Didn’t German u-boats get sunk by their crew rather than allow that tech to get into the hands of the Allied powers?

I would think self destruct is the same concept.

My guess is timeframe vs active interactions of posts. Like a short term popularity metric? Lemmy has it as a sort option.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I think I came to a realization that you were answering based on pinging and monitoring speeds for a test. My mind was thinking about someone leaving that option turned off after the tests and what they would do with increased speeds (e.g., change their demand).

Sorry for the confusion.

Oh, I think I know the issue now! The answer was about pinging and getting accurate speed counts. I’m thinking about what happens after when someone leaves that setting off.

Sorry, my mind was working on a different scenario using the same solution.

Well, speeding data up would mean you get to caps quicker. Reaching a data cap in half a month vs a month can be a big deal for some people.

Regarding issue 3 - in America there are data caps and couldn’t this potentially push someone to hit those caps or have the ISP enforce data caps because you’re now a “power user”?

Additionally, does any of option 3 bind your firewall some and reduce your protection?

Sorry for questions, I am trying to learn/understand stuff this.

Close down stores is my guess.

Maybe it should just autocorrect to “scolds” because that’s what it means every time.

I want this for my front yard

Oh. Good to know! I was thinking the original Wolfenstein 3D.

If you’re talking about the engineering quote, I actually have the engineers from command and conquer red alert in my head.

However…….commandos is an awesome series as well!!!

HADOUKEN!

Guten Tag! (Chain guns firing)

WaHOO!

Engineering! Aaaaahfirmative!

I looked up Illinois’ Brad Schneider as I live in the Chicago area. Sure enough, guy is Jewish and involved with AIPAC.

I’m very seriously thinking of writing him to give a piece of my mind. I don’t care if he’s Jewish or not - if this is literally about suppressing someone’s right to protest (Palestine vs Israel), then he does not represent me or many others.

I’m way more impressed with how they pull off restructuring the city I’m in to look exactly like the one I am going to and replacing everyone with actors specific to that area.

If you can summon from the fey realm, all of that is possible - and more!

They have been calling Google out on all sorts of shit for years, to be honest. However, I understand your point.

Many people in the SEO industry have really been calling Google out publicly for this pretty hard and consistently for many months now. Glad they finally listened.

A game we barely understand? Bullshit.

It’s a game of self preservation. It always is and has been. There’s nothing more to it. Preserve your power, make deals, and find ways to compromise and make yourself come out of top while making those that supported you have a win.

Sure thing, man. You’ve been a staple of the community so I’d be happy to chat and have a drink with you!
