Let’s all hope the publisher doesnt fire the whole damn studio right before launch like is apparently common these days.

Honestly, if I’m costing the company that made my TV money just because I refuse to let it track me, all the better. They deserve it for trying to crab that shit up my ass in the first place!

If you have a nice enough router you could connect your TV to it and block its Mac address maybe.

I’ve had times in my life where it felt like there was nowhere for my life to go. It might not seem like it now but things can get better. I honestly hope things get better for you.

Wow, you must live a pretty sad life if you really believe that.

The 5th of November…oh shit that was yesterday.

Are we in the V for vendetta timeline now?

We don’t, enough of the US is gerrymandered as fuck and we use first past the post voting so most of us are voting to get a plurality for the guy other than the one we hate more, and that’s if your even interested in politics here. The whole system is fucked and corrupt.

Edit: oh yea and the electoral college fucks us too.

And this is why I always use a VPN on my phone.

With ya there. I would totally wear sweatpants to work if I were allowed to though.

Think of it like this: imagine if there were 2 reddit websites and users from each website could post, comment, and vote on each others website through their own website. For example, your instance(website) is Lemmy.world. mine is sh.itjust.works. I’m not commenting on lemmy.world, I’m commenting on your comment on a lemmy.world community(subreddit) using my instance(sh.itjust.works) in the same way that if you have a gmail address and I have yahoo we can still send emails to each other. Instances can block other instances as well, which is called defederating, but by default they all cross communicate with one another to deliver a (mostly) shared experience. So if you made an account on another instance, as long as it’s not defederated with the ones hosting the communities you subscribe to, you are effectively changing which servers you are using without changing the content you get.

That would be an improvement actually, because the customers of these companies are not users, they are other companies looking to advertise or buy users personal data. The users of for profit social media are in fact the product, not the customers.

As an audio engineer I can confirm that shielding is more important in a cable than whether or not it has gold plated connectors. Gold plated connectors don’t really do much unless the connectors are worn down and don’t make good contact in the first place, shielding actually does something for signal to noise ratio, especially for unbalanced and/or mic level(low level signal) and/or long cables. This is really only applicable for analog stuff for the most part of course.

OK so I’m user Linux and currently using nobara(GE’s version of fedora). Should I be considering a distro hop in the near future?

Yes, up to minimum wage, which is still often not enought to live on.

On jerboa, the save button looks like a bookmark button. On the web ui it’s a star.

I’m saving this post with a non floppy disk save button.

Sounds like the “substantial risk” is due to private companies insisting on using an insecure system and them complaining when inmates want to learn that system to get JOBS.

In some of the hotest parts of the US it can get above 120F sometimes, and a quick google tells me that is about 49C.

A lot of that traffic is people googling something and finding the answer on reddit and then getting on with their lives. it will probably be that way for quite a while.
