Singularity Sky (The Eschaton #1) by Charles Stross

definitely a turnoff for me.. years ago when I first discovered Diablo 2 on an old computer at a place I was house-sitting at, I had no internet whatsoever.. nothing
that game kept me sane in so many ways
eventually several months later I managed to leech some web access from an old construction yard or something behind the place, but that's a story for another time..

ffmpeg, if you don't mind the command line.. there's only two options you really have to know for editing, -ss and -t , starting time and length, respectively.. also don't forget that first -i for input file name, output file name is always last
eg, ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:01:40 -t 00:05:00 output.mp4
that would clip out five minutes starting at a minute forty seconds in, the file names are obvious

Renegade BBSes -> IRC -> slashdot -> digg -> reddit -> imgur -> discord -> mastadon
with plenty of side quests along the way
