I love pihole, and it helps somewhat with the horrible TV software and streaming STBs, but I have bumped up against the dns ad blocking causing issues with services being able to stream at all.

Still worth the occasional aggravations, though.

You had to be a complete moron to not to see that coming.

They successfully destroyed the television market, and now they want everything else. Eventually there won’t be any non-shitty options for anything that runs on electricity.

I might be interested if these were open devices, and not part of yet another walled garden. Especially not one managed by Meta.

Yes they have. At great length. For months.

It’s a mix of going towards his presidential library, free legal work, and large sums to the US Treasury general account, where congress controls how it’s spent.

If you read it, then you saw that putting “incorrectly” in the headline wouldn’t have been strictly true.

We can ask for journalistic integrity or for every headline to achieve specific rhetorical goals. Not both.

Yeah, wrong photo. Which is weird… the actual article has had an appropriate one since at least yesterday.

Like 95% of everything they produce is about US politics, and you’re mad that the last 5% isn’t?

Absolutely. I’m tired of finding that a replacement for a crappy pcb in an appliance costs 2/3 of the price of a new machine. That shouldn’t even be possible.

Yep. And a TV that has all the latest technology, only *without* all the trashy adware and spyware built in, or ota firmware updates that remove features and brick devices.

How often do they do these? I have a cable coming and I don’t think it’s going to get here in time.

@proton.me Is there a good way to move a large number of emails found in a search result into a folder, using the web UI? Doing Select All -> Move to Folder -> Repeat, on a large number of search results feels like I'm doing it wrong.
