  • You exemplify #5 and are apparently a boot licker since you support gun control. Probably red flag laws too! Disgusting!

    If you understood this basic math you speak of, you’d know that literally no govt ever lays down arms next to it’s citizens. Gun control is control of the populace. Nothing less. How can you say with a straight face that you support only the govt having firearms when the last 100 years have shown humanity what happens when govt has too much power. Every country that has taken away firearms has had not a decrease in violence but am increase! Are you aware that home invasions are higher after confiscation? Other violence too, but let’s just consider the horror of having armed invaders in your castle, raping and hurting your family.

    I am no troll. I am an absolutist. As recently ruled, illegal immigrants have the same inalienable rights as a citizen to the entirety of the bill of rights. The felon that has served his time and deemed safe to release into society absolutely gains all his rights upon release.

    You claim we - who is we? The liberal (in the true sense of the word) gun owner? - keep killing each other. Who is killing whom? The gangs and the criminals. So you DEMAND that the innocent be disarmed? How stupid! How can you claim logic and reason yet make such a statement! Only a fool argues that sheep remove their teeth when the wolf bites!

    And feminism is anti liberal (again, the true sense of the word). Feminism is the worship and the belief of superiority of one sex over another. How bigoted and ignorant. Feminism destroys the family unit, peaceful society, and is antithetical to biological predispositions that allow man and woman live in peace and happiness with one another. I can already see your pathetic response that women deserve equal rights to men. Please tell me this: What right does a man have today that a woman does not?

    If I am a troll, it is because I mistook this sub for one where gun rights are respected. I see that some believe this is the place to complain about guns, not support them. How sad and pathetic.

    I wish you no harm. Only that you are cleansed of this brainwashed set of ideals that do nothing to support the ideal that all men (and women - as I’m sure you don’t understand English grammar enough to know that means both sexes) are allowed to defend themselves any way necessary to preserve their life and liberty.



  • In no particular order…

    1. Many men are total pussies and would never consider self defense to the point of killing someone something they would do.
    2. Somewhat contradictally, people don’t trust themselves with a gun, so therefore, they don’t trust others with guns.
    3. Feminism. Feminism raises mothering to a societal level. Women want everyone to be protected and safe via the a motherly govt overlord. Women intrinsically desire equal outcome. That requires communism. So any means to achieve that. Like authoritarianism.
    4. The rise of Marxism and authoritarianism. Many people want to be told what to do. That only works on a broad scale if the people who refuse are unarmed.
    5. Ignorance. Cognitive dissonance. Narcissism. Lack of critical thinking skills. Inability to set feelings aside and consider things logically.
    6. Brainwashing. There’s about 3 generations that have grown up with commie public schools telling them guns are bad. I’ve converted quite a few democrats from gun fear to fun by just taking them shooting and covering the $40 worth of ammo they use up.






  • First, sandvine calls it an app for legacy reasons, but 100% that is the bit torrent protocol. I have insider knowledge that this is the case. So don’t get hung up on that. But you’re right to doubt them. They are a shell of what they once were. Their fixed deployments are quite small now and do not represent fiber at all, which just hit over 50% in availability in dense US areas. Sandvine is still in Comcast at 100% coverage and in Cox, but they’re tiny. Sandvine is a bit sparse in mobile, but still there solidly. I believe that bit torrent is rare in mobile. Like no shit. I believe them that it’s down in fixed copper (dsl and cable). But they’re missing 100% of fiber. Sandvine does pattern recognition primarily. It used to be great. I suspect it’s still pretty good. They claim better than 90% accuracy. I’m sure the data they have is correct. But what they get from their customers is definitely questionable at times. They’ve made some huge mistakes in the past, grabbing data for too short a period of time or not across a broad enough customer base. I’m sure that’s still the case. What we need is someone like Kentik, Deepfield, and anyone else doing flow correlation to release a report. But they won’t because no company gives away that kind of data anymore. So we’re stuck guessing.



  • Family first! I thank you for what you’ve done for reddit and sync for lemmy. The app still works great for me. I hope you find happiness in your work and I accept whatever decision you make to continue this at whatever pace suits you. It’s been really fun watching your efforts and enjoying the fruits of your labor over the last decade.
