I don’t really have an alternative, just trying to give my perspective on the issue.

Career Audio engineer chiming in here. I would say it’s a combination of the lack of LUFS regulation and improper mixes. IMHO dialogue clarity should be prioritized more than it currently is, or at the very least we should use the center channel in surround sound formats exclusively for dialog to make it easier to adjust(via software and/or or av receivers), at least more than we currently do. Also modern TV shows are often mixed with a high dynamic range like a movie would be(which relates to LUFS levels), kind of silly and also IMHO bad mixing practice as most of your viewers don’t have high end home theatres.

Kick their ass Japan! Don’t go easy on them, make them stop their bullshit INTERNATIONALLY if they want their sanctions removed!

Couldn’t you get around this by making the “apps” in bigscreen be browser shortcuts to their respective streaming website?

Probably a security update to try and keep it from being part of a botnet maybe? What would work better though is never connecting it to a network or even better, just don’t make it smart for no dam reason, lol.

I pay for mine with vouchers, just as convenient as a credit card as long as you renew ahead of time, and just as anonymous as cash.

Wish I could buy them somewhere other than amazon though.

Your point is so important that I don’t think it can be stressed enough.

Nonviolent protests are more popular in public opinion. Public opinion gets you more people on your side. More people on your side is more power, and when the regime starts cracking down on peaceful protests, it will be easier to get more people to fight than it would be of we advocate for violence from the start.

Have them play cgp Grey and kurgzkazat videos and the world will become a better place.

if you self host, or if you can find an instance your trust, searxng is great imho.

pft. not even a bean cooled gpu!

何?!?!?

1, 2, and/or 5 depending on the type of food i’m eating.

I self host most of my digital life but I will never host my own email or PW manager for the simple reason that if I screw up either than I could lock myself out of my ENTIRE digital life.

Also, since email is only as private/secure as the weakest user in the conversation, it seems to me like I would get a very minimal privacy gain from doing so, not worth the risk for normal everyday usage IMHO.

If I really need to communicate securely with someone there’s better options out there than email anyways.

A fair point, but it’s better than proton or especially gmail and other traditional email providers. Do you have a better alternative to suggest?

I switched to tutanota for email and mullvad for VPN as soon as they came out as pro-trump.

If you don’t mind waiting a while for whatever it is you’re buying, ali-express isn’t too bad. If you’re near a city and it’s not too specialized of a thing you need you can probably find it at a a brick and mortar store.

This man is a hero, everyone spewing hate at him needs to take a long hard look at their life.

Couldn’t you use immich for this?
