Nothing has to do with quality anymore, it’s all about money for the few rich people

Wasn’t LG one of the last good ones left?

Can we do away with trillion dollar companies already,. please? They’re not doing anything good for anyone, it always ends with some CEO’s and shareholders enriching themselves over the backs of others

No company should ba r a worth of more than a billion dollars

No single person should have a net worth of over 10 million

while maintaining transparency and user value

Yeah, that you’ll lose.

It’s the only way to cheat ad blockers

Plus, if you don’t give a shit about your userbase and or long term goals, then who cares, right?

That’s it, were only going to use comic Sans serif from now on!

If they already have the info, the n why ask?

US doesn’t understand why nobody wants to visit their shit hole Country anymore

Aren’t both of those just the eventual outcomes for lack of regulation?

Full on 20

So what is that number really?

I feel like Jenny is the kind of person where if anyone would ever decide to string her up from a tree that loads of people would come to watch and nobody would cut her down.

Everybody would just watch and feel a weight lifted from their shoulders

the company owners aremulti million dollar assholes, that’s why we behave like this

Stop the multi millionaires

Nobody should be worth anything over 10 million. Anything after that should go 100% to taxes.

With that, governments can actually give out free healthcare, free education, universal basic income and all on a high quality because it will have the funding now that we finally stopped a few from hogging all the world’s resources

The other interesting tidbit from this:

Things get dire when US carmakers enter the fray. All but one of the bottom ten brands in the list are American. The best of the worst was Chevrolet at a score of 40. But Tesla makes that failing grade seem respectable with its absolute rock bottom rating of 31, trailing Jeep by just one point.

That is because everything American has been shit since forever with all the lack rules and regulations, but in the last decade, things really have gone off a cliff

This right here is the reason why piracy is as big and healthy as ever.

It’s not about the money. Hell, we’re spending thousands now whereas before it was at most a few hundreds per year. But now we can watch whatever we want without bullshit, without advertising

It’s not about the ease of use. We now spent countless hours on building a libraries with everything we’d like to watch which I know will always be there

It’s not about wanting to be “a criminal” or not caring about artists. Most artists get shit from Spotify, for example. We’d rather pay a few hundred per year to some foundation that will pay artists a fair share

It’s about not wanting to deal with these huge anti social power monger companies and their shitty policies anymore.

You can’t watch this, we won’t allow it.

You can’t watch that, you live in a country where it’s bad for our profits if we allow you to watch that.

You can’t watch this one because it’s better for our profits that we dropped this so you now need to pay double for some other provider because we decided so.

We need to monitor your every move and excuuuusee me siiiirrr, i need to inspect ya aaasshole now… Please also give me all your personal information, minus the “please” because we’ll just take it

You know, we’re so big now, and you have so little options, we’ll make you eat h add anyway even though you pay us

Fuuuuuuckkkk all of that.

It’s the headline rewritten for reality

If you run Linux, you’re fine, but if you did you probably already knew this

On Windows, i guess you’re fine, probably, maybe, but without AV you’re already at right with any normal Internet usage.

I’d just say switch to Linux and be done with the question

I’ve had similar issues using CSF firewall. They just pushed out updates that apparently support docker a little better but I still have to fight with that to get that working, I don’t know if that will fix it, but give it a try

How I discovered a microphone by reading the he documentation on GitHub?

Likely because the manufacturer used of off the shelf hardware that just happened to have GPS built in? That’s just how these things go, it’s easier to just use pre designed hardware for what you need, even if it has functionalities you won’t use.

Hell, I’d argue that the vast majority of computer hardware out there isn’t using half of the features that it has.

Just because features are there doesn’t mean they’re used, and definitely doesn’t automatically mean that there are evil or nefarious intentions with its design
