Filebot, I like and use the app but it shouldn't be a subscription. You can buy a lifetime license for $48 but it's too expensive for what it is.

As a counter point, I'm against defederation of other instances on kbin and would prefer most moderation to take place on an individual level.

I don't care to follow The_Donald, but I'd rather choose what communities I can participate in than have an instance decide for me.

They do, it's called SteamVR and it's good.

First off I'd recommend investing in Real-Debrid, it's a service that caches torrents for streaming and costs about $3 per month. It's required for most of these apps, or at least highly recommended.

Streamio + Torrentio has already been mentioned, Syncler is really good and easy to use, many extra features with Syncler+ but it's not required.

Kodi with addons works really well, but requires some tinkering to get started and basic maintenance / troubleshooting if something goes wrong. Check out old.reddit.com/r/addons4kodi some good addons are Fen, Seren and Umbrella but there are many others, Otaku is good for anime.

Just posted this in another thread, it's not implemented yet but TubeArchivist has a podcast mode on their roadmap: https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist

Sceptre still makes dumb TVs at a reasonable price.

Regardless of your opinion of RFK Jr, censorship has no place in a free society. I'm not comfortable with Google and other megacorps being the arbiters of truth.

The closest thing is LTSC, it still has some telemetry but less than the main version. They haven't released LTSC for Windows 11 yet though.

That and the bouncing icons when an app is loading... always thought that looked tacky.

Yeah, Wolfenstein 3d and DOOM were great but Duke 3D was some next level shit. Being able to take a leak at the urinal was so cool.

I agree that government shouldn't dictate what a company can or must host on their platform. I'm still going to criticize a company or platform that silences opposing viewpoints. That's why I think we should be ditching these giant tech companies for decentralized platforms where the user decides what they want to see and engage with.

I'd rather leave moderation to a user or local community. I'm not super familiar with 4chan, but I don't think there's a way to filter content on an individual or community basis, so I'd say no.

I'm not aware of any US law that says speech becomes illegal if it has "more potential to harm", that seems very subjective and open to exploitation. As for any type of "disinfo", I don't want a tech monopoly deciding that for me, which is why I use and recommend decentralized alternatives instead.

Yelling fire in a theater isn't actually illegal, contrary to common belief. It's a flawed paraphrasing of a 1969 Supreme Court ruling, Brandenburg v. Ohio, which held that speech which would be likely to incite imminent lawless action, such as a riot, is not protected under the First Amendment. Now if someone was injured due to a stampede they could and should be held liable, but the speech itself is not illegal.

To your second example, if some idiot started shooting because someone yelled "gun" or "bomb" they would be charged with murder / manslaughter, or at the very least reckless use of a firearm, and lose their right to carry.

I'm not opposed to removing videos that advocate violence, but I don't think this video falls under that category.

Who's laughing now?

yt-dlg works well for me: https://yt-dlg.github.io/yt-dlg/

Ditch the Roku and get another Shield or other Android TV device.

BuyVM has some reasonably priced servers available.

Odysee / LBRY is another decentralized Youtube alternative.

The more the merrier, but I'll only use open source apps on my device.

Which ones do you think are bad recommendations?

I've been on Debian for about 10 years now. I know there's plenty of other great distros, but now I want one that's stable and just works.

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing on some other communities.

How much of a discount are they offering?

It's not implemented yet, but tubearchivist https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist has a podcast mode on their roadmap which I've been keeping an eye on.

That's why I'll probably drive older cars the rest of my life.

ISIS probably isn't the best example, because promoting terrorism and advocating violence isn't protected free speech. Regardless, I don't think this would apply to a politician making a general statement like this, but government agencies working behind closed doors to suppress legal content.

Oh man, Silent Hill 2 and 3 are some of my favorite games, the atmosphere is just perfect. I started playing Resident Evil 7 in VR and the part at the very beginning where you go down into the basement and I just noped out and haven't tried it since. Will probably give it another go eventually...

Title is a bit disingenuous, the ruling actually says they are prohibited

from even talking to social media companies with “the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.”

Government should not be cohering social media companies to silence speech, this seems fine to me.
