And I also fear overburdened professionals not having time to second guess ML hallucinations.

I just got frustrated with it.

You’ve got the battle for the survival of an entire planet after they all got biodroned.

How many chapters that actually detail what happened? It felt like all it did was go

Attack announced, humans arrive and set up a beach head, daar flattens a few cities in the background.

Then spends more time talking about how he is burdened and manly as a result of doing it than the actual doing.

The Hell storyline after that gave me hope, as I trudged through chapters of “cor, look at Adam’s muscular muscles muscling”, but once that finished, and we started getting storylines like “Why can’t we have guns in Folctha? Murica!”, I kinda gave up.

The main contributor continued writing it on a full novel scale at https://deathworlders.com/ .

However…Imho after about 40 chapters, it really loses it’s way (bar a couple of cool minor plots). And the author goes a bit right wing rhetoric/muscleporn-y.

I like to think a list like this is highlighting that you can enjoy being british without being one of the wankers you mentioned.

It’s only Virgin Media to my knowledge who does this.
Most of the other providers are happy for you to use anything that works properly for VDSL or FTTP.

Most FTTP providers fit an ONT that puts the connection back into an RJ45 ethernet connector.
Then you connect to the provider using PPPOE. Anything past the ONT, you can do whatever you like.
