now what?

Just as I was planning to build a Linux Console PC, the RAM and GPU prices are going through the roof. What next will the world do to make me want to nuke it out of existence?

It is just sad western countries don’t have the concept of MRP. At least temporarily you won’t have to pay a lot of money.

I want to upvote and downvote you at the same time lol.

Yep did that just now. Also added a context.

It was on default (i.e 0.0.0.0). Switching to NXDOMAIN worked. Thanks.

Nope when I turn off Adguard DNS implementation (which uses the phone’s VPN slot), the app works normally.

All the blocked requests are app analytics and trackers. Whitelisting them will defeat the purpose. I might just switch to Google Pay’s UPI rather than fighting the government app or just use cash.

Also using DNS filters in a whitelist mode is very inefficient and defeats the purpose of using the internet. I don’t want to make a fool of myself in front of my friends when I am unable to figure out which domains does the restaurant’s digital menu uses so I can go and whitelist them.

It is the only reliable

Apparently the dev got banned. The reason is unclear and I would love to understand the other side but this is on their Github.

I got kicked from Moonlight and Sunshine’s Discord server and banned from Sunshine’s GitHub repo literally for helping people out. This is what I got for finding a bug, opened an issue, getting no response, troubleshoot myself, fixed the issue myself, shared it by PR to the main repo hoping my efforts can help someone else during the maintenance gap.

Thanks I will look into it. I didn’t know stuff like this even existed lol.

As long as it is open source, it doesn’t matter. Forks like Librewolf will disable it.

Ikr I was in a similar debate. I just gave up. I was going to type this — usually said when a person just doesn’t like to find a middle ground and keeps screaming that they are right:

“ठीके बाबा. तूम्ही महान, आम्ही लहान. तुम्हाला चार पाय, आम्हाला दोन पाय. तुम्ही गाढव आम्ही माणूस.”

Translation: Ok bro. You are great, I am not. You have 4 legs, I have 2. You are a donkey, I am a human.

and yet people romanticise and justify that shit

Wait DLSS is about upscaling right? The “features” mentioned in OP’s post are about motion interpolation that makes the video seem to be playing at higher fps than the standard 24fps used in movies and shows.

Yeah cool I am stupid and useless. Now go take your solution and start a revolution. I will grab a popcorn. I have a life to live. 🤡

Sure capitalism has blood on its hands. But pointing to capitalist deaths doesn’t erase the catastrophic death tolls under communist regimes. It’s not a competition of “which ideology killed more,” it’s about which system actually functions without collapsing or requiring authoritarian control.

You can control capitalism with regulations. Communism historically only survives through force and collapses when markets are removed.

Yes, capitalism as a formal economic system is recent but the behaviours it’s built on aren’t. Competition, territorial control, hoarding for security, unequal outcomes all of these exist across nature (including humans). Lions fight for dominance, trees compete for sunlight, squirrels hoard food. Resource competition is older than any ideology.

Communism, on the other hand, assumes sustained large scale human cooperation without hierarchy, which has never existed stably either outside small tribes where scarcity was low and populations small. Scaling that to millions is where it collapses.

I’m not defending status quo. I support regulated capitalism with social welfare (centre-left). Capitalism needs checks, not abolition. Meanwhile Communism needs human behaviour to fundamentally change.

One system builds on instinct and incentives and the other demands we override them entirely.

That’s the difference in feasibility.

Praising few successes shouldn’t mean ignoring the other side i.e repression, shortages, lack of political freedom, stagnation, mass emigration and the fact that the USSR collapsed under its own economic structure.

We don’t have to choose between “uncritical communism” and “unchecked capitalism.” I’m centre left. I believe in a regulated market, social safety nets, labour rights, universal healthcare/education and checks on corporate power without abolishing private enterprise, scientific development or democracy. Capitalism with strong regulation has lifted millions from poverty too.

I’d rather live in a system that mixes market efficiency with social protection not one that sacrifices freedom and innovation for state control.

That’s my final comment and I won’t be reading anything further. Thanks.
