He is talking about software. A fucking video conferencing tool not controlled by American tech is no ASML level investment.

We could at least start with this

These are valid concerns, I still value my privacy way more then 4k resolution in some shows and not being able to use unsecure wifi.

My TV isn’t connected to the Internet for the past 4 years no problems here and you can easily set a password on your hotspot if you need one.

Well, I see your pain, but this being the reason to give in is stupid in my opinion. Privacy is worth fighting for but people will only start to realize that, when they don’t have any and it’s too late.

They are all more or less the same chinese products with different cases, but it’s pretty cheap

It doesn’t work as well as the Wii controller since it uses the accelerometer, but you get used to it. The keyboard on the backside too, works for urls and some searching but you most likely don’t want to type longer texts with it.

In this day and age, why even use that smart tv shit?

I switched to an old PC connected to HDMI and a mouse that works like a wii controller. Firefox with AdBlock, audible, Spotify no problem at all here.

I think only tech illiterate people should even consider using smart tv, everyone else: get back you autonomy ffs, there are alternatives to that crab

10.000 in lol, 1.000 in dota, currently. I feel you. On the other hand, haven’t watched tv in 12 years

Funniest thing.: the Mac client also doesn’t support Kernel anti cheat, but it still works. Fuck riot, I’m glad I ditched it.

Same for me but I switched to dota; im not healthier

Thanks for the insight. Lemmy starts to feel like reddit in the past were some specialist or the author of the paper chimed in on the discussion.

Thanks, very nice of you to send me these links. The thing is for me, I refuse to see my ADHD tendencies (never officially diagnosed, but pretty sure) as any kind of illness or shortcoming at all. It’s just the way I am. Fortunately I have the luck to live a life where it doesn’t affect me negatively, so I don’t see a reason to question it.

The links talk about cocaine having a calming affect instead of a stimulating one. That’s funny, because I’m not even sure if it has an effect at all, I’m to dense to really notice any effect. To each his own.

By the way, i just came home from a nights out and I’m on amphetamine, which definitely has an effect I notice. It cures my anxiety and lets me feel at ease. I’d never write these posts without it. Drugs are strange…

I wish you the best my friend!

Most people don’t care about any of that. Firefox with AdBlock to surfe YouTube without ads? Nah, they want the app, which is basically the same, but at least they can’t block ads. I stopped trying to understand

Also, on xitter are all these assholes I don’t care about. I can’t leave that platform. Pathetic!

People will never understand intricacies like that. On the other hand, the big tech corps do. We are doomed

MDMA doesn’t work for me, nor does cocaine. What does that say about me? I don’t care to be honest… but the pro is, I will never get addicted to either of those, which is nice, I suppose. Anyway, what were we taking about?

The problem is, and I’m pretty sure that’s the reason nothing will change, the problem is that people act like corporations have some kind of obligation to act morally. Then they are angry at apple, Microsoft, Monsanto and co.

Corporations are a fucking tool, that try to maximize profit not more, not less.

What everyone has forgotten is, that there should be people setting the rules and optimizing this tool for the best of the people. Instead we all accepted these neo liberal bullshit, where we allow corporations to influence the law. And, oh wonder, who would have thought, these fucking tools use their money and influence to maximize profit even though everyone but the stakeholder suffers from it.

Renewable energy is an example, how in the world can someone prefer burning coal or oil instead of letting the wind turn a fan? But because big oil companies have a way to big part in creating those laws, we fuck the planet until it’s too late and when it’s too late, everyone will blame the tool for it. Which won’t change a fucking thing.

You should never pay a blackmailer, because that incentives blackmailing. Still, everyone pays, because that causes the least pain

Same with this, they can bluff all they want; in the end, they won’t not sell their devices in Europe, because that would mean lost profit and the least pain is complying.

Go die in a dirty back alley apple, you deserve it

Nice analogy. I used this one in the past: “you can’t fix a full disk by deleting word documents”, but I like yours more
