[04:23]	IsambardPrince	It means his incoming FCC officials have no authority to use Title II to water it down and preeempt State net neutrality laws.
[04:24]	IsambardPrince	This is the worst thing that could happen to big ISPs.
[04:24]	IsambardPrince	Because they were hoping for a Title II classification that required almost nothing and stopped States from coming up with their own rules.

[22:12]	TR Bot	Of The BSD Desktop? There's Going To Be A BSD Desktop Conference At Least - Phoronix
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Me on Daylight Savings Time.
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	"I want to have the daylight at the end of the day so it's not dark at 4 PM. 
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	This is totally ridiculous. Indiana didn't even have DST until 2006. I knew other States did, but until I was 23 it didn't matter to me except half the year my shows came on when the TV Guide in the paper said they did, and half the year they moved back an hour. Which was less annoying than going outside at 4 PM and there's no more daylight.
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	But DST is a perfect metaphor for the government. Only the government could possibly steal something from you then give it back somewhere else and tell you "Gee we're doing so much for you, what would you ever do without us?"
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	And of course, they steal something you were using (the hour in the evening) and give you something you can't even use (an hour while you're asleep).
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	Maybe they want to get rid of DST because it reminds us all that they take $7 trillion a year from us, fritter it all away making us support people who don't even work and who have 8 kids, and by blowing things up in a country I don't even care about that didn't do anything to me, and offering a $60,000 reward for the only murder they ever put any effort into solving (which was solved in three days) and it was a guy who runs a 
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	health insurance company and tries to end the lives of people like me.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	It's a real spectacle, guys, and of course only $4 trillion of that is taxes. The rest is $3 trillion worth of inflation, crowding out the real economy which gets smaller and smaller every year, and causing everything to increase in price.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	DST is a scam and you know it's a scam because it's the government saying you have to do something and what else could you possibly do... Then they inflict it on us at the absolute worst possible time of the year, when everyone has Seasonal Affective Disorder anyway and needs coffe to try to make it to 5 PM.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	Out of the $7 trillion dollar federal budget, probably less than $2 or maybe $3 trillion of it, total, is something I'd actually miss if it went away.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	Think about it. The government has a "shutdown" every year or two when they go back to fighting about paying bills none of us got to vote about whether to take on. Nobody in the real economy even notices until the air traffic controllers walk out after about 6 weeks."
[22:22]	IsambardPrince	---
[22:22]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], TikTok
[22:26]	IsambardPrince	You might want to mention this. "For a few hours this morning, TikTok shut down. There was ultimately no reason for them to shutdown because they knew that President Biden would not be in office long enough to take action. They put praise of Donald Trump in their shutdown message so that it would be seen by tens of millions of people. Then a few hours later, while they were still banned, they broke the law and the unanimous Supreme 
[22:26]	IsambardPrince	Court ruling and turned it back on, thanking 'President Trump' who was not even the President for 24 more hours, who has promised to help the Chinese Communist Party break a bipartisan law passed by the US Congress and upheld by all 9 justices, including 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats. What has happened today is the beginning of the end of the United States as a functional democracy with rule of law. While TikTok itself seems small, 
[22:26]	IsambardPrince	Donald Trump's promise to help Bytedance openly break laws and his assistance to a tool of Chinese Communist Party Propaganda signal a beginning of the end to decisions of two of our 'co-equal' branches of government having any actual effect."
