The extraordinary 1.9 bitching/rant thread

[Jonificus 2741]

Let's focus our shitposting powers in this thread so we can have a cesspool full of our feedback and nuisances with the new update that nobody seems to like. 

Personally I haven't been on the server yet because I can't be arsed to update my forge, optifine and texture packs right now, but I am annoyed by the patriarchy locking of threads who speak up against the poorly introduced 1.9 patch. 

 

This thread is protected by the US constitution and is not in the feedback forum so you can't pull the "Feedback noted" nonsense on this, FMs/GMs/Admins...

 

Now let's get right into the thing you've all been waiting for, the complaining.

Pretty sure the server runs outside of the US... Not sure if the consitution will help your internet thread in regards to its safety.

 

God speed.

The Internet was invented by America, it is under the protection of the US constitution.  You're not a commie who doesn't believe in freedom are you?

Actually the internet as we know it today was thought up by a British scientist called Donald Davies from the  National Physics Laboratory in London. Without his efforts the internet would've taken a lot longer to come about because literally everything about the internet is based off of his packet processing. The US "claims" to have invented the internet, but you can't really call a closed LAN network of 10 computers the internet lol...

 

Not to mention that not one country owns "the internet". To think that the case is foolish. Countries can control what kind of traffic comes into the country but they cannot control the internet. There's literally whole laws and seminars in place to discuss the ethics of government control of the internet etc. 

 

The US does not own the internet. Its laws only affect its citizens who use it. 

 

Also Freedom of speech under the US constitution doesn't include hate speech or speech that degrades others in a manner that could be considered harassment or again, hate speech.

Starting to look like a commie convention in here. Let's not forget whose flag is on the moon, Ruskies.

Freedom of speech does include hate speech. It includes everything other than inciting violence.

[Blundermore 2741]

In any case you checked the little box saying "I agree" in the terms and conditions when you joined the server. That plainly states basically not to be a jackass to each other. 

As for including hate speech, hate speech and inciting violence usually goes hand in hand...

No. "Black people are inferior" is hate speech but not inciting violence. "We should gun down blacks in the street" is inciting violence.

[Drunken Mutt 172]

You guys really made some good points about 1.9 man. I feel my perspective has been changed severely.

The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link billions of devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing.

The origins of the Internet date back to research commissioned by the United States federal government in the 1960s to build robust, fault-tolerant communication via computer networks. The primary precursor network, the ARPANET, initially served as a backbone for interconnection of regional academic and military networks in the 1980s. The funding of the National Science Foundation Network as a new backbone in the 1980s, as well as private funding for other commercial extensions, led to worldwide participation in the development of new networking technologies, and the merger of many networks. The linking of commercial networks and enterprises by the early 1990s marks the beginning of the transition to the modern Internet, and generated a sustained exponential growth as generations of institutional, personal, and mobile computers were connected to the network.

Although the Internet has been widely used by academia since the 1980s, the commercialization incorporated its services and technologies into virtually every aspect of modern life. Internet use grew rapidly in the West from the mid-1990s and from the late 1990s in the developing world. In the 20 years since 1995, Internet use has grown 100-times, measured for the period of one year, to over one third of the world population.

Most traditional communications media, including telephony and television, are being reshaped or redefined by the Internet, giving birth to new services such as Internet telephony and Internet television. Newspaper, book, and other print publishing are adapting to website technology, or are reshaped into blogging and web feeds. The entertainment industry was initially the fastest growing segment on the Internet.[citation needed] The Internet has enabled and accelerated new forms of personal interactions through instant messaging, Internet forums, and social networking. Online shopping has grown exponentially both for major retailers and small artisans and traders. Business-to-business and financial services on the Internet affect supply chains across entire industries.

The Internet has no centralized governance in either technological implementation or policies for access and usage; each constituent network sets its own policies. Only the overreaching definitions of the two principal name spaces in the Internet, the Internet Protocol address space and the Domain Name System (DNS), are directed by a maintainer organization, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The technical underpinning and standardization of the core protocols is an activity of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), a non-profit organization of loosely affiliated international participants that anyone may associate with by contributing technical expertise.
