  • I remember seeing some neckbeard-ass post on Reddit when the live-action Little Mermaid trailer came out, saying how it wouldn’t make sense for somebody living in that region of the ocean to have dark skin because of the longitude and depth of the water, etc…

    Like… You’re really trying to argue the scientific accuracy of… [checks notes] … a fucking MERMAID? Spare everybody the mental gymnastics and just say you don’t like black people.

    Dan is constantly talking about buyout requests he’s receiving for Loops and Pixelfed, so much so that it makes me a bit suspicious of those claims. Nearly every other post I see from his Mastodon feed is bragging about another alleged buyout offer, and how he’s not for sale.

    Has he ever shown proof of any of these offers he’s received? It’s not that I want to doubt him, but he’s been very persistent with this claim and I think it’s fair to scrutinize it at this point.


  • It’s not really “rigged”. Most people don’t have any use for that much outgoing bandwidth because they’re not uploading that much data. They’re usually downloading a lot more, though, so it makes sense to prioritize the bandwidth based on how people will actually use it. It’s more than sufficient for HD video calls, which is probably the most upload-intensive task your average user is going to conduct. Giving your entire neighborhood gigabit upload speeds is a waste of resources, unless your entire neighborhood is running media servers from home.

    You’re still getting the bandwidth you’re paying for, it’s just not balanced in a way that suits your fringe use-case. Your ISP very likely has options that rebalance that bandwidth prioritization if you actually need and will use more upload bandwidth, but those are typically going to be business accounts.

    Also not sure what this has to do with the Fediverse.
