all Tinder cares about is keeping you swiping, with your eyes on the screen.

same here. i can pay 120 for cable tv and internet at 250mbps, or 100 for internet that is 50mbps.

but my town is a monopoly. i have zero other internet/cable choices.

When i was in school in the 2000s file sharing basically crippled the campus network until it was banned. A few bad actors were hoarding all the bandwidth and storing copyright violation stuff on school servers.

It’s the protocols more than anything.

stuff with this speeds existed already, it just wasn’t via USB. it was expensive proprietary protocols and hardware and cables. USB is an open standard design for consumer use, and not for giant corps with datacenters who can pay $2,000 for a single data cable.

Thunderbolt is basically a data-transfer focused version of USB, and just requires a different controller that supports the new protocols to achieve the higher speeds.

multiplexing is one way to achieve higher bandwidth and throughput over the same physical cable.

because the us govt doesn’t give a shit about monopolies.

EU might get up in their shit though.

Yep. They are ordinary businesses now, and must seek every increasing profits via squeezing.

The innovation era of big tech is over. The internet is just another utility over which ads must be pumped.

People forget that cable was ad-free went it first started rolling out.

I stopped using it a few years ago because people who harass me based on my reviews, esp if it was a critical review of a popular book.

the feed is trying to get you to look at ads and buy shit. that’s what

Sounds like you’re the one with the superiority complex bro.

because everything needs to grow, or die.

homeostatic states are not a thing that exist in western society.

if you sub to both you’ll see both in your main feed

All i know is I spend half my time on lemmy/kbin now blocking stuff because it’s just stupid meme after meme after meme.

That wasn’t the case a few weeks ago.

And the .1% who create good content get 99% of the shit/harassment form the lurkers and the .9% who create shitty content.
