Ah, so we can leverage acceleration towards actionable efficiency.

This sadly sounds like one of the projects on my teamat the moment and it's horrifying.

One guy working on it, I'm really the only reviewer. Code is all stuff like this. Variables named j1 through j20, dozens and dozens of nearly identical functions with tons of brute force, copy-pasted code, etc. Works well enough but it's just horrifying to try to read and review.

Edit:. Just remembered, he had all these grouped functions passing (and sometimes returning) 60+ identical variables that didn't need to be local because he refused to use class vars, etc.

He's gotten a lot better about this stuff in the last year though

The browser one is especially bad since there are plenty of good options and they all cost nothing except the most minal amount of time to switch to

I mean, war is partly when any/most rule of law has broken down or isn't present.

It also CAN'T be good for you long-term. Eventually providers start losing money on you. Which means they fail, or they start looking for other ways to monetize you that you probably won't like.

Like, say, Plex.

I choose yearly when I can for this kind of thing.

Personally I can't understand doomsrolers that "prefer" the "algorithm".

Granted, they weren't going to Spain so it wasn't quite as big a deal.

Read a book?

Like, how desperate are you for stimulation that you're making this sound like an emergency?

That's already on the map. They mean there is another.

Oh God I forgot that was happening again already.

Went once. Never again. Especially at the prices now, holy moley.
