That’s dangerous. Look at what Fox is doing, as an entertainment company, to US politics across the country.
- Comment on Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 2 months ago:
If they advertise, then the OS needs to be free. I’m not paying for an OS that profits off me too.

SmartTube on the shield. Prosper.
- Comment on Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse. 2 months ago:
Pi-hole is super easy. Literally just install it, and set your dhcp on your router to push out that IP as your dns server. Configure pi-hole to use an upstream dns server.
There’s a bunch of launchers out there. I did mine a whole back and used Wolf launcher, but later found out it was a “hacked” version of some other paid launcher. I used launcher manager to “enable” it on boot. Right out of the box, it has all apps and no ads. I suspect any launcher you go with will be similar.

Pi-hole, nvidia shield, custom launcher = less ads for the whole family

Remember when reddit used to have great AMAs to look forward to? Or when askreddit wasn’t all sex questions from 13 year old kids? Or when wtf was actually wtf content? Ah the good old days.

That’s part of the enshitifcation process.
- Comment on Google lays off hundreds of 'Core' employees, moves some positions to India and Mexico 6 months ago:
Ceo pay is advertised and used against each other to get top dollar. Lowers like us have out pay hidden so companies can low ball without us knowing. That’s what needs to change. It should be law to be advertised pay rate so the lowballers get exposed and no one applies, forcing pay to go up.
- Comment on Capitalists hate competition, especially when it comes to wages 6 months ago:
My current job, I asked what the pay was, they said 'you tell us what it should pay".
So I asked what the range was, and they said “thats not how this works, you tell us what you want” so I said a highlight number for me at the time. They’re like “ok, that works”.
Turns out I make 40% less than all my co workers because I didn’t know what the range was commonly for this role. Theor game let me lowball myself. It’s completely BS.
- Comment on Google lays off hundreds of 'Core' employees, moves some positions to India and Mexico 6 months ago:
This always comes down to the fact that labor is competitive. Why pay someone $200k/yeae when someone will do the job for $80k/year? Competition drives the prices of labor down. Maybe there needs to be better regulation for labor competition like corporations enjoy.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App 6 months ago:
These products male no sense on the age of smart phones. They will end up just being an app we download or free features of our phones at some point.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 6 months ago:
Are you telling me the swotch 2 is literally the same and switch 2 games will be switch compatible 1?
Or will they simply release switch games for both consoles, like ps4 and ps5 releases?
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 6 months ago:
Yep, just like the ps5 was just an upgrade and plays all ps4 games.
- Comment on FCC fines big three carriers $196M for selling users’ real-time location data 6 months ago:
Just the cost of doing business. I bet they made more on the sale.
- Comment on Who tf 6 months ago:
Or this version
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 6 months ago:
I personally would by a ps6 in a heartbeat, and likely the switch 2. I’ve bought an Xbox one which I sold after the dust on it got too much, and a series x whoch also never gets turned on. 2 gen burns in a row is enough for me to exclude it from my console purchase next gen.
- Comment on Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained 6 months ago:
I didn’t open the video. Was it one of those videos that talk in circles about what they’re “going” to talk about in the video, then they keep saying it in different ways?
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 6 months ago:
You could try a shield instead. It doesn’t push ads that way.
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 6 months ago:
Roku is a terrible product. It’s cheap, and they have full control over every part of it and aren’t afraid to exploit it to users’ detriment. Like the recent user agreement changes that bricked TVs until you agreed.
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 6 months ago:
Again, it’s not about data being collected. It is about the algorithm that let’s them control what users see in their feeds.
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 6 months ago:
Lemmy users are just going to believe whatever they want to believe, instead of actually checking the facts.
It’s 100% about privacy. Data collection, and algorithm manipulation to sway what users see in the interest of the Cinese government. If users think Russian interference is a problem, we’ll this amounts to the same thing.
