LoL... sharing your IP with a hacked server doesn't really affect me... but when I use magnets links from my home IP, I keep being harassed by Comcast.

IRC is great and you can do SSL connections and also encrypted DCC transfers on some servers (Abjects/#moviegods, for example)

I wish we would call lobbying BRIBES, because that is what it is and it is illegal, I hope.

Why are those things important? I think the most important things when talking about the web are huge corporations and innovators.

There must be a bug in this generator because I keep seeing those long lines of same-color pixels... pseudo-random, maybe?
Should have used the lava-lamp number generator.......

One thing that's not going to change is that things will keep changing for no good reasons because engineers need something to do.

except that they don't enforce much rules when it comes to food. Two examples are fish and olive oil... you probably will never know if you got what you paid for... They just don't inspect. It's probably a bigger problem for fish, because you can get fish that taste about the same but is full of mercury or other toxins.

there's central box(es) that look like this that connects nearby homes: https://i.imgur.com/W2L7Nz3.png
Fiber often go to these boxes and then copper to your home, and Comcast like to lie to you and tell you fiber goes to your home

I don't think that's true in the medium term... definitely not in the long term... and maybe not even in the short term.

corporate tax increases will just get passed on to consumers...
And mining taxes on power usage is just ridiculous... why don't you add an extra tax on gold used for jewelry too? and luxury cars, yachts, and anything that isn't really useful?
