I guess the game really show that it isn't bioware that made it.

It's was a spin-off studio that ea created and gave the same name but the real studio had nothing to do with it.

Andromeda is more a poor copy of Mass Effect than a real Bioware game.

@alienghic I'm quite curious where did they get their dataset though.

@tek @kaniini I wholefuly agree.

Fair competition with small ISP and funding to have more of them.

Also remove those ruling making them illegal in some states.

@Balor @tek

Three major things are needed:

* intentional degradation needs to be illegal (in central office or at edge)

* increased investment in ISP competition (fibre installed in areas where big cable dominates because the alternative is ADSL2)

* funding for small/cooperative ISPs which are really at the forefront of residential fibre to the premises networks (the local phone cooperative had gigabit fibre to the home for $70/month well before even google fibre. cooperatives work.)

I have no opinion about metering, increasing competition will shut that shit down, because all it takes is one ISP offering unmetered.

@kaniini @tek

A rough year ahead ...

Better call those senators ... or even pay them since that's the only thing that seems to be working.

We should start a crowdfunding campaign to buy the senators.

@tek @Balor

Yes, that's the next step.

First you degrade at the edge. Then you degrade at the central office.

Right now, Comcast squeezes content providers by taking TATA Communications as their only transit provider; this basically means your traffic is going halfway to India and back to reach providers that Comcast won't peer with or sell transit to.

It should be remembered that the Netflix-Comcast transit deal was arranged explicitly because Comcast wanted to avoid real regulations.

@kaniini @tek

Well, they will sell package soon enough since that how they did with TV Channels.

They know the customer is "used" to that kind of "fair pricing".

I see more likely packages for Netflix and other streaming systems not own by the ISP as a way they cash on it.

Also depending of the size of the company, blackmailing them if they want access to the ISP users.

Tech speaking, it would be possible just by playing with DNS as a PoC.

@tek From the email of battle for the net:

But we’re not done fighting—not even close.

The fight now moves to Congress, which has 60 legislative days to overturn the FCC’s decision once the order takes effect. We’re launching an all-out campaign to convince a majority in the House and Senate to vote to overrule this outrageous giveaway to Comcast and Verizon.

I can't do anything like this as a European citizen ... all I can do is raise awareness.

If you're using a mac please read this:

You have a 0day root vulnerability. Anybody that has access to your mac can create a root user with an empty password.

For now, all you can do is create yourself the root user with a secure password.

@NattyGov it's small talk. Not meant to be a real question.

Just a way to start the conversation that everybody knows. It's a social norm.

@wonder t'as l'impression d'avoir dormi dans un nuage et tu te réveilles avec cette ouate nuageuse dans le cerveau...

C'est la meilleure analogie que j'ai trouvé pour expliquer l'effet.

@viciousviscosity I dunno who's doing your avatar but they are always so awesome!

Good morning super Val 😉

Adams ruins the Moon landing ... for conspirationists 😃

Showing how with the technology of that time, it was easier to send somebody to the moon then fake the moon landing in a studio.
