I miss the individuality of the old internet. Websites, communities, and users being themselves.
ShitNugget9000 on one forum might be SirReginald79 on another.
Policies set for the community, not the leaseholder.
The internet controlled by a hegemony sucks.
You can run it on pretty much every esp.
I’ve had issues with getting it working on lilygo devices, but had no problem with basic cheap “devkits” from AliExpress.
It’s pending all its cycles simulating our consciousness simulations, instead of rendering further out.
The ban was specifically in the context of toys.
We banned toy magnets. Magnets for other purposes are still completely legal.
The Snapchat(?) glasses would turn off if you covered the LED.

Well, it was legal to do until relatively recently.
Most cellular data providers I’ve seen use CGNAT.
Hell, the last 3 isps I’ve used have also been CGNAT networks.
And with CGNAT, you share your IP with however many other people. Maybe not at VPN scale, but it’s not 1:1 like it used to be.
Ah yes. The company backed by a hedge fund. The shining model of the underdog if I saw one.
Not mentioned so far:
I will not be surprised when they collectively stop mentioning some facts, then slowly start to deny them, then start to gaslight you into thinking you made it up.

It’s about time we banned CGNAT.
And supposedly; You’re more likely to die from a donkey than a plane.
What do you use to bundle into one file?
At least these ones are flared at the base.
Most common adhesives will be less effective under hot (ie sunlight) conditions.
If you don’t need it to come off, 3Ms GPH (General Purpose High-temp) VHB tape. 50% of your car is probably held together by it.

Eventually, I will find the keys to my lambo.
My gripe with wayland is how it made desktop environments less composable.
With x11 you could sort of mix and match your DE and WM. I could have all the “it just works” everyday computing from Gnome/KDE/xfce/whatever, and the workflow-boost from a Tiling WM. In some cases, making it work was a bodge but it worked.
Now, with Wayland, your WM is effectively your DE. It’s now a constant choice of “do I want tiling? Or do I want to print something, or be able to change my resolution, or to plug a USB stick and mount it without remembering the arcane incantations”.
I just want to be able to print something, and have virtual workspaces per monitor. I could live without tiling.
