I wish I could go back in time and tell them that TNG is going to rock.

Don't worry, they know now.

With ISP what is really need is Local-loop unbundling but extending to ISPs.

Those that are old enough to use DSL in early 2000, might remember there was a lot of ISPs to chose from. The reason for it was that due to Title II telco companies were required to lease lines to their competitors. When cable started to be popular, ISPs lobbied politicians to categorize it under Title I which removed that requirement. We got Internet back to be categorized as Title II, but this specific rule was excluded and this is what is necessary to bring the competition.

If it is too hard, I'll be ok if they just skip it and won't charge it.

The difference is different admins, different policy (for example one lemmy could let anyone in, another, like beehaw asks to write why they should let you in, and that you will obey their rules).

There are also things like some settings, for example beehaw disables downvotes, they also don't federate with lemmy servers that notoriously break their policies.

So best bet would be to choose server which policy fits you the best.

Also some people might want to choose the biggest and most open server. That could be good but because the server is open to everyone it might struggle fighting abuse and also go down because of high load. Such server is lemmy.world right now.

So who is using it? Where are tools which allow you to set up and manage the infrastructure? Why it can't be disabled, except hacks, and one undocumented feature requested by NSA, because they did not want it running? It is a backdoor, if it wasn't it would be disabled by default and you would have to pay premium to have that feature enabled.

Since I've been 12 years old once, I think she is perfectly capable of understanding explanation that it comes from adult game, and using it could attract possible pedophiles.

He shouldn't need to show the game or say more than that.

Intel Management Engine is a component that has access to your computer on a level that even you, the computer owner, don't have access to. It can be operated remotely, even when your computer is off.

And traditionally you can't even disable it (remember, you're not the trusted party in that mix).

This is actually possible, if 1 feef = 0 feet

That's the only way I can see happening that would preserve our democracy. A part of GOP is clearly for authoritarianism and that's not negotiable to them.

To be fair, it is a bit out of context: https://www.dhs.gov/see-something-say-something
