Yeah, they only have a finite number of servers that they can run VMs on, and are pretty consistently at max capacity. That said, there's also limits on individual stream times, so after a certain amount of time you have to reconnect to continue playing (which, if you're playing in a busy time, means re-queueing). So this at least keeps the line moving, in a way.

I haven't tried it in a year or so, but when I played it last, I didn't have very long lines; a minute at most, even at peak hours, on a free (deprioritized) account. Not the end of the world, but definitely an inconvenience.

they have to reinvest most of them into the company and it's employees.

In theory, this would be true. But in Mozilla's case, "reinvesting into its employees" means giving the CEO a pay raise in the same year they did huge layoffs. They may be not-for-profit on paper, but the actions from their execs are exactly the same as you'd see from any other for-profit corp. Being not-for-profit is just an excuse for shitty business practices and doesn't change anything in any significant way, imo.

I've been saying for years that Mozilla is a profit-driven corp, just like any other. If they operated at Google's scale, they'd be evil at Google's scale, as well. It's not the first time they've done something like this, and likely won't be the last.

How are fats, oils, and grease getting into the sewer system, though? Are there enough of those materials left in our poop to conglomerate like that? Or are those from industrial users on the sewer system?

Reddit has been dead, it's why they've stopped banning bots so it looks like there's even more activity than before.

We saw an uptick in this sort of bullshit back in 2016, too. Racists and bigots feel emboldened under Trump. Get ready for more targeted harassment like this, and for nothing to be done about it.

Somebody with better aim. I very much doubt we've seen the last attempt on his life. Groups on all sides are inching closer and closer to extremist acts lately, and don't show any signs of slowing down. We're in for chaos now.

"It's simple, really. We liked the way things were four years ago,"

You liked living in a crumbling economy riddled with mass unemployment and caused by a fumbled pandemic response that resulted in thousands of preventable deaths? Because that's where we were 4 years ago. That's the economy Trump gave us the first time.

For generative AI, yes.

Heat, alone, doesn't dry your clothes. If you've ever had a blocked exhaust tube on your dryer, you'll know that clothes can be hot and wet. You need the airflow to carry the evaporated water away.

I had to get a sleep mask because I can't put up blackout curtains in my apartment. Works well enough for me. But also, I'm pretty sure I've got a mutation on my DEC2 gene, because I only sleep 4-5 hours a night (or day, technically) and feel just fine, so I'm not sure if that helps or hinders my abilities during my waking hours.

Why stop there?
