They are behaving as an extension of this anti-democratic, crime & coverup administration, and should be treated as such.

- Comment on Vienna would need about 150 km² of solar panels to produce enough electricity 4 weeks ago:
Megawatt is a rate of energy use/production whereas megawatt hour is an amount used/produced (in an hour). A continuous use of 11MW sure seems like a lot for a household though.

Yes, even if you are using it you are not the owner and do not control it; any corporate laptop is an untrusted device at home.

- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 1 month ago:
I have two AppleTVs and while they are great at what they do, I won’t buy another. The reason is that they are still locked down to what Apple allows you to do. Want to watch YouTube? Your only realistic option is Google’s app, complete with ads. If you connect a real computer to the TV, you have significantly more control over what’s going on, but you may lose some of the convenience of a dedicated TV device. Hopefully with things like the GabeCube, more Linux OSes will be dedicated to big screen TV use.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 1 month ago:
Plus the point is that you can replace the AppleTV with mostly whatever you like (some CEC functionality notwithstanding), and don’t use the TV’s own OS or apps for anything.

If you’re not yet on I2P, start with https://geti2p.net and then set up an I2P router.
Once you’re on I2P, personally I use notbob.i2p to see what’s up. - Comment on It will be great, they said... 1 month ago:
I haven’t stumbled upon much sketchy stuff, you’d need to know where it is and discovery is still fairly manual though indexing services exist. Of course you need to find those services in the first place…
Anonymity is more of a focus than 90s internet, so it’s hard to tell who anyone really is but you’re probably right. There are active Russian and Iranian dissident text forums though.
However, for me, it’s the people just hosting personal websites e.g., a darkwave radio site, or a cryptography blog. Obviously the barrier to entry means it leans fairly techy.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 month ago:
I doubt you’d get far even trying to carry a suitcase full of gold.
- Comment on It will be great, they said... 1 month ago:
Correct. Come to I2P and experience 90s internet again. It’s slow but has character, if by character you understand I mean anonymous Geocities.
