Twitter is horrible. I never really used it but whenever I go on there, it seems horribly confusing and I'm a tech-savy kinda guy.

I thought she won by around seven votes?

Ah OK, because of the way it works, she needed 214 and got 216.

Historic precedent says we haven't really hit insane rally mode yet. Of course, insane rallies are always followed by a correction.

It's priced too high now though, right? ;)

I think there's some weird dynamic at play where when the speaker most needs to be changed is when they get the most party support.

I think Pelosi just enjoys the exercise of raw power. So much of what she does seems to have little purpose beyond "Because I can and because millions have to just suck it up". It's pathological.

This guy bought a study guide for the Turing test.

Execute order 67!

I think I already downloaded it to my phone but never got it set up. I've been trying to turn away from social media.

Just find somewhere else to download it and install from local storage. Quite easy on Android.

Is it really illegal if nobody in a position to prosecute does so?

Note that your IP address will be visible unless you take precautions.

There is a channel #thedonald. It already has an op who I have no idea who it is. Might want to start a different channel?

Yeah, they're coming for you next, idiot traitor.

Pine phone and Puri5m. Also there was Ubuntu phone but that's in a bit of trouble recently.

Mine keeps bugging me to since I rooted but I keep cancelling. I need to work out how to permanently disable it.

Someone please make a side-load howto and mods please sticky it.

Comcast. Not rural but not majorly urban either. I just checked and I have had my current IP since at least Feb 2020. It definitely changes occasionally.

I think ISPs have started to go to longer times for the IP addresses because having them change frequently will mess with things like streaming. That leads to support calls which means higher costs.

Comcast also has a small business option which is not terribly priced, comes with a static IP and with port 25 (email) not blocked. But that wasn't necessary for what I want to do. I do run my own email server but my DNS provider reroutes my email over a different port. Not ideal but works well enough.

Mine typically last for months.

The lease is short but it changes infrequently.

2: Currently the DNS system only works with static IP addresses, because of the DNS registration system, this makes serving content very expensive, because you need a business class internet plan, or a datacenter and actual ISP access.

No. It's pretty straightforward to serve from a standard home connection if your ISP isn't blocking it. If you IP address doesn't change often (and most don't), you can easily have a script running that will update IP addresses when they do and set a short TTL and you won't notice much of an issue.

Most of the issue you'll have will be that home ISP connections typically have reduced upstream bandwidth compared to downstream and that you're at the mercy of your ISP who are probably pretty sensitive to government agency requests.

With all I had heard about people, organizations and companies using Discord, I had assumed it was software that people could use in a decentralized manner, like a more modern IRC. When I finally had a reason to use it and found out that it was just a centralized service run by god-knows-who, I just shook my head.

Come on people, we knew how to do this kind of thing thirty years ago. Don't put all your eggs in someone else's basket.

Microsoft is moving to a curated walled-garden model with tough lock-downs too. They would already be there if they didn't continually fail in the mobile market.
