It's not about trust. These laws have a proven track record of working for the benefit of everyone. Repealing them has no tangible benefit in the current landscape of ISP semi-monopolies, and repealing them now can do nothing but harm. Yes, it's all trendy and edgy to be like "Lel the government is evil they shouldn't touch or do anything" right now but fact of the matter is sometimes, as shown in this case, government regulation has a net benefit for everyone but the executives of these ISPs. On the other side, yeah, no shit Amazon/Netflix/Etc. stand to gain from these laws staying in place and that's why they advocate for them. So? What's the issue with that? It's a win-win in that case, that's a GOOD thing. Again, yeah, it's cool and edgy to bitch about corporations making money these days, but at least attempt to look at the bigger picture. Bad for corporations =/= good for everybody else and vice versa. If you want to talk about trust, can always trust a megacorp to do what's in their best interests and they have a lot of swing in that regard. Why be pissed when it swings in your favor because interests align for once? Just so you can shoot yourself in the foot to "stick it to the man"?

Yeah, gigantic profit-hungry corporations rule the world. Big whoop. The difference is, if the gigantic, profit-hungry ISPs aren't beholden to Net Neutrality rules, they can completely control what you see, hear, and do on the net. They could, for example, bar access to news and social media sites that promote views they don't like. Netflix and Amazon don't have that kind of power over anything outside their own sites and services. (You could argue Google has way too much power over what you see, but at least they can't prevent you from visiting any particular sites)

So I got a call from someone wanting to do a survey. I answer in English since I was just talking in English to someone else. The person on the phone asks if I speak Greek, as the survey is in Greek. I answer "όχι" which means no in Greek and tell them I'm not interested, again in Greek. They apologise for the inconvenience, say they are only looking for Greek speakers, and hang up.

I'm only six hours into it, but Nier Automata is blowing me away. The gameplay, boss battles and soundtrack have all been 10/10 so far.

I don't know TOGE, I'm not a fan of that look.

Honestly the demo (NOT A BETA) of Destiny 2 was enough for me. It just wasn't interesting.

Got a few spectacular ones from work yesterday

Call me crazy, but when all of the tech giants band together and demand that the .gov regulate them, color me suspicious on their motives. Net Neutrality is less about the potential of ISPs serving data ala-carte, and more about Netflix, Facebook, Google, and Amazon not paying more for the bandwidth their services use, and rather than charging their customers more for that service, passing it along to everyone who uses the internet, instead of just those users.

well, he's trying to be consistent only non-ZUN 2hu games have good art
