There are things called routers that...route traffic. A dumbed down version is routers talk to other routers to find out what they know about.

If a game server you connect to matches you with someone in Japan, your computer sends a packet with the address in Japan attached to it. Your home router probably has no clue where that is, so it goes to its upstream router and asks if they know, this process repeats until one figures it out and you get a route.

This all happens very quickly, and it's why people say the Internet routes around damage.

Some of the new stuff looks cool, and for all of these knee-jerk reactionaries... optional.

The weird nationalist post 9/11 was rough, but How Do You Like Me Now? is a pretty good revenge song.

By percent I bet the amount of people using nitter is miniscule, meaning Twitter spent a lot of time making sure a small amount of people can't access the tweets.

The multi-billionaire owner with the backing of the Chinese government is claiming that he's the underdog against a popular company/piece of software/GabeN. He's made some poor choices interacting with the community.

Yes, it's probably nice for a publisher to have a guaranteed income, which is why they sell exclusivity. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth, so I choose not to support it.

The rest about the launcher being bad sounds unhinged to me, but some people are really into that.

They bought Rocket League and actively made it worse.

I make $17k more than I did in 2016, but according to the inflation calculator, I make $15k less than I did in 2016.

The underlying health and future prospects of the economy being positive is great, but things are just eye wateringly expensive compared to a few years ago.

I just don't buy it as a 31 year old dog.

This one, everyone is winging it, and hopefully you get enough smart people in a room together they can come up with a solution.

I'm on mint, and just waiting for T-Mobile to come after us. Nothing this beautiful can last.

The wikipedia article on that piece of land is crazy. Religious zealots have been fighting over it since basically recorded history started.

Is there a way to open external links in private mode by default?

I am on Android with Firefox, and there's no way to copy the links out of a post, so it opens in the "powered by Firefox" half browser thing, and id rather open every link in private mode, or have the option to long-press and copy.

Thanks.
