More hot takes on Ajit Pai's bullshit, this time from Nilay Patel on The Verge: The internet is fucked (again).

Citizens of Odessa! Lying before you is the body of the brutally killed sailor Grigoriy Vakulinchuk, slain by a senior officer of the squadron battleship 'Prince Tavrichesky Potemkin.' Let's take revenge on the bloodthirsty vampires! Death to the oppressors!

Trump's idiot Tweets:

Donald J. Trump‏ Verified account @realDonaldTrump

I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!

Link.

Can we all agree that having the POTUS speak his mind in 200 character dumps is a bad move, if only for his chances with the investigation?

MORE Ajit Pai/FCC boolsheet: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/arti ... =mbtwitter

The title:

The FCC Is Blocking a Law Enforcement Investigation Into Net Neutrality Comment Fraud

In addition, the agency told me there was nothing it could do after someone hijacked my identity to claim I falsely supported killing net neutrality protections.

Quote:

....Detailed analysis of the record 22 million comments filed with the agency indicate the majority of the public overwhelmingly supports keeping the rules intact. But several analysts also found that some group or individual tried to counter this genuine opposition with fake support for the plan. Schneiderman's office believes these comments were filed by a bot that pulled identities from a compromised database of some kind.

Trump-related but only just: A video of somebody using the racist/obscene "Moon Man" character to jam the 147.435 repeater in Los Angeles back in February. The character mentions Trump and raps.

Had the alt right previously gravitated towards moon McKnight or is this some sort of nod to the max headroom signal jam that happened in Chicago during the 90’s?

Nope; just a half-remembered corporate "icon" from a thirty-something's past, warped into a racist killer who talks about his hate crimes by a Black musical form. That he is pearl white and wears sunglasses is part of it, that and Klansmen rode on horseback on moonlit nights to carry out their crimes.

The Max Headroom thing happened in the '80s, and Ben Minnotte knows too much about it:

Dayam. And whoever did that is getting away with it. He must be running an illegal multi-kilowatt linear.

Meanwhile, Haitian expatriates are running a stupid little pirate station in Miami, and the full force of the FCC is coming down on them. Guess that helps explain it. Has the Commission gone full bigot or is it just insane?

And speaking of the shrieky right

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/25/tech ... d=fb-share
“We don’t have any inflated sense of self-importance at Snopes,” he said. “People are always telling us, ‘You’re deviating from your mission.’ My response is: ‘We don’t have a mission. We just do what we do.’” But he conceded that something had gone wrong with the early utopian dreams for the internet.

Noticed that. All like Wikipedia: nuts shrieking at each other and trying to silence each other.

Multi-kilowatt would melt the receiver inside the repeater - what the sumbitch is doing is "deadkey"-ing the repeater at possibly 50-100 watts and his antenna is probably a Yagi pointed towards the Mount Krumpett the machine is located at. Herr Jammer has his mic jacked into an MP3 device that plays the Moon Man raps and the transceiver is probably at a watt and hooked to a Class E linear amp. Or there were few listeners that night and Jammer Boy got away with it nearly scot-free (I used Broadcastify for the audio, so their reciver was picking it up and streaming it online).
