Incidentally: Holy crap does the PS5 not like it when the router captive portals because the internet is down. Took five minutes to get to the homescreen. Another twelve to load Ghost of Yotei.

I'm guessing if I took down the interface fully it'd behave better and that it's the router's annoying "feature" of redirecting all traffic to a static "The Internet No Worky" page that caused it to take obscenely long to timeout all the live checks.

I've talked about the Game Dad in this thread but I don't think I've mentioned what it actually is. It's one of these, a little handheld emulation console, this particular #gameDad is an Anbernic RG353V, it's like a hundred bucks and it's bloody hard to grumble about.

*The true quality bar is 0.5 seconds, but I’m feeling unreasonably generous today

I don't know how to yell this any louder: EVERY LINE OF CODE IS A LIABILITY.
The idea of banning minors from using social media is at its heart an attempt to punish victims instead of going against the perpetrator. If minors are more easily victimized by the predatory practices of large tech corporations it's not their fault. The blame lies squarely on the corporations. They must stop using predatory practices. And that's doubly important because those practices hurt adults and minors alike.

Not without scrapes and bruises and too many mosquito bites. But the labour is done, and now I should rest.

...And of course the ISP has decided today will be a day for an outage. Gorram Rogers (resold through TekSavvy). It's too buggy to be outdoors, and Nebula won't watch itself. Guess I can work through my videogame backlog or ever-growing to-read pile.
