Starting today, ISPs must display labels with price, speeds, and data caps
  • My big issue is the data cap, we have three people in our house, two of us are gamers, and one is getting into it now that she has a computer. We've hit our data cap of 1TB every month for the last 3 months, and then they charge is an absurd $20/100GB until you get to 500 GB and then it's "unlimited" but throttled like fuck afterward. And that's on top of our absurd $160/month because they forced me to bundle cable I don't want with it because it somehow costs more if you don't.

    Gotta pay those hard working bit miners in Australia, digging them out of the ground with pickaxes and shoveling them into one end of the Internet to keep the whole thing running or however it works

  • Cable lobby vows “years of litigation” to avoid bans on blocking and throttling
  • My parents live in butt fuck nowhere and are in a fiber co-op paying like $70/month for unlimited 1gbps up/down.

    Meanwhile I live in the (extremely left) Capitol City of my state and pay Comcast $165/month for like 175mbps capped at 1TB, with some absurd overage fee like $10/5GB over until I hit $100 over and then it's "unlimited" but seems throttled.

  • Whenever I see people bemoaning the system, (which I agree is fucked, overall) I always wonder if they've bothered to write/call/harass legislators? Because it's sometimes surprising how much an angry person can accomplish when they decide to be a problem.

    I set up targeted harassment of state legislators on reddit and twitter and managed to get weed legalized after it died in committee in the preceding five years.

  • legs to die for
  • I had never seen one before, and was just settling in after moving into my new apartment when my turn gf just screams and comes running into the kitchen saying, "there's a horrible monster bug in the sink, ITS HUGE"

    And unprepared for the Lovecraftian little horror waiting for me, expecting some kind of beetle or something, I was pretty shook up. Legitimately was scared to go into the kitchen at night after that.

  • legs to die for
  • I developed a theory because of these fuckers, which is that the scale of a things creepiness is based on how many legs it has and how fast they are.

    I used to get them in my last apartment and when I saw one I literally couldn't sleep until I knew it was dead
