Maybe, but I don’t think “tens of thousands” would be blocked from voting through ICE simply being at the polling locations. Maybe that would be possible through spreading fear that they might be there, that sure sounds a lot like what’s happening with this post.
That’s not even counting states that have mail in voting with dropboxes. Yes, they’re trying to restrict mail in voting but it all seems like it’s around postmark dates which do not apply to drop boxes (the drop boxes have the same deadline as voting in person). Good luck putting an agent at every dropbox in the country, it’s just not going to happen.
KDE’s is different (and better) in that it seemingly has no cap on the size you can make the cursor. You can get your cursor bigger than your display.
Just scarred from all the times where we spend x billion to expand fiber, it doesn’t happen, somehow nobody gets held accountable.
That’s because historically, major ISPs have been given the grants (including Starlink) instead of PUDs. Public fiber is entirely different, it’s managed and installed like a public utility, not a service to be capitalized on. This is why I’ve been so focused on saying that SpaceX should never have been given $1 billion dollars. It shouldn’t have been given to any non public organization.
The FCC is the Federal Communication Commission for the US. They’re a US federal agency meant to do domestic policy in anything telecom and radio.
The intent of the subsidies was not for ships or international communication. It was meant for rural US properties. That’s why it should have been allocated to PUDs (public utility district). It would have been more useful for the people paying the taxes to give broadband subsidies.
Shipping companies can pay their own way - they’re corporations and can afford it. The subsides should not have gone to SpaceX.
Seattle typically doesn’t get hail core cumulonimbus (supercells). Plus, I’m not saying that it completely fails with just cloudy weather alone. Note that I said capacity, which is absolutely affected by moderate to heavy cloud cover or not being able to see the sky. Diminished capacity doesn’t mean it fails, it means that it’s slower, higher latency, and less reliable. In extreme cases involving hail storms (like I mentioned), it can and does fail - you can see this in the storm chaser streaming circles. Their streams cut out completely at times, if the satellites are between the storm and their antenna.
I am simply bringing up an edge case since the person who originally replied brought up ships when I was talking about rural fiber.
My point is still that SpaceX shouldn’t have gotten FCC subsidies when a more reliable, cheaper (especially in the long run since we’re talking about LEO), higher bandwidth, lower latency option exists. PUDs should have gotten all of that cash, not a different, large ISP owned by a billionaire.
An added bonus to fiber: it doesn’t ruin ground based astronomy.
I know not all remote areas can be reached by fiber
Did you miss this part? You’re arguing over something I didn’t claim, and didn’t say.
But since you brought it up, SpaceX received nearly $1 billion in subsidies from the FCC in 2020 to support rural customers. That money is what I’m talking about. It wasn’t for ships. It was to connect rural customers because it would otherwise not be profitable for large ISPs to serve them. This billion should have gone to supporting county PUDs, not a rich nazi fuck’s company. It should have stayed with the public.
Unless you’re saying that the billion from taxpayers should have been given to him to support ships in international waters?
As a bonus, fiber doesn’t lose capacity just because it gets cloudy. Try using Starlink when a cumulonimbus cloud is overhead.
It would be better to support public fiber infrastructure (through PUDs) in almost every way. I know not all remote areas can be reached with fiber, but most rural areas can be. My county has done exactly that with the rural portions - they focused on rolling it out to underserved rural areas first (even though it was more expensive to do that up front). Now, those rural areas have gigabit fiber and they didn’t have to pay tens of thousands to wire it up to their homes.
Sorry, the best I can do is gut healthcare, take the tiny amount of grant money that LGBTQIA organizations get, and give all of that money to the billionaire class. Oh, and invading another country, of course.
I’m surprised every time they’ve uploaded a video since all of the Trump bullshit. Still great quality, too. Hopefully they keep flying under the radar.
I hope these videos follow them for the rest of their lives. Especially that bit where Justin Fox called a holocaust documentary “inheritly discriminatory” because it focused on “females” and “Jewish people”. 54:10 in this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=TZheRo273ns
Oh, and the part where he said that a documentary about an anti-black massacre is DEI and “not to the benefit of human kind because it focuses on a specific race, here being black” (and therefore the grant should be terminated). 28:11 in this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=qtFdVtBb75s
Of course, there’s more, like allowing ChatGPT to hallucinate and incorrectly mark grants as DEI, and then basically just having it do his entire “job”. He couldn’t even define what DEI is, and constantly said “I’ll have to refer to the EO.” He seemed to just slap the entire EO and grant list into the slop generator and accept whatever the output was, and then sent the slop up the chain.
Remember, Justin Fox is a racist, antisemitic, homophobic, transphobic piece of shit that couldn’t even do his basic, yet high paying job correctly. Because of Justin Fox, hundreds of thousands lost their jobs, and people have died because of him. He also failed to make any sort of dent in the ever-growing deficit, so it was all for nothing. Justin Fox is a terrible person and employee, and no company should waste their time with hiring him in the future.

Jesus Christ, every time sex work is mentioned it brings out the anti-sex work incels and freaks. At least you guys make it easy to figure out who to block.
You’re doing the right thing for yourself, definitely don’t come here any time soon.
Their plan is to sit on their ass and complain on the internet about anything they perceive as not enough.
We’re already in a recession, imo.
I’m glad to see that Graphene won’t be doing the age verification thing, because I’m afraid all new phones (including TracFones) will require it moving forward. But the hardware limitations will continue to be a blocker for people with cheap phones.
I agree on wanting to ditch my phone altogether. Maybe if I can retire, I can ditch it.
Apple has their own SoCs based on ARM called “Apple Silicon”
Yeah, hopefully worst case, Motorola just doesn’t ship them with Graphene (which could be a security risk anyway). Then they’d be off the hook.
Lmao, so we’re waiting for a payoff while at the same time expecting that “agents” are going to change everything? It’s almost like it’s a lose-lose situation. A bubble, you could say!
