Never forget that the baby bells slowly reassembled themselves. They’re not a single company but they’re down to 3 or 4 now

Wow, a whole $1 million. They’ll notice that for like seven seconds.

alternate headline: “UBlock Origin Lite - Crippled adblocker for a google-dominated internet.”

do what u/Buffalox said, stop using chrome and chromium-based browsers.

AVA/NHI: asshole vs asshole, no humans involved.

No matter who wins here, everyone loses

It’s cute how these memes act like weekends are a thing.

Google will cancel the project in 18 months. AT&T will take over google’s part of it and promise never to raise rates but then they’ll add a new kind of fee every 2-3 months until you’re basically buying them a new satellite every month.

If you’re in the USA or Canada, schedules direct works very well, or at least it used to. I haven’t messed with it in years.

I have a friend who always downloads the smallest (by file size) copy of any video he can find. He has a 75" 4k TV, 5.1 surround speakers, the whole setup but he downloads 720p in stereo almost exclusively. He says he just doesn’t care about the video or audio quality. It blows my mind, but some people are just weird.

Edit: Also, Paul is just a funny movie, if you’re into goofy movie references.

I use flauncher. It’s ugly and doesn’t have a lot of features but I don’t care. I only have two apps installed, so I’m rarely looking at or using the launcher anyway.

Nvidia Shield Pro with the default launcher disabled & replaced, Plex server. I’m pulling the unused apple TV out of the media setup this week.

That’s odd… on my TV there are no youtube ads, and no sponsor messages.

Hopefully the coming Kessler syndrome will be short-lived and confined to vleo

This is what I’m using. It’s kinda ugly but totally ad-free and does what I want but not one bit more. I installed flauncher, connected to the shield with network adb, disabled the leanback launcher, then hit the home button on the remote. Easy peasy, and much better than remapping buttons IMO

After ublock origin, this is my favorite extension. Redirecting youtube to freetube is the greatest thing ever

Honestly, for running jellyfin/emby/plex, there’s nothing better. The only thing an update might get you would be higher refresh rates or maybe 8k support, but for watching video, who cares?

Once I disabled the built-in “leanback” launcher with its fucking toxic ads and replaced it with flauncher, it’s been essentially perfect for watching media. flauncher is fugly as hell but it stays out of my face, unlike google’s ad-focused launcher.

My knowledge of docker probably rates around 3/10, but I suspect your containers aren’t sharing a network, so their definition of localhost is different.

I really hate reportage like this. Every government, even seemingly incompetent ones like the current crop in the UK, have hundreds or thousands of contingency plans for things of wildly varying likelihood. This is just one of those things.

This is just as informative as those articles that say eating sugar triggers the same receptors as cocaine. Yes it’s true, but there aren’t that many reward mechanisms in the brain, so a lot of shit hits those same receptors.

It’s data and it’s true, but it’s not useful information.
