  Spectrum had a policy like this at one point. They’d shut you off after a couple of instances of p2p that were reported. Afterwards, they directed you into a captive portal with some plausible deniability where you had to say “I don’t know what happened, but it won’t happen again”.

  Nowadays they just send you an email but don’t restrict access.

  Either way the Internet isn’t too safe, protect yourself with at least a VPN.

  Give it a week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is anti-propaganda?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of the people that say they are anti-antifa.

  "Anti-propaganda aims to undermine the effectiveness of propaganda by exposing its manipulative tactics, providing alternative perspectives, or offering factual information to counter biased claims.

  I’d pick my battles and try to address the most harmful lines of thought first. Like anything medical for example. Deprogramming is a popular topic online so there are some resources out there.

  Best of luck, it’ll be difficult until you find a foothold.

  Just determining the requirements would be a nightmare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve worked on teams converting legacy code for most of my life. The planning for something like this would take longer than six months.

  If this proceeds in Trump’s corrupt government, Elon will get the contact, will claim it is too broken to salvage, and will privatize it. The only way this goes anywhere is if Trump and musk stand to gain money, and they stand to gain a lot.

  I want to use VoIP to dial into a BBS to play some legend of the red dragon.

  I feel lied to and taken advantage of. Nicole, I thought we were pals!?

  I just got one the other day too! I’m very excited to make new friends like Nicole on this website.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One in 15 Americans has witnessed a mass shooting – study⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Those numbers seem really high. I live in a city with a lot of gun violence; I hear gunshots weekly, but I have never witnessed a shooting of another person. I have seen videos of local gun violence online and in the news, but I have a hard time believing it is that prevalent.

  What if it was awful?

  I just want a good bun and a line of mustard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No good excuse to still be on Xitter⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s usually there so people seek out the only fans / subscription content. Additionally for general exposure (ha!), likes and followers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Greenland | Poll: 85% of Greenlanders do not want to be part of the US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m smack dab in the middle of the US and I don’t want to be part of it, currently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA | Doctors say they’ve unfairly taken on job of preventing patients’ medical debt⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m no greek scholar, but I don’t believe navigating a system of middle-man bean counters was what they had in mind.

  I would never sign up for this or install the app, but it is a good way to broach the topic of privacy laws.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I’d find another job first. Once that is secure I’d plan my exit.

  If your company does exit interviews I’d be frank and honest about your reasons for leaving. Consider having a quick outline prepared of what you want to tell them. I don’t burn bridges on my way out when possible, but if you can articulate your problems well it might help the next person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A person was probably heating up some pee on the way to cheat a drug test. They have little thermometer strips on the side, like what you see on a fish tank, to help verify the sample wasn’t brought in or tampered with.

  I’d have some Oat Milky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOJ to ask judge to force Google to sell off Chrome, Bloomberg reports⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems like a sensible consumer protection to not let the ad company control the biggest web browser. I won’t hold my breath, but I’m glad they are trying something.

  AWS should also be split from Amazon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been writing code professionally for nearly two decades, and I love having copilot available in my IDE. When there is some boilerplate or a SQL query I just don’t want to write, it’ll oftentimes get me started with something reasonable that is wrong in a couple of subtle ways. I then fix it, laugh at how wrong it was, or use part of the proposed answer in my project.

  If you’re a non-corder, sure it is pure danger, but if you know what you’re doing it can give you a little boost. Only time will tell if it makes me rusty on some basics, but it is another tool in the toolbox now.

  The other option is for all the mods to quit. AI can probably do a lot of basic tasks, but without mods they wouldn’t have a site pretty quickly.
