2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

'Cartelnet'

Honestly, after my last go round with Xfinity customer service I'd switch to the cocainternet in a heartbeat. At least they're up front about their criminal nature and contempt for your life.

I bet they'd let me configure port forwarding. Looking at you tmobile

CGNAT is your enemy more than tmo, but hardware they provide is shit.

The CRTC can just fuck right off.

You mean the Canadian Radio Telecommunications Cartel?

Use our Wi-Fi while getting high

I guess the cartels will enrich themselves until they can control people without violence.

They'll own all the businesses and just control people with money.

Sir we call that a government.

Do they also threaten to kill anyone that chuckles when they say their name?

If so, I wouldn’t even make it to my first payment.

$20-30/month isn't bad depending on the speeds, just saying.

I skimmed the article and I don’t think it mentioned the performance

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why even offer the WiFi? They could just threaten to kill them if they don’t give them money each month.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

The WiFi business has a much higher chance to go legitimate... I guess?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Plomo o WiFi.

All I can think of is Eddie Izzard:

You know, we think if somebody kills someone, that's murder, you go to prison. You kill 10 people, you go to Texas, they hit you with a brick, that's what they do. 20 people, you go to a hospital, they look through a small window at you forever. And over that, we can't deal with it, you know? Someone's killed 100,000 people. We're almost going, "Well done! You killed 100,000 people? You must get up very early in the morning. I can't even get down the gym! Your diary must look odd: 'Get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death... lunch. Death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death, quick shower…'"

Community WiFi. That's a way to increase adoption I guess.
