Going to be interesting times, in a bad way. Everyone knows now in the US the newly appointed FCC chairman is going to be Brendan Carr, who is against the idea of Net Neutrality so we expect that to go away again similarly to how Ajit Pai got rid of it when he was around.
Should anyone be worried about what this guy can do? Will he carry on the fight for entertainment industry’s interests?
Okay, can we focus on the subject matter instead of just devolving it into a stupid meme and treating this platform like it’s reddit? Come on, grow up and I’ve blocked half of you already.
Frankly, it probably means absolutely nothing.
Even when captain coffee cup was the FCC chairman, did you lose the ability to torrent linux isos? Did usenet stop working?
I wouldn’t expect anything different this time, either.
Who torrents linux isos? Linux OSes aren’t illegal to pirate.
Torrents aren’t a piracy technology. A lot of Linux distros, especially non corp backed, are distributed via torrents since its more efficient.
I gather that’s a meme that’s older than you are?
By linux ISOs I meant any content you’re torrenting: movies, software, audio, my little pony porn, whatever.
Reading the comment above yours made my hip and knee hurt.
Not your point, but I actually do recommend torrenting linux ISOs… often much faster than direct downloads from the devs’ websites. ;-)
And it saves them on bandwidth costs!
I know some sites (at least used to) ask you to please torrent if possible.
Torrents are more reliable too. Every block gets its checksum verified automatically. If there is any corruption, the block will be downloaded again. With a direct download, you have to verify the checksum yourself and if it’s corrupted, you have to download the entire ISO again.
Less that the meme is older than them, probably more so they don’t realize why we torrent Linux iso’s.
I can pull down an ISO in seconds over torrent, whole it takes minutes over https. Also it’s nice to add some of the good stuff to the traffic, if only to pad all the illegal traffic with some legitimate stuff.
Everyone should pirate my little pony porn. Wait, there’s Rule-34, I digress.
Also, please stop carting around old and unfunny memes. Learn to know when memes stop being funny.
NeoToasty being in charge of memes. What does that mean to shitposters and going forward?
