a bit more for the not hugely throttled connection speed, or ask the ISP to set their router to bridge mode. But probably both.
- Comment on Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own? 1 year ago:
Shockingly, no. I was floored that I can’t even change this on my own.
With this ISP you have to tell them over the phone, letter by letter, what you want your new password to be. Hell, when setting up service you have you write out your info including password on paper then drop it off at their office. This is what I get for going with the local fiber internet ISP. The alternatives around here are basically cell data powered internet or starlink.

This is what I intended to do, but the ISP’s modem/router wont let you change any settings and has no antennae that i can remove. But then again, I got the ‘that does it, im solving this’ itch to solve the problem on a Saturday when their customer service line is closed. The real solution is going to be waiting til monday and asking nicely to change a setting or two.
- Comment on Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own? 1 year ago:
I mean, you’re not wrong, but I reached that breaking point where you’re just annoyed enough to start looking how to fix the annoyance, and it’s a Saturday when the isp office is closed. I’ll probably just call them Monday morning and see if the suggestions from other replies will do the trick
The intent was to only faraday cage the isp router, not my own
