I put on my robe and wizard hat
When our last TV which was ‘smart’ died, we just bought a big lcd monitor at the pawn shop. We already were only using Kodi on an Android box, so a monitor with external speaker is fine. (Seemed spyware free last time I checked, but beware no-name android media boxes on=from eBay etc., use a tiny or old spare PC instead if you wish).
One must ‘sail the high seas’ tovget content, of course…
No, I know that – I honestly want them both to die :p
Both have been a blight on software development for decades.
Can Oracle kill javascript as well, please? Please?
Recommend “Human Resource Machine” as well :)
We should do more than block them, they need to be teergrubed.
A noble thing if you could pull it off.
But stay away from windows for the rest of your life and always prepare your own tea.
You can, but now it’s called “a big monitor and your own server with a personal media library”.
You spread misinformation, gardylou@lemmy.world. Anyone who cares to do so can verify the info I give below.
Snowden stated from the start that he originally intended to go from Hong Kong to Ecuador, who had promised him asylum. He intentionally gave away all copies of his data, destroying his own, to the journalists who had met him in Hong Kong to evaluate his leaks (verify sources before believing those who claim ‘he leaked info to Russia’). He fully intended to be ‘clean’ if he were interdicted on his way out of Hong Kong.
The US illegally (violating international law! It is illegal for a nation to render their own citizen stateless while abroad) revoked his US passport as he flew to Russia, which he meant to be a temporary stop only to obtain passage on a flight to Ecuador as Ecuadorian officials were to be there in order to receive him.
The President of Ecuador’s own Presidential Plane, with the Ecuadorian President onboard was forcibly grounded over EU airspace, by fighter jets, at the USA’s behest, on suspicioun that Snowden might be aboard. Snowden was trapped in a Russian airport, against his will, with no valid passport, essentially rendered Stateless – again, a violation of international law perpetrated by the USA against one of its own citizens.
Imagine the USA’s response if Airforce One were forcibly grounded to a foreign airport, by foreign fighter-jets, at the behest of another country.

Individual does this – CFPA indictment instantly.
MegaCorp does this – Oh dear, we absolutely must meet to plan to implement a meeting to form a panel that will plan to meet to maybe ask nicely that MegaCorp stop what they’re doing (or pay us lots of lobbying funds to make it go away, which it will do anyhow, just not quite as quietly as if they pay us $$$)
Repressed memories flooding back. Our school gym didn’t always keep them inflated properly, so the strong, taller guys would really launch them and the flaccid rubber things would splat against our young bodies like lead jellyfish.
Holy hell dodgeball was a war crime. But so. much. fun.
The ‘medics’ were not supposed to be targets… hah, hah. ‘Oops, collateral damage!’ :/ :)
Remember, this guy’s entire family, the DeVos family, has their claws in lots of US policy.

Hah, no – oops, will fix :) Thanks
Gee, no one could have predicted that AI might be dangerous if given access to nukes.
Depends, what are the samples used? If it’s all sad trombones it might not be so great. Then again …
Or, please consider Devuan as well, to ensure there are distros without hard dependencies on systemd, an expansive attempt to cement IBM/RedHat’s control over the direction of Linux through foundational changes to the init, filesystem, login, homedir, and other components…
Please don’t bother replying to change my mind… never gonna like systemd no matter what. If it works for you, fine. Some of us still find it wholly unnecessary.
