How, exactly, pray tell, is "properly"?

If the service area is the same, it's probably tunneled. You'd be surprised how much tunneling ISPs use. They're not connecting your network directly to their network.

How much of a deterrent can the police possibly impose that would outweigh the deterrent for not driving illegally, which (in your country) is being starving and homeless?

If you live in a place with consumer protection laws you can probably get a refund on all your games and your console by suing them

Privacy extensions are the reason your ISP can't make you pay money for the number of internet-connected devices at your house.

This would require new software and new ASICs on all hosts and routers and wouldn't be compatible with the old system. If you're going to cause all those things, might as well add 96 new bits instead of just 2 new bits, so you won

IPv6 is literally just IPv4 + longer addresses + really minor tweaks (like no checksum) + things you don't have to use (like SLAAC). Is that not what you wanted? What did you want? And what's wrong with a newer version of a thing

Your IPv4 packets are getting tunneled to a CGNAT server which has an IP address pool. Your website will load faster on cellphones if it supports IPv6. This is because the packets take more direct routes (because they don't go to the c

A great many home ISPs are also IPv6 only, and tunnel your IPv4 packets.

Despite what Cloudflare wants you to think, yes, yes they can. Also you can sue whoever DDoSes you and put them in jail. It's easier than it used to be, since the internet is heavily surveilled now. The malicious actors with really goo

That's not true. Mastodon replicates all your posts to a bunch of other servers you don't control by design, which makes them harder to erase. It's no worse than normal internet publishing, but it doesn't magically solve

That's why companies that actually care about privacy (I think there are only two - Mullvad and Signal?) make a point of not ever capturing the data to begin with, and deleting what they do capture as soon as possible.

Run without swap or with very little swap. I'm serious. Your modern server has enough memory, way more than 4MB, and you care about consistent latency don't you? Also, swap is wearing our your SSD.

No it actually doesn't. It just needs someone in the company executive to not have their head up their ass, and read the law, which is fairly straightforward. Also, it needs your company's business model to not be selling user dat

There were 4 people, but he confessed when questioned. I guess the lesson there is that if you don't want to be convicted of a crime, don't confess to a crime? They won't give you a lighter sentence for confessing.

In most countries the law doesn't say you have to log everything about your users, but it does say that if you log it and the police ask for it then you have to give the data to them.

It was once considered that, but it was never actually that. Ever since it was founded it was locking up or killing the people with different skin colours, over and over and over and over and over!

The web is now hostile. If you're starting a search engine, everyone else has written a robots.txt that bans you from starting a search engine. You either ignore that, or you abandon your plan to make a search engine.

Do you live in a place with consumer protections? Sue them - small claims court.

In China you don't criticise the dictatorship and don't be a Muslim and your quality of life improves every year and you get many cool products and services. In the USA they are disappearing people at random and they are banning t

Well this particular bug was avoided in the C code but not in the Rust code, so if we're going the evidence-based route...

Proton started banning journalists and political dissidents, so they're a joke now.

By selling the default LLM slot, exactly the same way they sell the default search engine slot.

There's no law that says you have to do that. It used to be a sensible thing to do, in the early internet. In the current internet, obeying robots.txt is a self-handicap and you shouldn't do it. DDoS remains illegal regardless of

The other side is a false dichotomy because it implies the only options we have are either blame parents or do nothing.

"computing" is not what today's internet is about. I think you'd actually have more success teaching computing if the internet was turned off.

Your stance is one of those thought-terminating stances. It's not as if parents somehow have more control over their children than the entire world . Yes, they may have a plurality of the influence - they are the single most influen

Humans draw, but humans have been edged out of the business of drawing long ago.
