“it just offset the emissions to the powerplant”

which is, of course, actually better than tailpipe emissions all over town.

which is bullshit, of course. we couldn't possibly all fill up with gasoline at the same time, either.

and many would be charging cars overnight at home on ordinary 220-240v, when electric demand is lowest. you can't fill up a gas tank at home.

needing a google account

no ty. i'd rather use a pc-based device even if it means my 'remote control' is a wireless mini-keyboard with trackpad.

haven't had mine connected for a few months but my dietpi with the free adguard home (like pihole) was working great to block the ads on the ui and in a lot of the programming in the 'free' apps.

roku was pretty much the only viable 'alternative' to the big companies and studios. didn't even need a credit card (nocc link) or to reveal personal details other than an email for an account (for the devices)-could watch free stuff without a login with the browser. if you did pay for stuff, you can sub to several other services through roku (kinda like how prime does it).

fox was actually forced to sell its stake in roku when it bought tubi a few years ago. that should be enough right there to say fu go away, but ofc this admin will conveniently ignore that fact and give roku and its ~ 150 million screens to the propaganda machine that is fox.

i have a number of clients who are locked out of a valid account, while knowing the correct password, having the correct sms capable phone number, having the correct email. these are grandma types who've never posted anything more offensive than cat pictures and knitting memes. some haven't even been able to make a new account, either. facebook support is literally non-existent unless you're a 'high profile' person.

yea. there used to be two full doors or more in the freezer for just frozen concentrated juices. now there's one little tiny shelf and all the variety is gone.

there's more profit in "premium" refrigerated "ready to drink" product.

you can actually still do that! enable the desktop icon for 'computer' in settings->personalisation->themes->desktop icon settings, then go to that icon on the desktop and right click it and rename. although i have gotten used to win11's 'user files' one with quick access and recent and use that one instead---when it works, anyway (right now it is not)
