Alas my TV (LG WebOS 2) doesn’t have an application for Jellyfin, or I’d have switched years ago :-(

Intelligence shared with White House

oof, not sure that’s a great idea Europe, anything you share with them will end up on Putin’s desk :-(

They don’t want foreigners in that country any more, and are willing to treat them badly to get their message across.

Don’t end up in one of their detainment concentration camps, you never know when you’ll be allowed to leave, the way they keep suddenly changing how they do things - for the worse - every few weeks, it could be never.

Don’t go to that country. It’s too dangerous.

AI authors - not the human users - the AI themselves, Mister Anderson.

How are they allowed to give it the exact same name as an Intel CPU line?

I’ve got a Core 2 Duo around here somewhere…

I beg to differ mate, if I’m paying by providing you with my E-Mail address which you’re going to use for god only knows what. No thanks.

I was under the impression things like ReVanced were against the rules?

An actual fix wouldn’t be a suggestion to use an entirely different application or dodgy homebrew patch anyway, that’s just silly. That’s like saying “Your car is making a weird noise? Here, drive one of these other cars instead”.

It’s like those pretentious people who gleefully come out of the woodwork to comment “tehehe you should switch to Linux” whenever someone asks a question about a Windows issue. No help whatsoever, they’re just trolling because they feel superior and want others to know it.

Linux is a good OS, by the way. I use it, but I’m not a dick about it to others :P

Well, yeah. An ISP has to be extremely highly trusted to not do anything malicious with your traffic (beyond what the state makes them do of course).

Musk and the US in general to a lesser extent can no longer be trusted to safeguard our data. I assume that EVERYTHING going through his system is logged, even the majority encrypted stuff is being saved to be decrypted at a later date once decryption methods become more viable on his supercomputers, as they always eventually do.

If you’re using a Musk service of any kind, assume everything you’re sending/receiving is fully visible to him, and his allies. That way you’ll never be surprised.

Wait until that 20/20 hindsight

The real question is why are you eating Soap

Why would America have any say in English law in English waters? They can feck off back across the pond to their fascist country if they think they can dictate the rule of UK law.

But what about his 3rd term? He’s going to need to put the work in to make that happen. Not in gathering many votes granted, but to ensure the election falls in his favour when the time comes.

Thankfully for him, as you say, he has a close symbiotic partnership with the rich, and they along with the government staff he is putting into position (and purging those who aren’t loyal to him) are the ones who control the voting process. So, with a little hard work, mostly done by other people, he’ll win the next election.

The article goes into more detail? If people aren’t willing to read past the headline that’s their own fault. We can’t babysit grown adults.

It’s about time! I’ve wanted to buy a European for years but never knew where to look

Of course it’s not chicken pox, we know measles well, we’ve vaccinated our kids against it at school for longer than I can remember.

It’s one of those extremely rare, easy to prevent illnesses we’ve almost gotten rid of for good :-D

As an American? Surely you mean as a proud member of the new American Protectorate of the Russian Federation, comrade?

APRF, got a ring to it!

Anyway better start being proud or it’s off to Gulaganamo Bay…

You were the chosen one! 😭

I agree, I don’t want my browser provider to collect any data on me at all, but if they absolutely must gather the absolute minimum system analytics stats or such they should NEVER pass it to a third party for ANY reason.

You make a desktop browser application, that’s your job, to provide a portal to the world wide web, nothing more. Stay within your bounds and we’ll never have any problem.

Yeah, it’s such a depressing thing.

For a long time growing up I didn’t even know what racism was. It existed and was there if you looked for it, but as a child it wasn’t really taught to us, and if you don’t experience something directly - and importantly don’t have a brain that can easily understand the concept of hating other people based on silly random things like skin colour or where they’re born - it can be easily overlooked entirely.

This works both ways though, when we were young we heard racist jokes and just thought of them as jokes. We thought the joke was for example making a little fun of the differences between people from different places, like their accents, in a light-hearted way that works both ways (like other people would make fun of our accents too, and its all done in a generally good natured way), but as we grew older and got a bit wiser we saw the differences between those “jokes” and the actual good natured sort of stuff.

When you can’t conceive of that sort of hatred, you often can’t see it even when it’s presented in front of you wrapped up to look like something acceptable, I suppose.

Thinking further, on the one hand I’d say we weren’t really taught very effectively at school what racism was until well into our teens, even though we were taught from the youngest ages to have a basic kindness and respect for everybody, etc etc. We were taught to be anti-racist basically, but weren’t actually told that racists exist and what racism actually was.

I wonder if the lessons would have carried a little more understanding if we were shown the larger picture earlier.

Anyway, yeah. It sucks that people can’t just ignore all the race/gender/etc stuff and just treat people the same.

We’d still find loads of reasons to hate each other :-P But it would based on our beliefs, actions and character, not stupid things like the colour of our skin or where we’re from!

Ignoring whatever happened in the majority of your comment

I feel like this is some sort of sly insult 😅

Like, imagine having a polite conversation with someone and they respond with “ignoring whatever happened when you just opened your mouth,…”

Does this mean we can’t be friends? But you’re so well spoken and cool ):

Ignoring whatever happened at the start of your comment, that’s fascinating! I assumed it was a biological test, silly me. I suppose I agree with the general concept there, I don’t really want people who support genocide to be involved with anything I’m involved with, where possible.

Giving it some thought though, life isn’t so cut and dry, someone who likes genocide might also live in my neighbourhood and share some of my beliefs about needing the bin men to come round more often, and thus we’d find ourselves allied at a local Council meeting or such, where preferably I’d not want them to be involved in anything I’m involved in, but in this case it’d harm my own cause to try to exclude them.

So, do you lock them out of things for that one belief - potentially weakening your own cause, or do you let them participate - thus diluting your opposition of the thing they support that you are against (e.g. genocide)?

I suppose it’s a difficult question that we all must look inwards to our moral compasses and answer for ourselves.

P.S I looked up what gop means for those out of the loop, it means “Grand Old Party”, which is another name for the current ruling political party in over the pond in the USA (officially called Republican Party).
