Not like coffee. Your average person simply can’t consume coffee beyond the average at any meaningful rate. We both know that internet usage can go from close to nothing to 100TB of data depending on the user.
Internet isn’t like coffee, it’s not that simple.
That simply isn’t true, the costs are small and arguably negligible but they do have increased costs on more data usage.
ISPs have real costs too
I completely disagree that it is a decent metaphor. Unlike coffee, internet data usage is entirely nebulous to mostly everyone outside of the tech sphere. The metaphor serves as a way of misrepresenting a widespread ignorance for a fundamental understanding.
If we wanted a decent metaphor we’d have to compare data usage to something like health insurance. Well you see, you pay for your rate of coverage at these visits per year but also have to pay your deductible that might or might not be used off routine…
In the end if we want to simplify internet expense it is this: ISPs charge way more than they need to and search for ways to charge more to maximize profits without improving service.
Pretty much everything does, even your car will and I would totally download a car if I could.
You know you’re a POS when a piracy community cheers for copyright lawsuits
Many will recommend you use Stremio instead. You’ll probably want to use a VPN depending on your region though.
Never ask a company to pick between the right thing and profit. It was all a matter of time till Google needed to stop growing and start producing profit for investors.
To make it worse the Pixel 9 starts at $800 just like iPhone. So if you’re buying Android you don’t really save money over an iPhone like you used to.
only about a third that want one but another third would rather argue with you about whether it is or isn’t actually fascism.
Kinda. It might be 3rd parties using it but it is 100% an API designed by Google to keep apps on Google Play.
But would it not be just as weird, creepy, and taboo for one to do it with non-nude and therefore non-pornographic material? Would pictures of feet being passed around not be just as weird but also not covered under this law?
We cock things up sometimes.
I got news for you about almost every ISP
Tbf you’re paying for the college to provide you internet.
This is why I think the people modding cars to be evs are so much better.
Corporations using open source projects to maximize profits is very common.
It’s being taken to court in Florida so I’m not sure it’ll even have to make it that far. Can’t wait for the corporations with captive user bases to start rolling these arbitration clauses in as a paid service for other corporations.
Sorry, you can’t sue ExonMobile for wrongful death, they have an arbitration clause in Comcast’s end user agreement for your internet service that they leased. If you wanted to sue ExonMobile you should have not had internet, dummy.
In yesterday’s America too. Look at the Battle of Blair Mountain for instance where corporations have run the show for centuries.
No, we miss abortions in this neighborhood, brother.
