I got the lifetime pass 5 years ago. I've switched to JF because of the disappointment so far about a year ago.

JF is exactly what I wanted and needed plex to be, and everything added since is a worsened product. The lifetime pass was an attempt at getting the peace of mind of "then you just have it". If anything, only FOSS can give that.

That's what I'm trying to do understand as well. What's the explanation for these kinds of things? What's the actual sequence of events and how conditions that lead to these things? Why would the board approve of this kind of compensation?

Hm, if it spawns some external process, would it be possible to wrap that in a shell script of the same name (and have its dir earlier in PATH), which in turn calls the other one, but through trickle?

If you're on Linux, you have a lot more options to affect the system. You could try running Heroic Launcher through trickle: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/34116/how-can-i-limit-the-bandwidth-used-by-a-process

Ideally this would be implemented on the client side, i.e. Heroic Launcher, but there seems to some challenges in making that happen: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/597

What do you mean by natively?

That's when it became obvious that he was a terrible human. The odds weren't exactly good, since only a deeply flawed human can actually amass that much wealth.

However, the "oh my, is... is he... an idiot?" came some time later for me. Aka, the "Elon moment". The point in time when you hear Elon reveal how clueless he is, by talking about a topic you know something about. I think it was watching the absurdly cringy teams meeting with twitter engineers

He is clearly shit at engineering, has no idea about software development ... sooo, it stands to reason that he also doesn't know much about rocket science.

He sure seems to be gifted at making governments subsidise his ventures tho. So, that's something... I guess.

I'm going to give an explanation, without having a single clue as to whether or not is accurate.

Encryption keys can have many layers, baking in different expiration dates. Rotating one might be required without needing to rotate all.

I probably wouldn't go much further than a couple of hours drive. The mindset of travelling half the world "just cuz we can" has become unpleasant.

MH: World is the only MH game I tried, out of curiosity. It ended up on my library at some point as a PS+ game. Got through the initial "story" thing, if you can call it that. The tutorial. Getting to the camp. The mandatory chat with 10 different people. Did the first real "hunt".

It seemed to mind bogglingly boring, that after that mission, I just uninstalled the game.

Wilds looks amazing. Which makes me wonder if the games are sufficiently different that it might be worth give it a chance.

It's actually a bit refreshing for the US president to be so dumb as to say the quiet parts out loud.

That is the eventual conclusion of capitalism, the way it is currently set to play out.

The only forces that could act against it depend on the distribution of critical information.... And those are owned by the same private interests.. Soooooo. We'll see. Doesn't bode well at all.
