a better option that doesn’t require specific steps depending on your TV model is just to use a small media PC strapped to the back. and then disable network access for the TV. the benefit of this is that when you buy a new PC, you don’t have to do any research to find out which ones you can jailbreak, because any TV works.

you can then control the media PC with a cheap Bluetooth keyboard/touchpad combo. there are plenty of models available that are no bigger than a large remote and have excellent battery life.

this is some really silly paid marketing.

Does Ghost in the Shell deal with any fresh ideas

they were fresh when the story was first written. at this point, the line between cyberpunk and reality is getting depressingly thin. there is some sexy moments, but the story is one intended for mature audiences, so the sexuality is a normal part of life and isn’t the usual fanservice. oftentimes it’s part of the narrative of whatever is happening in the story as well (sex bots hacked and used to assassinate diplomats, the impact of physical relations in a trans-humanist society where gender no longer matters and is something rich people swap at will, etc.). it’s not often you get something that’s included just to be funny or titillate the audience, and I appreciate that.

Chainsmoker Cat

I skipped that one because I don’t like smoking, glad to see I didn’t miss anything worth watching

absolutely at all time. I can’t say that I see many captchas. I think the last one was for some site I used a couple weeks back that used google recaptcha. it’s pretty rare for me to see one.

I would definitely want the floppy magic hat if I was a caster. It just looks so cool.

Ah, if you knew that a fascist was a great poet you’d shoot him anyway, huh.

the only good nazi is a dead nazi. whatever argument you’re trying to make, it’s not working. for one thing, you can’t even seem to remember what you wrote yourself from one comment to the very next. for another, your posts are all over the place, and you can’t seem to form a coherent thought. I don’t know what it is that you believe because you don’t know what it is you believe, other than seeming to have a particular affinity for fascists.

I don’t think there’s anything you have to say that’s worth listening to anymore. you are dismissed.

at no point and under no circumstances. the very idea is preposterous. why would you need to pay a nazi? kill them and take the goods you need. what a ridiculous question.

you’re not clever, so stop trying to be.

I assume because you made an equivalence between using an internet service and food you would be willing to buy bread from a Nazi? Again, what masters ideology in the necessarily hierarchical market would you accept?

What level of need does a person have to be in for it to be acceptable that they buy bread from a Nazi owned store?

what are you talking about? you made that equivalence. I said it was a stupid fucking equivalence.

if you don’t care about your privacy, would you mind installing a RAT for me?

mullvad occupies a specific niche that pretty much no one else is in right now.

oh I see. you’re not a serious person. there are quite a few vpn providers that are better than mullvad. starting with any that allow port forwarding. mullvad does absolutely nothing that a dozen other vpn providers don’t also do. and if you actually had all this experience you appealed to, then you would know that.

What level of need does a person have to be in for it to be acceptable that they buy bread from a Nazi owned store?

you’re justifying renting a vpn from a nazi by comparing it to buying bread so you don’t starve to death. likely, in your head, this seemed like a good argument. idk, maybe you are some kind of digital being, made of energy, who must consume data to survive. I apologize if this is the case, I must seem speciest for thinking your argument was fucking idiotic.

just fucking admit you don’t see anything wrong with doing business with nazis, you weirdo.

I don’t need to pay someone to dig a hole for my pilings either but the quality and speed of their entrenching is beyond what I can create.

ok, but if there is two companies, one that donates to fascists and one that does not, are you gonna tell me you’ll just shrug your shoulders and go with the nazis because there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism anyway? like, my dude, what the fuck?

you don’t need a VPN company to use a VPN. and using the “no ethical consumption” line is pretty fucking gross when you’re talking about buying shit from nazis.

so like, national socialists. who do we know who also called themselves that?

a fake ID. you can get them easily enough.

It’s open source software with a full commit history, you can literally always go back and it’s impossible to prevent you from having that ability. The whole point of Linux is it can be whatever you want, there’s literally zero way that any government could realistically control Linux, nor any way to implement a practical system to enforce age verification when anybody can bypass it in their install at any time.

Nobody can convince me that in a world were governments can’t even stop non-anonymous piracy that they’re going to be in any way effective at controlling an operating system primarily used by technically savvy people, which is primarily distributed by P2P software most used for piracy.

Do they need to do any updates? The point of it was the message, it was never about making a serious OS. It was literally just “we’re going to break California law because there isn’t shit a single state in the US can do about it”.

Also, I thought I read that open source projects were recently exempted, so the point is probably moot now anyway.

no shit lmao.

I used to use Arch, but I dropped it for CachyOS sometime last year. Cachy is just slightly faster for gaming for me, and since that’s my biggest use, there was no really compelling reason why I shouldn’t use it instead of Arch. Same experience, slightly better performance while gaming, and no additional work to set up. It’s just win after win.

because they signed up for one. this is a shock for a lot of people, it seems, but not everyone is going to behave the exact way you think they should.
