And yet for some reason it’s been giving me (a cis man) lots of (thankfully good) trans content, while my trans roommate keeps getting the right wing nonsense you do. idfgi why the algo can’t give her the good (or even just the okay) shit, since it’s clearly capable of serving it up to me.
Maybe I just need to do a day’s watching on her account to see if it helps fix her recommends.
Maybe on average, but you’ve got my ass who was put in the gifted program from 2nd grade on, with a single mom who was working two jobs and thus wasn’t around much, and who couldn’t afford childcare so I had to spend most of my before and after school time with my physically violent and abusive grandmother. Not that being in said program did much good (between the bad home situation and my ADHD, I was constantly in trouble at school), I didn’t even finish my bachelor’s in the end, but there were a few of us “smart” kids with fucked up home lives in there too.
It depends, does your fiber ISP just have an Ethernet jack going to the modem they gave you, with an ONT (the part that takes in the physical fiber and outputs Ethernet) on the outside of your home or in your building’s telecom room (if you’re in an apartment or condo), or does it have the actual fiber strand entering your unit and passing directly into the modem device?
If it’s the latter, odds are you’ll need to keep their modem (as it serves as the ONT as well), since a lot of fiber ISPs are extremely picky about what connects directly to their optical network. You should be able to put it into bridge mode, connect it with Ethernet, and let whatever router you buy handle things like DHCP. If the former (this is how my fiber setup is), you should be able to connect your own equipment directly, so long as you have things like PPPoE credentials and whatever VLAN tag settings your ISP requires available to put in to the router you purchase.
Oh yeah, I moved out again before it was truly feasible for me to do so since my horrifically violent grandmother was impossible to live with, even as a young adult. Even now that she’s been dead for almost six years, I still refuse to move back in with my parents to save money despite their invitation, because they proved to me that they’d rather look like the good kids to the woman who not only abused their child physically and emotionally when my mother was single and couldn’t afford other childcare–as well as my mother herself when growing up, than keep their own actual child safe, whether as a child or adult.
Sorry, your actions proved your words about ‘always having a safe home here’ to be a goddamn lie multiple times in my life, and I’d be a fool to ever trust those phrases.
Apple should have not made it proprietary then, the connector that’s on literally every single other rechargeable device I own at this point, from my weed pen and ecig, to my laptop, phone, and headphones, is truly the objectively superior option. Ubiquity wins out every time, when I can be assured that everything I own can be charged with one cable.
Also how are you breaking USB-C ports or cables so much? I’ve had USB-C phones for almost eight years now and never once have any of my cables or ports gotten damaged to the point of unusability, and I’m definitely not the most gentle user out there.
That was actually the 2G days with GSM and cdmaOne, UMTS (what AT&T used for 3G) is a form of wideband CDMA. China even developed a hybrid of the two for their homegrown 3G system that used time slices and spreading out data across the full spectrum within said slices.
Also fun fact, Hedy Lamarr invented the core concept behind CDMA.
