Net neutrality never existed.
If a gov wanted to block a website they forced the ISPs to block its DNS domain and IP, even if it's against the law.
Indeed net neutrality should forbid an ISP to block a site, because no website/resource should be blocked from the Internet.
But this happened a lot of times.

See for example the Vkontakte russian social network, banned from Ukraine because the Americans wanted them to use Facebook ( i guess ).
It's against net neutrality laws but they did it

no, we are talking about the idea of an isp blocking a site for profit, not actual legal reasons, like say comcast blocked hulu, netflix, and crunchy roll, and said you had to by the tv streaming internet package to get them, then that's breaking net nutrality
this is a similar misunderstanding of what freedom of speech means, just cause ya have freedom of speech doesn't mean you can run around and make death threats

The Patriot Act wasn't patriotic. The Affordable Care Act wasn't affordable. Guess what net neutrality won't be

Affordable, ha, yeah right. Get penalized for having a job that doesn't pay you enough for basic insurance. That sure sounds "affordable". Patriot act is a joke, and the FCC are a bunch of stuck up snooty bastards.

Still better than communist pigs.

Damn right. Communism is overrated and only works in theory. In practice, it's not that great. No system is perfect, but lol communism. The FCC however, yeah, I want them to go under.

In the end the anons will get the last laugh mark my words.

No one cares about Anon though :creep: Just a bunch of pusillanimous script kiddies who don't do any real work.

yeah!
capitalism and communism suck!
anarchy and socialism is where its at!

Socialism, how's that working for the EU, by the way? Doing good financially?

Yes of course I do
Also history tends to repeat itself too that is what I am saying
But what I'm saying is that your quip about net neutrality not being neutral (or at least that's what I understood) doesn't apply, unless you're saying that the loss of net neutrality would make the 'net less neutral, which is a given

    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.
    +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.

  • a_username_that_is_cool @ a_username_that_is_cool:
    FNF was born from Game Jams
