I didn’t know until recently that the US had such an effective blockade, so enemies of the US are Cuba’s only hope, this is great to see.

If you cut out buffer bloat it’s easy to forget that everything is only slightly slower, it’s the inconsistency in the latency that makes you really notice. With a base of ~130ms when it doubles for those first couple of packets of every page load you really feel it, as long as it’s smooth, your brain can adjust.

I have it for my whole house and no one notices/complains.

That said, it’s kind of niche then more niche to run it on the VPN too, I wish it were more accessible.

I wouldn’t take it as far as paying allows demands. If I decided to pick up some litter in my way in public and some sees it. Just because they shoves a $20 in my face, doesn’t mean they can demand and expect I’ll pick up all the other trash around. There would need to be contract (even just Social) negotiations at the least!

In the last couple of months I just bought 12 months through a voucher that is no more so doubt I’d get a refund, so I’ve got some time to decide. I swear everything I look into deep enough has something going wrong with it, but I guess all we can do it take the battles we can handle.

Sure, that’s fine, I tend to agree, I was drawing out the picture of the collateral, so it’s considered as much or as little as it is worth, but at least considered.

I read it as he implicitly does understand that and is the reason he suggests getting a refund if that is your priority. He is just urging people to see nuance that there is collateral damage for the rest of the people that make mullvad too. A loose analogy would be, I disagree with Trump and I wish my country would divest from the USA, which is all well and good, but the workers don’t have great protections and would likely be the first to hurt. Sure a majority of them voted for him I could rationalize, but that’s not the same rationalisation companies use to layoff before they actually start to hurt.

The license people agree to, to use the software disclaim warranty and limited liability. So your analogy would be better if the bridge had signage explaining such that most people don’t read. So not a legal obligation, but maybe it hasn’t been tested in court yet.

Religion helps with being overwhelmed with nuance and grey (as in not black and white). I felt that I was capable handling/accepting the reality of life and was motivated by the few instances of pain that this same help can cause to other. What I really valued from religion was morals or the moral goal and a system that dictates which are okay to not worry about didn’t sit well with me. Not saying I’m doing any better, I just have the nuance to adjust my system to be better. Instead of faithfully following something.

My take is that it is all subjective, I feel like I busted ass, I feel like a god interviewed, I feel like it was my lucky socks. Without a study and metrics we can’t objectively measure reliably, but that would be overkill for every little thing. So we take our subjective shortcuts and move on. My advice would be focus on the sentiment, “that’s impressive, it’s good that hard work/gods intervention/lucky socks helped that outcome, because it seems so surreal otherwise.”. That or have the heart to heart and put in the effort to align if it’s important and they are important to you.

There isn’t so much of the story elements, especially if you’ve tried Braid, but The Witness has endless intrigue and abstract puzzles. https://store.steampowered.com/app/210970/The_Witness/

In basic terms, your computer has to say something like I clicked here, to send it to the server and orchestrate with the other clients. On the flip side the server sends stuff back that your client can show you were the other clients are. All this raw data can be used by a cheater however they want. If we minimise the data available to you or a cheater to be the levellest, that would be the client only sends mouse and keyboard inputs, and all the client gets back from the server is pre-rendered frames. Think game streaming, from a cheating perspective is the problem solved? No, they just make a program to read screen and move the mouse when it sees an enemy faster than any human can, or more realistically to avoid that detection, just act slightly better than the cheaters opponent. As other comments have mentioned, game streaming for everyone would be expensive for the server. And if your clever you’ll realise that even BIOS level detection won’t stop a separate computer with a webcam doing keyboard mouse emulation, hence the comments about the developers wanting control. AI deepfakes can attest that even gameplay moderation will get more difficult as the input emulation gets more human like.

So the only hope is to do enough of all these things so that cheaters deem it not worth the effort/not profitable enough.

I wonder if your sentiment is common, because being a non American, it appears as a vocal counterbalance to the occasional intangible headlines. This would ironically explain the imbalance from my perspective
