wow

sure, it’s the woman liking the system of privileges that oppresses her

no way it could be that one more person having a privilege isn’t going to help eradicate privileges, no no no

no they should absolutely transition because one person less with a privilege is one step closer to that privilege not existing at all

i've seen students torrenting software and browsing porn sites in class while connected to the school wifi (and god knows what sort of poo poo they get up to in the dorms) so i figure i'm pretty safe if i accidentally load up a nws image on something awful dot com

worst case i can always claim it was research-related

Rehabilitated?


That's just a bullshit word.
our school partnered up w/ some law firm who'll send out emails going "We noticed you pirated X, you now owe us 5 thousand dollars or we will sue," whenever some automated IT software catches someone torrenting something. I assume the lawyers are giving the school some cut for every successful lead that gets forwarded

our school had an internal filesharing network based on dcc run by the turbo nerds that had basically everything you'd ever need to pirate - movies, porn, music, whatever - and it never left the firewall so it never got any DMCA takedowns. the school knew about it and looked the other way since it meant they used way less internet bandwidth and didn't have to deal with lawyers. that thing was great :allears:

lol same but i'm old af so we just had an ftp server set up. this was OG napster days pre-DMCA though so no risk, its just that the entire uni had a 1.5 mbps t1 for upstream. it was more productive for 30 of us to go home on the weekends and dialup-leech files and fly them in on monday when we came back

related: my senior highschool ap chem project was that me and some friends made a dumb video with car chases and interspersed it with powerpoint slides about acid base titrations. i renamed it something like "briana banks jenna jameson xxx.avi" and hosted it on the network my freshman year of college. 2nd semester i was in a class with some guy who recognized me from the movie

i mean dcc dates from 1991 and came from goddamn irc so we weren't exactly using a fancy modern protocol :v:

it ran surprisingly well considering how janky the whole thing was

e: wait I guess it was actually DC++ which may or may not be something different? idk

Reading the handful of in-depth reviews of the Rplate that are floating around on the Internet, at least one specifically mentioned that Reviver Auto told them they weren’t allowed to open the device to examine its internals. This sounds like a big red flag to us personally, but to give them the benefit of the doubt, they may have been worried about some journalist breaking their demo model Rplate.

someone at my school automated downloads and announcements of releases for tv shows. somehow bypassed the bandwidth cap too. it was awesome. we were on the west coast so we got things "early" too!

someone in my neighborhood has a digital plate and when I saw it I had to look up wth it was and I still don't see the point of them at all; supposedly the state somehow saves on making plates because maybe it just stays on the vehicle forever and they can just flash them with different numbers or something? and then maybe some add on value with registration?

but it also feels like a lot of "lets use technology to solve a problem that doesn't exist or it isn't really an appropriate solution for" because how much overhead is there for physical plates and tags vs attaching an expensive electronic device that can, you know, break

also my workplace MITMs everything and its super annoying for development work -- turns out lots of software package management tools like to use encryption now and if you don't set up the cert chain right then it all breaks!

if they made these way smaller and a qr code or something people would like them because they'd take up less space on the car but I doubt they will because it's not like an eyewitness could describe it
