  • And when they ignore the subpoena?

  • Seriously an HOA Karen has more power than a US senator now.

  • I’m Sure the engineers weren’t crazy about this idea either. The business majors are to blame, not the engineering majors.

  • The funny thing is you can just use an external box and never connect your tv to the internet at all. Let it collect all the data it wants. It’s not like it can tell anybody.

  • Truth. Before there was at least some sort of pressure on the ad industry to incentivize our attention. They had to make it interesting or funny.

    Now, it’s a far less consensual arrangement. “I will hold your Skinner box hostage until you listen to me!”

    UBo, pinchflat, SponsorBlock, jellyfin, WireGuard, Apple shortcuts for auto connect and activation when I get in my car, and now I get my stories while I’m driving and those obnoxious vultures can fuck right off.

    If Adblock blocking goes away, so will I. This is already more work than I feel like putting into it and the quality of online content has really gone downhill. The enshittification is so extreme now that it’s just not worth paying for things anymore.

  • On the plus side, AI will make the obnoxious ad goblin career track less profitable now. So, good news.

  • The ai industry is trying to create a dependency on itself before the bubble bursts. That’s all this is. Business majors running scams.

  • I hate musk. I also hate Netanyahu.

    Fuck it, let them kill eachother.

  • By eliminating all free people, yes you can technically do that.

  • They don’t have him by now, they never will. Which means they will just frame someone else.

    It’s sad, I still remember Charlie’s last words: “It’s fall everyone. Time to get your shots!” - Charlie Kirk, vaccine advocate

  • I’m on the fence too. But Android is getting much worse with Google kneecapping alternative ROMs an Linux phones aren’t quite there yet.

    My 14 pro has a tiny chip in the glass in the corner. If I replace the battery, then they will have to replace the screen too and my that point I’m halfway to a new phone anyway. So I’m looking at my options.

  • That’s the whole point of that rule. It’s taboo to discuss things in polite conversation that those in power don’t want you to discuss.

  • This cycle has been brutal. There are too many issues. They have flat out refuse to address and they’re ready to ship?

  • Samsung did it because it leaked Apple was always doing this.

    It’s likely a test case for their upcoming foldable. If they make it this thin they can Cana decent idea of some of the failure modes of the foldable that they may not have predicted.

  • Aluminum was the better material for this use case. All that’s changed is Apple is finally admitting it.

  • Plex is riskier just by having a cloud things phone home to. One target to hit that can affect multiple users.

    Depending on your use case, jellyfin may actually be more secure.

  • “No, it’s okay when we do it”

  • Translation: “everything the right dislikes is to be declared “political” and taboo to discuss. Only things they approve of are acceptable conversation.”

    This is the problem with “don’t talk politics” policies. It makes discussion anything those in power dislike taboo. It’s a way to telling people they are not allowed to discuss things inconvenient to those in power. Never trust this.
