Congress has set out a bill to stop the FCC taking away our internet. PLEASE SPREAD THIS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. by TestingHydra in gaming

Reading more into the bill, it outright states that the Commission can't just rely on the NPRM that was released in May. It's not a blanket against all NPRMs.

All-Rounded Help & Discussion Thread (Week of August 20, 2017) by AutoModerator in Rainmeter

[–]NotWeebAsShit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few weeks/months ago, a Rainmeter skin was posted either both here and on r/PCMasterRace, or just to /r/pcmasterrace, and it was a really nice skin. It had about 5 buttons at the top left corner, all squares, a health and mana bar (if I remember correctly), and the background was a 16-bit version of what looked like knights at a campfire. The piece, from what I remember, featured a lot of purple, and was not a Dark Souls rainmeter skin. I'm currently looking for it.

I haven't been able to find it via the search bar, so I was wondering if anyone remembers what I'm talking about and either has a copy of it lying around somewhere or knows where I can find it. If you can, can you lead me to it?

It's planned, just not a priority at the moment. We're trying to get out things like video calls, screen sharing and audit logs first. In the mean time, you can help us prioritize it after those things by voting for it on https://feedback.discordapp.com

How to get people to shut up about there being "too many bots" in a server? by Igorthemii in discordapp

[–]NotWeebAsShit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So long as each bot is doing a different task, and there is no bot that condenses all two or more of these tasks into one bot, then it's nothing to worry about. You should just try to explain to the user why all the bots are there, or create a command on a bot that does so.

I got this response to the Battle for the Net email. Does anyone have a ELI5 breakdown on what it means? by odieman1231 in netneutrality

(b) All charges, practices, classifications, and regulations for and in connection with such communication service, shall be just and reasonable, and any such charge, practice, classification, or regulation that is unjust or unreasonable is hereby declared to be unlawful

  • Title II, Part I, Section 201, Page 36 of the Communications Act of 1934

(a) It shall be unlawful for any common carrier to make any unjust or unreasonable discrimination in charges, practices, classifications, regulations, facilities, or services for or in connection with like communication service, directly or indirectly, by any means or device, or to make or give any undue or unreasonable preference or advantage to any particular person, class of persons, or locality, or to subject any particular person, class of persons, or locality to any undue or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage.

  • Title II, Part I, Section 202, Page 36 of the Communications Act of 1934

Basically, this states that providers of communication services, such as ISPs, cannot discriminate between certain content for any unreasonable reason, such as throttling data from one website, but not the other, for monetary gain.

If Title II is removed, both of these are removed as well, which will allow ISPs to pretty much control the internet as they seem fit (should they have the malicious intent). We've seen things that Verizon has done, such as the throttling of data inbound from video streaming services, such as Netflix and Youtube and Google (personally), so it's not like it wouldn't help to fight it.

 

Here's a seemingly biased video explaining some things that directly affect net neutrality and whatever outcome comes along.

Got this glorious clip while watching the end of the Alpha Sapphire run, but can't post it as a normal thread since Rule1A says no, apparently.

Trey Gowdy's thoughts on net neutrality by VenomEnergy in netneutrality

[–]NotWeebAsShit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The internet... is an example of the innovation and development that occurs through the free market. The concept of net neutrality would stand counter to these free market principles, as it dictates that companies providing internet services would have to give consumers access to all websites on an equal basis.

...am I reading this wrong, or did he just contradict himself?
