Oh... yeah, that makes more sense than "decrypting" it to inspect it.

Anyway, I think I'll delete the article, I think you're right and it is unuseful.

Hm, I think you are right. Looking at it again, there's also this:

For one, enterprises largely disable QUIC and force websites like Google to downgrade back to TCP. This is because there’s only a single firewall vendor that can decrypt and inspect QUIC traffic (Go Fortinet!).

I definitely don't think that is how it works. Maybe enterprises disable QUIC, but it's not because they can decrypt and inspect HTTPS traffic.

I hope this shit turns out okay, seems like the rollercoaster's pretty much at the peak of that first big hill.

"Why I got a bird hand? Why I got a bird hand? Oh..."

Yeah, it sits at this very satisfying cusp where it is clearly saying something, once you get over the "look at this upsetting thing I'm showing you" level, but I can also totally believe people coming to totally different conclusions about what it is saying. It's wild.

Fart gas is warmer than the surrounding atmosphere, therefore less dense. Your digestive system is under very slight compression (10-20 mmHg gauge pressure according to the internet), which I would guess does not equate to enough pressure to be more significant than the temperature gradient. Fart gas is also less dense than air at a given pressure by a pretty significant margin (1.06 g/L compared with 1.20 g/L).

When you fart, you're releasing gas that is less dense than the atmosphere, which means you get slightly heavier. Think of yourself as a hot air balloon with a very tiny chamber, and when you release a 90 milliliter fart, you lose a little buoyancy and sink a little. You get heavier when you fart.

I haven't done the math, but I looked around on the internet at some numbers, and that's what I think. I also ignored this because it is clearly AI slop, which is a little upsetting.

Updates are usually automatic (at least in the modern days with Steam), and DLCs are optional.

Okay so by that definition, this one is a free DLC. Glad we got that cleared up lol, that was why I described it as a DLC.

I don't think of DLC as having an explicit connotation of either free or paid, it can be either. Whatever. I've now edited the title again to what I should have titled it in the first place. Hopefully everyone can put this to bed and move on to some other equally urgent internet disputes now.

IDK what is the panic about the distinction between a game update and a game DLC. I posted it because I played it and it was awesome and I wanted to let people know. In any case, I edited the title to say "update," hope you're okay with that phrasing.

What in your mind is the difference between a free update, which you can download, that adds some content, and free DLC?

It is excellent. It is brilliant. Everyone's different, surely there are people who won't like it, but for me it was top notch.

One of the most important parts of a propaganda framework is the introduction of code-words, little phrasings that automatically call to mind a particular narrative you're trying to construct. "People are fleeing California to move to red states" may be true, it may not be, it may be because of property values more than anything else. Doesn't matter. By incorporating that same phrasing and framing into as many different contexts as possible, it does two things:

1. It gives people security. It's like a little affirmation that gives them assurance they're on the right side. They can slip it into conversation on their YouTube channel, in their press conference, at their dinner table. It reminds them that everyone on the "enemy" side is stupid, and losing, and they're on the right side. It gives them camaraderie, it strengthens the bond.
2. It creates an artificial external reality. If you just walk up to people a few times a week and say, "Democratic policies are a failure," they'll think you're super weird, and they might even disagree with you. But if you just use the code-word, if you allude to it, even in contexts like this that have nothing to do with anything, it'll smuggle its way into their worldview without them even noticing. Eventually, it's reach a point where if someone tries to tell them it's not that way, they'll scoff and decide the person is stupid, because everyone thinks that, they hear it everywhere.

It's very effective.
