I don't feel like typing much because it's nap time but IRCv3 is an almost closed group of friends, mostly znc core developers, who have decided they can choose what the future of IRC looks like.
They have put lots of pressure on and harassed other developers of clients and networks, sending them patches and infiltrating their devs if necessary, so their ideas are actually implemented.
If you complain about those ideas and specs, they'll tell you to refer to their github issue tracker, but they mostly ignore those who are not part of that core group I mentioned.
I didn't say DMCAs. In my country for example I can't access The Pirate Bay. I just see a "webpage blocked" message. And that hasn't been used, yet, to silence opinions.
I don't speak English natively, and any corrections are welcome. On the other hand I don't run a multi-million business based on writing comments on Hacker News so currently hiring a PR person to proofread these comments is not within the boundaries of my budget.
WoSign runs a business that is basically based on trust, and Nigerian scammers have sent me PDFs that looked far more convincing and trustable than that one WoSign posted.
So much money they are making and they can't hire anybody who can write English properly or write a PDF that is not composed of a handful of font faces and sizes.
I also find it funny they have fired the CEO (the PDF does not say he stepped down voluntarily) but he's the one sending that link to the mailing list. I call bs.
>You can easily see it in the map of how the people voted and you’ll notice that those territories where the war was actually fought got the big majority of the votes supporting the peace treaty.
Or maybe because people in those territories support the guerrillas?
1TB is not a lot. I download around 300GB a month on my 10/1 ADSL line, and I don't even watch HD video or stuff like that--it's mostly torrenting of software/movies. I'd probably go over 1TB if I had fibre.
That said I find data caps reasonable, but 1TB is not reasonable.
Because rolling out a fibre network is very very very expensive. People who think they are entitled to certain speeds, data caps, or prices, don't understand this. That's why Google Fiber is reconsidering their investment. It simply is too expensive.
If you have a problem, you can ask your government to force Comcast to rent the network, as it happens in civilised countries like mine, but that makes it harder to compete in price.
Yes exactly. It's embarrasing. Those tweets are just removed from your timeline and there's no way you can make them return. For someone like me who follows just a few people and intends to read the entire timeline, it is very very bad.
That's their core product there and it's broken. And they don't care. I miss the twicca days... That's the Twitter I liked, a chronological stream of text. I mourn for it.
