"While you have repeatedly claimed that the ACP is necessary for connecting participating households to the Internet, it appears the vast majority of tax dollars have gone to households that already had broadband prior to the subsidy," the Republicans' December 2023 letter to Rosenworcel said.

That may be partly explained by the fact that many ACP recipients were getting a different discount under a predecessor program that ended once the ACP was implemented. The $30 monthly ACP benefit replaced the previous $50 monthly subsidy from the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program that started enrolling users in May 2021.

This mod adds an on-brand menu to the GameCube where you can play ROMs off of an SD card. The coolest part is that it piggybacks off of the disc drive instead of replacing it! And no soldering! I'm a big fan of passionate retromod projects like this.

I've gotten a lot more into movie-watching over the past year or two, and I'm ready to move off of my Google Sheets list (I know, I know). The obvious platform is letterboxd, but is there really no established alternative in the fediverse?

It's surprising to me that Bookwyrm enjoys moderate success, but I have not found anything for viewable media, which I would think there would be a greater audience for.

I didn't see a link to the study in the article, I believe this is it: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10583170/

Summary (from the article):

  • Firefox for Android now has third-party extension support, allowing users to customize their browsing experience.
  • Mozilla has made over 450 extensions available for Firefox on Android, with more to come in the future.
  • While Chrome dominates the mobile browsing market, Firefox aims to stand out by offering extension support on Android.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I love watching the ratio go up on my torrents. Is there anything out there that can take a download percentage, seed ratio, etc from qbittorrent and turn it into a live bar graph (or something more artistic)?

The most stark example against this is the original MW2 - in addition to the anti-war quotes everyone loves to talk about every time you die, the main antagonist is literally a US Army General (admittedly he is distanced from the actual Army by the end, using a PMC instead).

The black ops games have some twist that often provoke the the thought of whether the ends justify the means. ::: In Cold War, the main character, Bell, is actually a captured Russian soldier that they have brainwashed to fight for the US as part of an experimental program. When this is revealed, you have the option to betray your "team" and lead them into a Russian trap :::

That being said, I haven't played all of the cod campaigns, especially some of the more "historical" entries. It's more fun to play this type of game when it makes you feel like what you're doing is justified. It's important to remember it's all fiction, but hey, it's not going to be for everyone. If you feel like the game you're playing goes against your morals, no shame in switching it off for something else.

As Reggie from Nintendo once said, "If it isn't fun, why bother."

Looking for recommendations on a good FOSS journal/diary app for Android. Preferably encrypted at rest. Cross-device sync isn't important for me, looking more for a thought dump than anything.

Yep, you can switch them to Bluetooth mode now. Works pretty well! https://stadia.google.com/controller/

There's a lot of things we'd like to get better at, but ideas like "eat healthier" or "get more exercise" can feel lofty and difficult to start. How do you break it down and make those first steps?

What's something you'd like to do, but could use a little extra boost to get started?

"These products are garbage," he says. "We are not used to them, they are not part of the Mediterranean diet. And they could be a threat for people: we don't know what eating insects can do to our bodies.

As opposed to red meat, which we know causes health issues in large quantities...

People are afraid of change, I get it. The thought of eating bugs weirds me out too, but do it for a month or so and I'm sure it's fine.

I'm in the mood for some creepy sci-fi, but Black Mirror can be really hit or miss for me. What should I watch tonight? I just finished the fake star trek one from season 4

I have a fork of Jerboa to help with any login issues for those with accounts still on 0.17.x, until either the servers upgrade or until a newer version allows connecting to both 0.18 and pre 0.18 servers.

Later tomorrow I will include a version with the app name changed so that it can run alongside dessalines' version.
