It was over for me when the EFF advanced the charge of government censorship of the internet.
The EFF had previously been a client of mine so I was somewhat familiar with how things worked and basically once Gilmore was out, it went downhill.
They did a lot of good work (much like the ACLU) but they are now honestly unrecognizable.
My old company donated around $3k/mo of services for almost a decade which in the grand scheme of things isn't a lot but we kept them online when other ISPs would've shut them off.
I've ceased donating to them and the ACLU because they no longer stand for freedom on or off the internet. My money now goes to groups that actively pursue the government for violating our constitutional rights.
idk. aren't they tier 1? what if it breaks peering? is all their management capability strictly "inside" their network? what would happen to the rest of the internet if they dropped off?
The article comes off as mostly clickbait TBH.
I live in San Francisco, our school system here stinks.
I'd say about 25% of the teachers at my kid's school are incompetent so that kinda lines up with 1:4 saying "technology bad". It took the pandemic for the school system to come 20 years into the future technology wise and they're still at least 15 years behind.
I honestly wouldn't trust a teacher to tell me what the future should be or if something is good or bad...
