@verretor @mydogisahusky2 That graph is probably underestimating more recent growth, as I bet you it's discounting NAT. But even then, that's probably just another order of magnitude. Getting to 1 billion is nine orders of magnitude.

@verretor @mydogisahusky2 Most of the internet's growth in terms of orders of magnitude had already happened by 2000.

"I helped women secure Greyhound tickets as a key part of their escape plan [from abusers]. Not only were bus tickets the cheapest option for a woman fleeing with little money to her name, they were often the only option for women living in rural, remote and northern areas and in First Nations communities."

Yet another way lockdown will kill people for years to come.

@mydogisahusky2 @verretor It's amazing how _late_ that headline is. You'd expect it to be mid 90's or so. But it's one month shy of 2001!

@verretor "Young adults refuse to sacrifice themselves for older generation that has sacrificed young adults their entire lives."

No, it's really not
#yalereport

> There are two approaches to addressing piracy: first, copyright reform and, second, prohibiting unlawful actions that facilitate the reception of programs from Internet sites.

In other words it's not the actual piracy they want to prevent, it's enabling technology. Like FLOSS.

> australia as example

yeah

> With respect to the second approach, sections 9 and 10 of the Radiocommunication Act currently make it an offence to decode, retransmit, and operate devices, equipment, or components to receive an unlawfully decrypted subscription program. These provisions should be moved to the
broadcasting Act and expanded to include all forms of media content, whether received through satellites or through
the Internet.

provisions.

UGH, terrible, just terrible #canada
