Give the inventor of modern digital lootboxes and the “license don’t own” paradigm the opportunity to put a chip in my brain? Pass

I assume being Apple that it’s not possible to sideload apps not supported on the app store? In particular I’d like to use some kind of a SmartTube or other youtube app that is ad free

Is there any point in getting anything above the bottom tier Shield? Just trying to use it to replace my chromecast/stream tv and youtube

God this is such a tired and lazy narrative. We just got out of one of the most effective administrations the world has seen and you’re still pulling this bullshit. Biden managed to steer us out of a global pandemic and avoid a recession everyone was actively rooting for while managing inflation to lower rates than any other nation globally. Without legislative control, he managed to pass two major domestic investments including one investing billionsin high tech manufacturing. He canceled billions in student loan debt, had the strongest FTC we’ve seen in decades that started up antitrust for the first time in a century, and effectively halted a geopolitical enemy without losing a single American soldier. You want to call that all symbolic? Democrats are the definition of “if you do things right, they’ll think you’ve done nothing at all” and we’re currently seeing all the things they’ve done disappear in front of our eyes.

It’s easy clickbait to get mad at Democrats for failing to be sufficiently symbolic.

Telling people not to vote apparently

I mean that is why the new reddit page is so less information dense and image-heavy. The app also implemented swiping to get you to mindlessly scroll through memes, often into algorithm-recommended subs you’re not even subscribed to. It’s all an attempt to move the average content toward low-barrier slop thats easy to consume and pad their engagement numbers.

You need an android TV or an android box similar to a Roku to use that? Not super familiar. Any recommendations to be compatible with my current non-smart TV?

Still need a good strategy for blocking ads on my TV. Mostly watching YouTube through a Chromecast so I can control it from my phone

Ah my mistake, they didn’t praise the fascist - just the fascist party. Big difference.

Unsurprising that a right-wing Trump supporting company is now attacking a tech that poses an existential threat to the fascist-leaning tech companies that are all in on AI.

Okay but then what was the alternate winning strategy? The whole world was undergoing massive inflation, the US actually did better than basically every other country. There’s no way to turn around a global pandemic followed by unprecedentrd global inflation in short order. Egg prices went up because of avian flu and culling but no one wants to hear that. What could democrats have run on instead?

Everyone complains about poor Democratic messaging but when are we going to admit that as long as Republicans own all major media platforms, any messaging by Democrats is going to be distorted into nonsense by the media?

How did you go from “foreign influence operations” to “US companies manipulating people”

That’s hard when people smarter than you are being paid billions to study and test exactly how to keep you addicted to their media platform. And if that doesn’t work, they’ll just buy your preferred media platform and devolve it themselves.

So immigrants all have to be renters? I don’t know the wait times in Spain, but in the US, it can take 20 years to become a citizen despite being on long-term visa or already a permanent resident. Meanwhile, citizens are allowed to engage in exploitation freely?

Damn didn’t know the US Government owned Facebook.

The US government isn’t in charge of one of the largest social media platforms in the world. US corporations are absolutely doing this as well, but that’s an argument for more regulation not to grant China free reign

Bad take. We’re in the modern world of information warfare: expecting every citizen to be immune to psychological trickery from a nation spending tens of billions to research and test ways to trick them is unrealistic and unreasonable. There’s people with PhDs in human psychology spending their entire time and untold amounts of compute power trying to stoke the flames of division and push misinformation and you think we should allow it?
