Chaotic Entropy

“Might”… it’s introducing an artificial delay when loading videos.

What a bargain… a mere $500m, and however much “travel assistance” costs, to trash your own economy.

From the consumers of necessary services that they have wholly captured…?

I could spend a lot of time sifting through ads, nag screens and bullshit to find the actual detail I want on a webpage.

Sounds like you want to nationalise the internet and all its services. :P

If only we could pay for a worthwhile internet via taxes.

At least the chart is in legend order, I guess.

I guess I am pretty far from saturating my WiFi in any way, the removal of cables with little to no impact on connectivity was far more of a priority for me. I have never noticed a WiFi related outage or performance loss.

I should have rebuilt an old coffee maker in to a Pi Hole instead. I’m such a rube.

I have never felt the need to have a wired connection for my DNS/DHCP, since such a trivial amount of data exchanges hands. The quality of the wired connection if it had one would similarly have negligible impact, surely.

I mean, a lot of things would work, I could power it all with potato batteries if I had enough. The Pi Zero 2 W only cost ~£15 anyway.

Yeah… I’m not going to stick a clunky old laptop on top of my bookshelf and have it run 24/7 as my PiHole. My Pi Zero 2 W is far more appropriate.

It was fun to thumb my nose at Google while it lasted I guess, maybe if they were less amoral then I’d be less belligerent toward them.

Musk’s falling out with Farage was reportedly because he wasn’t rabidly far-right enough in the correct ways.

I’m complaining, I’m stating.

Which types you like probably hinges on how you feel about flak vested white supremacist militias, I guess.

Can’t view ads if you can’t view videos. Checkmate.

Sure, a service that manages an infinitely smaller amount of content and complexity. It is a situational tool, hardly a YouTube killer… the banner presented on the page professes that it’s expensive to run and please donate.

And suppression of comments, for all sorts of reasons. Words and phrases will constantly flag AI autoremoval.

Hosting and storage costs, few can afford to be an alternative to an absolutely gigantic video storage platform that costs obscene money to maintain.

That’s why they have to spend so much time trying to force you to watch all the get rich quick schemes, gambling, and expiring legal claims videos. What quality ad pushers they work with.
