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

What the headline doesn’t say either: just use Linux already as that just works

Yes, I’m that guy, sorry, not sorry

Well he ain’t making it to the end of his term, for sure, but can that brain aneurysm please hurry a little? I need a president that might cause the world to survive climate change and well, there isn’t much time left, if any at all

That’s fine, for a everything else there is jellyfin

Cyber security

In sure it protects children too by scanning for “child pornography” too, right?

Funnily enough, my new ulefone allowed me to at least completely disable that crap. First one where that is possible. Even the shitty swipe right and you get Google’s forced news app, which you could “disable” so that it would show a shitty screen with “please enable Google News!”, can be completely disabled. First time in like 10 years on a non custom ROM that I could do this.

So? Who cares? Drive letters were always a dumb idea.

Also, obligatory “get your butt off of windows, switch to Linux.”

arguing AI involvement is inevitable in future development

Exactly. We all know this AND WE ALL WANT TO ONOW WHAT GAMES DO THIS. That is the fucking pint, Timmeh!

Large groups of people hate AI with a passion and want nothing to do with it, a with the biggest % of that group found in the more tech savvy people, like gamers. We know more about AI, which is why we don’t want it

We don’t want big riddled vibe coded games with dead graphics made by only a few people and loads of AI where all the profits go to the few people left, mainly the CEO and shareholders, mainly you.

But, you already know all of this, don’t ya Timmeh? That is after all, the reason why you want that label gone, don’t you Timmeh? You know that, it that label goes through, you won’t be selling any AI games there and then you have to use actually underpaid developers and gfx artists to do the work and those salaries will mean no fourth Ferrari for you. Man, it sucks having to be in your shoes.

Go fuck an AI generated umbrella, you piece of vibe shit

Imagine a federated system that allows everyone to host this and everyone can vote on a designated target

Ticketmaster is being a dick? Vote! Ticketmaster is now ddossed until it makes hard changes to its policies and brings prices down to like 10% of what it is today

Boeing continues to focus on money only, not safety? Ddos until it changes

The Cheeto is murdering innocent people again? The entire world will ddos everything US until he’s removed.

I know this won’t ever happen, but I see this as potentially useful in making the world a better place for everyone

That needs just two words:

Thank you.

No, still not.
