    • I don’t use any wireless connecticity for my PC, just a plain old ethernet cable.
    • The ping test was fine. 176 packets received, 0% lost, only 3-4 outliers with 150ms, average 15ms.
    • ethtool was fine 1000mbps and full. Bufferbloat was fine too, 20ms.
    • I’ll try cl_interp_ratio tomorrow and report back.
    • Noone is wwtching anything in 4k, maybe some YT on phone (I have cable).
    • One site that gave me some bad results was packetlosstest. Someone on reddit suggested using it to test some CS preset. No lost packets, but about 8-10% are late (more than 40ms).


  • Ok, but we have to start somewhere, don’t we? This is the same type of thing like all the awareness campaigns. The effectiveness can’t be measured that easily and societal change is slow. Most people would love if things changed over night and tomorrow brought a new, better world.
    How long did workers fight for basic rights? How long did people fight against monarchies and absolutists in favor of democracies?
    Blizzard was the holy grail of gaming up until the rumors started floating around. Then came the evidence and the boycotts. Most of their clients have no interest in gaming news and heard just the hyper around Blizzard games (just like Bethesda). Spread the word as far as you can to reach those people and change will follow.
    The student protests you mentioned started fairly recently compared to the opression and brain-washing that have been going on for decades. It takes idealists and public pressure, and not careere politicians to change society. If just a few of those see a growing mass which they can ride to secure their position, they sure will at least bring some positive action.
    We can disagree on the methods used, but not on the goal. You are free to fight the same battles the way you see fit. Don’t forget that most of the traffic to Lemmy came from the Reddit boycott - myself included. I stayed and so did many others. Even if it is just a small dent in Reddit’s profits.
