Hm, if it spawns some external process, would it be possible to wrap that in a shell script of the same name (and have its dir earlier in PATH), which in turn calls the other one, but through trickle?

If you’re on Linux, you have a lot more options to affect the system. You could try running Heroic Launcher through trickle: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/34116/how-can-i-limit-the-bandwidth-used-by-a-process

Ideally this would be implemented on the client side, i.e. Heroic Launcher, but there seems to some challenges in making that happen: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/597

What do you mean by natively?

I probably wouldn’t go much further than a couple of hours drive. The mindset of travelling half the world “just cuz we can” has become unpleasant.

It’s actually a bit refreshing for the US president to be so dumb as to say the quiet parts out loud.

That is the eventual conclusion of capitalism, the way it is currently set to play out.

The only forces that could act against it depend on the distribution of critical information… And those are owned by the same private interests… Soooooo. We’ll see. Doesn’t bode well at all.

Not random people, but people doing a good job and making him look bad.

In the trolley problem, is it “wrong” to divert the train from many to one? Given the immediate effect that killing has had, I don’t think it is unreasonable think that taking that one life has (stochastically) saved at least a two digit number of other lives.
