The entire e administration as well as ice should be put into camps after this is said and done.

[-] iltoroargento@startrek.website 53 points 3 weeks ago

I prefer high security jail, and trials to make Nuremberg blush.

[-] Trampampoline@sh.itjust.works 34 points 3 weeks ago

No socialism for fascists. They like the death penalty so much, I say 'oblige them', in no sweeter terms.

[-] iltoroargento@startrek.website 18 points 3 weeks ago

We really did not execute enough at Nuremberg. I agree that prison would be a waste with such crimes.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

They keep unironically saying it's "open season" of Dems and liberals, so I say let's flip it the fuck around.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I have bad news for how the Nuremberg trials generally wound up.

[-] iltoroargento@startrek.website 2 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed. We gotta do better this time.

[-] Pollo_Jack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Have we not wasted enough resources on them? Put them to good use and bury them. Let's focus on rebuilding.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly. Send them all to antarctica.

[-] gh0stcassette 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Put them all on a spacex starship (for maximum irony) and fly it into the sun. Livestream the entire months-long journey to the sun so we can watch them slowly go insane and turn against each other. 70% odds they don't even make it all the way to the sun😭

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I've long advocated for a reality tv show where we send the richest assholes in society into a 1 way rocket trip to the sun.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

That'll drive the flerfs wild!

My ISP every few months:

"We can upgrade yo-

Does the upload speed upgrade too?

"Well, no- click

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 25 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

My favorite is Spectum’s “Gig” (I guess too many people can’t pronounce 1 Gbps) plan is like, significantly slower than their 600 Mbps or even their 400 Mbps like 80% of the time.

[-] moondoggie@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

One guhbips

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 3 points 2 weeks ago

Giga is the Spanish word, so they might just use it because it's more bilingual friendly

[-] Goodeye8@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

I doubt it has anything to do with Spanish. The G in Gbps stands for giga because that's the SI prefix for 10 to the power of 9 or 1000 bigger than mega. Calling it a gig is just a lazy wording.

[-] Baguette 5 points 2 weeks ago

I call it gig, it's a pretty common abbreviation IMO, like 32 gigs of ram.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I just switched ISPs because the one I had never gave me the speed I was paying out the ass for and had constant outages. I switched and became the first house in my street with fiber. Now everyone is getting it. My bill is also $50 less than it was before. Only upsides. I think the deals are so good because my new ISP used to be terrible until the company got bought out and renamed. Now they're the best around me by far.

[-] Adalast@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I had AT&T Gigabit symmetric fiber once and it was glorious.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Well they makes me curious what the "upgrade" entails. 🤔 Have they ever told you?

[-] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 55 points 3 weeks ago

Hey, that doesn't make any sense! In 2024, lemmy.ml assured us all that Biden hadn't made any improvements to America!

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Again, if they have the technology to correctly bill you for those fees, they have the technology to tell you what they are before they bill you for them. It's the same damn thing.

[-] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Putting in the "fuck you" charge internally is easy.

Coming up with a convincing name on the bill is hard.

[-] Trampampoline@sh.itjust.works 34 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Looks like I'm aiming pringles can directional antennas at McDonalds again like the 00's.

[-] fullsquare@awful.systems 22 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

pringles can is too small, you need a can 8cm in diameter minimum. 400ml cans won't do but bigger ones, 800ml, 1200ml will work https://www.wikarekare.org/Antenna/WaveguideCan.html

[-] bigfish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 weeks ago

Old folgers coffee can it is.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Pringles is no yagi?

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 33 points 3 weeks ago

Internet in America has always been a ripoff.

[-] raman_klogius@ani.social 9 points 3 weeks ago

But... The efficiency of consolidation!! /$

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 4 points 2 weeks ago

What would you expect in a 1st world country?

Gotta nationalize public utilities for that to be decent.

[-] huquad@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

Especially when you consider how many subsidies the telecoms get

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah it's not even funny to taunt you any more. I mean in like 2014 sure, but today it's more sad.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

This kind of shit is why the CFPB was and very much IS needed!

And also a classic case of regulatory capture, of course.

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 weeks ago

I can't really blame them. Counting all of that profit money takes a whole shitload of time and leaves very little room for value.

[-] Sophocles@infosec.pub 11 points 2 weeks ago

If you ever get tired of ISP garbage, Calyx offers unlimited internet as long as you are in 4G/5G range. Your payment also goes to supporting a privacy rights group instead of down the corporate drain

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 7 points 2 weeks ago

This is actually pretty neat.

The case, settled ten years after it was filed, influenced how the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) can acquire personal information. Inspired by this, Merrill founded the Calyx Institute, a 501(c)(3) organization, to raise awareness about online privacy, surveillance, and accessibility through software development, research advocacy, and cross-sector partnerships.

That sounds like a bigger nightmare
