At first I thought you meant Beehaw in general had dropped off trending communities and you were happy to have fewer users 😆

Thinking about it now, the recent months have become much more stable in my experience. Unfortunately, one of those "when things are going right, nobody will notice." So I appreciate you drawing attention to this win.

Thank you for all your hard work!

"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.

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.

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."

The longer I am on Beehaw the more I appreciate it. Proud to be a contributor and grateful for you all 🐝👍

"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.
