  • i kinda understand that to be the case somewhere, starting new community is not easy.

    i was thinking more about posts where you have some headline, no picture, the post's body is "click here to prove you are not a bot", and the poster didn't care enough to fix that.

    1. there will be some bandwidth aggregation, so the speed is perfectly fine from the contract point of view.
    2. second, 1 gbps on network layer is not 1 gbps on application layer. in other words, only part of the data that you download are actual useful data - there is some overhead.
    3. at such speed, there is no such thing as "internet speed". there is speed to specific source at the specific time. your provider can only guarantee so much. your source being able to push data to you at the speed your last mile might be able to receive them is not among the guaranteeable.
    4. complaining that your internet only does 650 mbps really is first world problem.
  • we are. "open" can mean lot of things, and the original post was not about open, it was about free. no one has to be convinced windows are not free, it is as surprising as the fact people don't fuck for love in brothel.

  • That being said, for all their faults they can do good work, just got to remember their Qatari connection.

    every big media has connection somewhere, which is why best approach is to study different perspectives and then make some synthesis from information you get.

    there is no single source of information you should take at face value. and if you want to dissect something, you should dissect the message, not the messenger.

  • transferring is very difficult and bureaucratic

    Very difficult is not impossible. Do whatever it takes to transfer and not to waste that year. Once you drop out it is very easy to stay dropped and it can change your life forever. You may regret that in a future but it will be too late to fix that.
