Agreed. Once upon a time, having water or electricity lines running to a house was considered a luxury, but eventually it became a requirement.

The Trump-appointed Supreme Court decided that the FCC no longer has the authority to classify something like internet as a utility if it isn’t legislated as one, but steps like this are an important way to get that process started and achieve the desired result in spite of that.

There are a lot of municipalities in the area where I live where the city-owned gas/electric departments also provide internet, and I only see that becoming more common over time given how successful their model has been. Internet access is simply a requirement to survive in developed economies these days.

This person is a shill for Kagi, it’s like every one of their comments.

Seems like it’s some sort of digital intake form for a healthcare organization. The answer related to speaking with a doctor had me curious and googling “Epic healthcare” showed that company with matching logo as a healthcare software company.

May be helpful information to share with a doctor but understandable to say no for anyone who wants to confirm their doctor is LGBT+ friendly/trustworthy first before disclosing details.

I think the point the previous user is getting at is that there is no continent of “America” in most English-speaking countries—there is North America and South America.

Canada is in North America but it’s not in “America,” which without the North/South prefix, will make most English-speaking people assume you mean the US and not the continent Canada and the US are on.

I don’t think the proposal is necessary, at least not until it can account for the possibility of someone creating a legion of alt accounts to circumvent the rule.

In fact, if I am trying to push propaganda/news from biased sources, it would probably improve credibility if I stage it to look like it is coming organically from a dozen different accounts instead of just one.

Real “Marie Antoinette having an entire fake rustic village built to pretend to be a peasant for a day” energy.

Nah, fuck Biden’s and Harris’s handling of the situation. It was a disaster and needs to be called what it is.

But I think what you are suggesting is a disingenuous interpretation of what most people were saying during the US election. No one was suggesting that Biden/Harris were good for Palestine. Only that Trump would be much, much worse. And I feel like the events of the past few weeks have validated that fear, however horrifying that is to type out.
