You need a Smart TV

No.

Nobody in their right mind connects their TV to the internet. If they do, well they are already fucked.

I would never give that clown a dime.

With Linus? You couldn’t pay me to watch that.

Edit: I did grab a subscription to Nebula for a year for €25 because I like someone on there. Seemed reasonable for a whole year of everything they have, and I do like watching Legal Eagle these days.

YouTube is such a great source for adding skills and knowledge

Slowly though. Watching is wasting a lot of time, and nearly everyone on there stretches it out in the name of “content” and sponsers.

There are a few that don’t, but realistically, that knowledge is elsewhere. It’s a shame people don’t self host videos as much any more. I just embed them in my web page if I absolutely need to.

Or simply make the files available, which if you look around, a lot of them are out there, so download and watch at your pace, and delete when done.

got it. It is as simple as them adding the channel. It doesn’t have a lot of features, but it is serviceable.

Its done for me, there is nothing there I need to see.

Personally I think it’s time to just move on you tube is done.

But if it’s roku they can add the playlet channel. Youtube without ads.

Why people keep using Linked In is beyond me. It never has been anything more than a data mining operation with people gladly giving them all their real details.

Remember when Linked IN became the man in the middle of your emails? It would read them and send email to your contacts list.

Microsoft has said after they purchased them that they were only in it for the data. This is no secret.

I will not hire people who put linked in on their resumes, as I have to assume they are just stupid.

Why? They can terminate you at any time why can’t they change terms at anytime?

He says its likely Greta.

No joke.

How the fuck do governments not at least check out the plan? It isn’t a secret: Theil is a moron about people and believes in the theory that people need to be controlled and monitored, but also believes that a single world government is bad.

Therefore the only solution (in his mind) is that HE monitor everyone because only HE knows best.

Simply: Windows XP began the enshittification and it has only gotten worse since then.

I used duckduckgo for a long time, still a good choice. Now i am using that and Kagi.

The nice thing about either is you can use !bangs to search and get to specific sites quickly.

Wow. Thats horrible. Google has been a shitty search engine for a while now, but this is even worse.

I quit using them as my main search probably 5 years ago. But I get that most people still use it and most people will be misled.

Awful.

This is stupid. Just make your own streaming service.

Environmentally awful though.

Ingredients are terrible and they are bulky and heavy to transport.

Makes more sense to have your own server and make a sleeve or carboard qr code that “plays” your selection to give you the best of both worlds.

There are great uses for crypto, just like there were great uses for Ithica_hours. A place holder for goods and services without physical constraint is a useful idea.

But it wont work. Because people want to leverage that to make fiat. They don’t care about usefulness, actually earning it, or trading for it.

They want to get some, hold it, and sell it back for their fiat. Because of that exchanges came into being so they could capture some of the wealth in the process. And from then on it was never going to be useful. Just a way to hope the next sucker would buy what you had.

Don’t let your TV be on the internet.

No, I am not in battle mode. I just read the link and found it interesting and responded with things I saw in it.

What I didn’t do, was realize you sent TWO links, and I failed to read the second one. But believe me I am not trying to argue in any way. I am just responding.

The second link was also just for backups.

Again, I am just saying that they are not able to demonstrate that they are actually implementing this, AND that both of those links are for backups only. Thats all.

And I totally get what you were driving at: it doesn’t matter, they have a “spare key”.
