It’s almost funny. Honestly, the only way I can see them regaining any trust at all is by a complete change in leadership and increased transparency and accountability.
so obviously it is not happening, and by the time the CEO is replaced it will be too late
Picture of a freedom loving American and an illegal alien from New Mexico.
Can you share example pictures what you mean?
shotgun_aarch64_arm_explodit, you never used it?
That’s how it supposed to be done.
I’m jealous.
I love when FCC at least appears to do something, not like under Shit Pai.
Frankly though they should revise Title II classification for the Internet and remove exception from the requirement to share last mile to competitors. This is the main reason there’s almost no competition. It doesn’t make sense for every single ISP to run lines to every home. Those lines should be leaseable.
They could always remove those complex fees and make the bill simpler…
It is privacy. I don’t have mess, just don’t feel like sharing inside of my house with strangers. Maybe I’m working in weird company, but I noticed that vast majority of coworkers either have camera off, blurs the background or sets up a fake one.
I’m guessing you don’t work in corporate environment or no longer work from home.
There are times when video is expected to be on, but you don’t want to show your room to everyone.
Having said that I can’t think of firefox being able to stream video yet not being able to do this, so likely it is Google’s way to make its competitor look subpar. Probably can be fixed by spoofing user agent. Ironically the most recent change in Chrome will make this very difficult in the future.
Did you try agent spoofing (which probably won’t work in the future because of this). This sounds like things Microsoft (and now Google) does to make their product look better.
If you want to have choice in the future you should go with Firefox. Google is close to (or maybe already did) make Chrome equivalent of the Internet Explorer.
The better thing to what was with IE is that majority of websites still work fine in Firefox and people who stick to Chrome just do due to mostly ignorance.
We are assuming they were alive when the plane lifted off.
I guess it wasn’t burning twice as bright.
As somebody who immigrated to the US, I came to conclusion that a lot of the world is far more racist. US is just openly fighting that so it is much more visible.
Federation is like instead of having single reddit you would have many different reddits under different domains, they have their own subreddits. You don’t need to create separate account on every reddit, you can theoretically access those subreddits from any of those reddit servers.
Now, defederation is breaking that. If there’s reddit-A and reddit-B, you have account on reddit-A and they both de-federated, you won’t be able to access subreddits from reddit-B.
I think one of lemmy servers that defederates the most is perhaps beehaw.org. Their goal is to create welcoming space accepting everyone. So they defederated from servers that they believe is ruining that experience, either because admins of those servers are not proactive, or outright support stances that beehaw.org does not tolerate.
Maybe some kind of write-off that only creative accountants know about?
With ISP what is really need is Local-loop unbundling but extending to ISPs.
Those that are old enough to use DSL in early 2000, might remember there was a lot of ISPs to chose from. The reason for it was that due to Title II telco companies were required to lease lines to their competitors. When cable started to be popular, ISPs lobbied politicians to categorize it under Title I which removed that requirement. We got Internet back to be categorized as Title II, but this specific rule was excluded and this is what is necessary to bring the competition.
If it is too hard, I’ll be ok if they just skip it and won’t charge it.
The difference is different admins, different policy (for example one lemmy could let anyone in, another, like beehaw asks to write why they should let you in, and that you will obey their rules).
There are also things like some settings, for example beehaw disables downvotes, they also don’t federate with lemmy servers that notoriously break their policies.
So best bet would be to choose server which policy fits you the best.
Also some people might want to choose the biggest and most open server. That could be good but because the server is open to everyone it might struggle fighting abuse and also go down because of high load. Such server is lemmy.world right now.

Why not stretch him more?
