I talked with dozens of kids today about it

2017-12-15 02:44:42 UTC  

they are fucking hysterical airheads who lack critical thinking capacity

2017-12-15 02:44:52 UTC  

they were like muh pay for pornhub muh pay for instagram

2017-12-15 02:44:56 UTC  

AND I THINK THE SAME OF CERTAIN DISCORD USERS <:tipsfedora:383326576609329162>

2017-12-15 02:45:08 UTC  

Every term the FCC will change its opinion

2017-12-15 02:45:17 UTC  

and even with Wheeler they didnt do shit

2017-12-15 02:45:23 UTC  

things like this makes me hate the average man

2017-12-15 02:45:56 UTC  

"we have NN yaaaay lets lounge around for a few years instead of using the new legal power to do anything"

2017-12-15 02:46:00 UTC  

fucking cunts

2017-12-15 02:51:12 UTC  

will the big tech cos be forced to foot the bill

2017-12-15 02:51:26 UTC  

or will they defer it to their users

2017-12-15 02:51:38 UTC  

YouTube operates at a loss so does it matter

2017-12-15 02:52:22 UTC  

Netflix is obviously going to be $20/mo in 2 years because of all the money they are spending on TV and movies

2017-12-15 03:34:54 UTC  

Good boy, stopping those giant leggy things.

2017-12-15 03:36:19 UTC  

@Matthew i think the former thing you said is more likely

2017-12-15 03:36:40 UTC  

normies will just cancel their service and use their phone exclusively instead

2017-12-15 03:36:47 UTC  

since there won't be a point to paying for both anymore

2017-12-15 03:37:08 UTC  

ISPs know this, so they'll probably keep the fuckery to businesses competing with their cable service

2017-12-15 03:37:14 UTC  

just like they did before NN

2017-12-15 03:37:43 UTC  

remember: people like us who use the internet at their desktop/laptop all day and night, we're a tiny minority

2017-12-15 03:37:48 UTC  

eh people stream alot of netflix etc now

2017-12-15 03:38:53 UTC  

I think phone providers would start pushing mobile hotspot features harder to account for that

2017-12-15 03:39:22 UTC  

easy way to tack $10/mo or whatever extra on and sell to the consumer as cheaper than copper or fiber isp

2017-12-15 03:40:07 UTC  

i don't think so, my phone provider charged for tethering all through NN's existence

2017-12-15 03:40:18 UTC  

was only $5/mo so whatever

2017-12-15 03:40:50 UTC  

now they have BYOD finally, so i should probs cut that off my plan and just, yknow

2017-12-15 03:40:58 UTC  

build something with a second nic and bridge it

2017-12-15 03:42:11 UTC  

there's even raspberry pi hats for doing exactly that, ezpz

2017-12-15 03:47:08 UTC  

@Wes no, pretty much exclusively either an under the table effort for those with access to larger servers or people with enough money to make a large farm.

2017-12-15 03:47:11 UTC  

@i○bas what's some good books to educate myself?

2017-12-15 03:52:26 UTC  

@johnfrum Yeah I've been checking the profibility recently, because bitcoin has gone up a ton, mining profits have went to around 25% - 30% of what they were 1-2 months ago, so not worth it atm

2017-12-15 03:53:21 UTC  

But a couple months ago you could pull in a cool $25 - $30 profit per day for minimal work

2017-12-15 03:56:27 UTC  

Sure, once you set up a a several thousand dollar mining rig and fed it kilowatts of electricity and even then you wouldn't have been making anywhere near 25-30 a day unless you're talking about what eventually would have happened.

It stopped being profitable to mine ages ago.

2017-12-15 03:56:52 UTC  

You're not referring to ETH are you? BTC has been unprofitable for *years* if you're not a chink with a mining farm and free electricity

2017-12-15 03:56:59 UTC  
2017-12-15 03:57:41 UTC  

I managed to make 2k (current prices) out of ETH before backing out around August because it just wasn't worth it anymore

2017-12-15 03:58:19 UTC  

and I only started mining around March

2017-12-15 03:58:31 UTC  

went from lucrative to nothing in the blink of an eye

2017-12-15 04:51:10 UTC  

We’ve only had NN for two fucking years. Nothing happened before

2017-12-15 04:51:29 UTC  

See

2017-12-15 04:51:39 UTC  

teh solution is to litearlly firebomb and kill CEOs if things go south
