There are a lot of people outside of just Lemmy who are upset at how Biden is handling the genocide in Gaza. Maybe not that significant of a portion of the population as a whole, but when he’s trying to win states with slim margins, even a relatively small number of people can make all the difference.
This for me, as well. I have never had an impact on the rest of my network from uncapped torrent speeds with parallel gigabit, so I don’t care to cap it.
