Not at all, it has to be flipped off before you can turn it back on.

It’s as simple as this:

If my ISP charges me for X connection speed, I should be able to use what I paid for. Bandwidth caps make no sense, “internet” is not a resource that has to be generated.

What happened in the pandemic was the first real test displaying very clearly that ISPs are overselling/overprovisioning their network, and hoping we don’t notice that they haven’t actually used the money to upgrade or improve their network.

It’s easy to point the finger at the big bandwidth sources and ask for more money, but it’s wrong and it’s double-dipping. They’re using Twitch and Netflix as the scapegoat for their lack of reinvestment.

This is a bad take, and the antithesis of net neutrality.

If the customer pays for a connection, the ISP should be able to provide that. Why does it matter if it’s Twitch or Netflix traffic vs anything else?

android has allowed 3rd party app stores since day 1 so this is going to be an issue on the iPhone how?

What he really means is “we want our 30% cut”

The entitlement is crazy on lemmy.

Google doesn’t owe you anything, video hosting is extremely expensive. There’s a reason no competitor exists.

How dare they charge to deliver you a service?

OP is probably referring to allowing side loading.

For real, if I could block lemmynsfw that would remove 90% of the porn from my feed.

I swear I blocked every community on there but more keep showing up…

Every device requires a maintainer, someone who builds Lineage specifically for that device.

On top of that most of these OEMs don’t provide device firmware drivers publicly (camera, modem, speakers, etc), so the maintainer has to either use a generic driver (which typically sucks), or reverse engineer something more suitable.

It’s just a time and effort thing. As with all open source projects it relies on the community to volunteer their time for the benefit of others.
