SQM? https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/sqm

Thanks, that sounds like the exact problem that I’ve been having with my openwrt setup

What a bunch of fucking crybabies

Hillary Clinton

Checks out!

I hate using the mouse/touchpad for anything. I use spectrewm, and qutebrowser, so that I can use control/super/alt + hjkl for almost everything

I don’t pirate music, I buy it from Bandcamp. Then I download the files to my storage server and sync it to my phone, or play it with MPD.

I wish I could do the same with movies and TV shows…

Doctorow is awesome. He’s a great author too. I’d recommend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkaway_(Doctorow_novel) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Brother_(Doctorow_novel)

These emails — which I encourage you to look up — tell a dramatic story about how Google’s finance and advertising teams, led by Raghavan with the blessing of CEO Sundar Pichai, actively worked to make Google worse to make the company more money.

It was a triumph for enshittification, a deliberate decision to make the product worse in order to make it more profitable, under the (correct) belief that the company’s exclusivity deals to provide search everywhere from Iphones and Samsungs to Mozilla would mean that the business would face no consequences for doing so.

Unfortunately yeah, these things still happen with Linux. I love linux, and I don’t use Windows, but all the “Linux never does anything wrong”, or “works on my machine, it must be a skill issue” people don’t realize how much that prevents people from moving over.

Linux is a looooooot better than it used to be, but pretending that problems don’t exist, is how Linux, and the culture surrounding it, got such a bad reputaion for such a long time.

Ah, that’s dumb. That whole area of the game had strong “Stop hitting yourself” vibes.

Ah yeah, I think that’s it. I was felt mad that I kept trying everything to avoid dropping phosphorous. They take away your agency, and force you to do a war crime. I’m guessing that later they call you out for being a bad person for doing that?

Can I ask why? That’s where I gave up, but I keep having trouble articulating why.

Oof, no. Super no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco#Controversies

Life is Strange

The entire premise is that the protagonist can turn back time, and make different decisions.

Except for cut-scenes. As soon as a cut-scene hits, suddenly its “You aren’t able to rewind time right now”, with no narrative explanation. Like, I get that you didn’t want to program that part, but the entire premise is about rewinding time, to try different decisions. Now I’m stuck having made an arbitrary decision, because I thought I was going to be able to go back and pick differently.

I recently watched https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salò%2C_or_the_120_Days_of_Sodom

It was… interesting, but going for more “shock”, than actual substance.

It’s a fun movie, but it’s only for a selective taste. It’s also has a lot of very problematic scenes.

I only know this because of Archer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIWDVuHDpq0

I don’t think they were “surprised” by it. It seems like they thought it was a search result. Which is fair, IMO. If DDG didn’t want people to mistake that for a search result, then they shouldn’t put it in the spot where the search results go.

I still don’t think I understand the point you are trying to make.

I feel like I’m not really understanding the question, but here ya go: The people who are willing to pay for it.

Firefox Focus and DDG on mobile. Qutebrowser and Librewolf on desktop.
