If I buy family size I will inevitably end up being bored one day and binging that shit. Didn't used to be like this though.

I'd definitely engage if one existed... maybe someone could try starting one up?

It actually seems like one of these or a raspberry pi running Kodi might be exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!

My TV is a dumb TV (for lack of a better name). It does have a USB port, but it only displays photos and can't play external footage. I keep all of my downloaded media on an external HDD. I did look into the whole XBMC aka Kodi / jellyfin combo stuff for a bit.

user customisability. online profiles were awesome until like 2013 where it all became plain black or white backgrounds with a banner. you could have custom backgrounds or even entirely custom CSS in a lot of websites. I really love the theme my instance uses because a lot of Lemmy instance themes are plain and dull too, just default black or white with no creativity, unlike db0 with the crazy outer space and fire and shit. makes it feel more human.

I'm honestly surprised so many people are for it. I detest tiktok, but what precedent does it set when we start restricting the freedom to access the open internet just like those so-called adversary countries do. If it gets removed from the app stores and that's it, then yeah whatever I guess. but if we end up like China and post 2022 Russia where we are blocking connection access to a worldwide foreign service entirely only because we don't like not being in control of the data, then we've already lost as the public. Combine this with the potentialities of project 2025 or whatever and then look at that, now we're the exact same as them.

If the government were doing this for anything other than a power move with theatrics, Instagram and Twitter etc would be cracked down hard too.

I have iOS 15.4 and I have a default browser that isn't Safari. This is more in reference to a new popup on first time bootup that asks you to pick a browser. You could pick a default one before this, you just had to go download it first like on a computer.

Damn, even some low-key projects like iVanced were hit. I doubt this spells the end of third party apps but they'll probably go the way of being distributed on various russian download forums or telegram instead.

I've supported mullvad and I also try to support my Lemmy instance where I can.
