Keysfox. Google it. Buy a grey market key for 15 bucks.

“basic” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

I recommend a Plex server. People here will yell jellyfin all day long but while it is good, there is shit that will make you tear your hair out. Plex will literally “just work”.

If your TV is a smart TV, you can install the Plex app and from that point on its mostly set and forget.

Yes, it’s fully featured. No bugs that I am aware of.

It’s a really nice Lemmy app. Open source as well iirc.

Fuck me, ads much?

Time to set connect to open all urls in Firefox.

You don’t have to pirate Windows anymore. Just go to Google and search for download Windows ISO. The first result will be Microsoft site and you can download it directly from Microsoft.

You don’t need a license key to install it either. Just go ahead and install it and it will have a watermark that it’s not licensed in the bottom right corner. Microsoft doesn’t really care anymore. Microsoft makes its money from business and enterprise customers. Home users are a drop in the bucket.

Searxng is a search engine aggregator. It sends your search out to all the engines and aggregates the results. No ads, no bullshit, endlessly customizable.

You can use one of the public instances. You don’t have to run your own.

I run my own searxng instance. It’s amazing.

I also spun up my own yacy instance. It was pretty terrible. It could be good, but you would need a pretty beefy machine with a lot of storage and a lot of time for it to index for it to be anything approaching good.

No free speech is not a right. Freedom of speech without prosecution from the government is a right.

No one is required to platform your stupid fucking viewpoint.

The 1st amendment ONLY allows you to say what you like and not have the government prosecute you for it. However, there are still limits to speech that cannot be prosecuted.

For example, you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater. You can’t cause a mass panic that results in injuries or death.

A private company has exactly zero obligation to platform your idiotic ramblings.

Yes, he is. People like this are divorced from reality.

He’s a billionaire or whatever. The speech doesn’t effect him in any way. He still has more resources than he could hope to burn through in multiple lifetimes. Speech literally cannot harm him.

He doesn’t understand that to all the doors, some speech can and does hurt us.

Well, literal Nazis would be a good start.

Also you don’t have to have a pi to run a pi hole. You can run it in windows using WSL. Just search Google for pi hole WSL. All you do is run the power shell script and it does practically everything for you

Also, winaerotweaker makes it easy to turn of ads, telemetry, auto updates and tons of other stuff

Sounds like a pihole on your network would solve all of your issues.

“sending aide to Ukraine, though that is getting iffy”

This tells me everything I need to know. That you would even say something like this means you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Additionally, you realize that those are all separate bills, right?

Lol nice bad faith argument. Fucking Lemmy sockpuppets.

I suggest you read the bill. It isn’t a tik tok ban. It’s actually quite a good piece of legislation.

Bullshit.
