Comment Re:Owning vs Renting (Score 1, Insightful) 183

If this were a program meant to build out a robust network, then yes that would be the way. But this program is meant to get broadband to rural areas so they can take advantage of the economic benefits. That means ASAP. This yet another example of an investment losing focus and allowing the best to become the enemy of the good.

The "Puerto Ricans are trash" fiasco is not only likely putting Pennsylvania solidly in the Blue column -- where it was already leaning -- but it is also getting strong reaction from Black males across the country.

The misquote plus the race-attributed opinion is classic Reddit

Comment China is accustomed to few apps (Score 2) 67

Almost every popular Chinese app is an "everything app" or strives to be one. The only pure internet browser is Edge. There's Chrome but it's been so inundated with negative reviews nobody downloads it. But even Edge is dwarfed by domestic "web browser" apps like Baidu and 360 that have short videos, shopping, movies, travel booking all rolled into them.

If people in both countries can access Reddit in addition to multiple other social media sites, then this idea of blocking a narrow set of .ru domains to obstruct spies cannot pass the sniff test. What an idiotic post. Being pro-Ukraine is one thing, assuming Slashdotters will fall for such moronic argument is quite another.

BTW, did the US block access to any official Iraqi websites in 2003? More recently, Iran has been implicated in assassination plots against Trump. Has the US government blocked any Iranian domains in accordance with your brilliant plan for obstructing spies? Of course, not, because it's like trying to dam up a river with your hand. "Just like everyone would"... pffft gtfo, go rile up some tech illiterate boomers on facebook or wherever you came from.
