Whilst this is nice. I’ve had a color ebook reader for maybe four years. It’s not a new technology.

How?

Irc was never searchable, but that was never an issue before.

This “no mans land” you speak of is probably 99.999% of home assistant users. Managing docker is not something that most people want to do or know about.

At the very least I don’t feel like I need more out of Firefox than it has today. If it all goes to shit, then a free Firefox Ala chromium would do fine.

I just want it to be on par with the Roku or it’ll wind up in the trash heap

in the nicest way possible. lower your expectations. or accept the data-selling, or VPN through europe so you can deny the ads.

Look for air mouse. It’s basically a wiimote. Uses gyroscope to pretend to be a pointer device. You’ll need that because you’re basically going to need to use a web browser if you want to go down this path.

It’s not a nice experience but all the nice experiences you won’t like.

I’m making a point, I’m not actually asking you to answer those questions…

what benefits do you get from that painting being blue? what benefits do you get from eating an orange vs an banana? explain yourself.

It’s weird to ask “what the point of open sourcing this product”, do you ask what the point of keeping the source closed is?

20 hours of playback. Not 20 hours of idle.

That’s a lot of work to avoid just donating money tbh, buy the merch for you, donate to support

For the way modern stuff works, it does. If you want notifications that don’t chew through battery life on Android or notifications at all on iOS, then it needs to go through the respective notification services.

We /could/ design ways that this wouldn’t be an issue and entirely local push notifications could be a thing. But it’s not how your devices work today.

it’s not illegal to put account deletion behind a login at all. Its also legal for them to request identification.

However if you request data deletion and they have no valid exception to avoid doing that they must comply, it doesn’t matter if they have a mechanism for deletion that you can use, they have to still delete the data even if you don’t press the “delete account” button.

you can file a complaint with your countries regulatory departments but if they refuse to press the delete account button for you, there’s not much else you can do outside of that.

They take advantage of viewer federation a lot, webrtc is used, so all the simulated browsers are sending the video to each other rather than hitting their server. So their setup is really just a part of the p2p swarm, like a single client in a bitorrent network. Doesn’t use anything fancy above that.

Honestly, it’s only a setup that’s gonna get far if you serve very few videos, and the P2P client rate is high. Their “real world” assumption of 50% of all clients being p2p enabled is way too high, and they couldn’t limit p2p bandwidth so all the clients were sending data to each other at lan speeds.

It’s interesting, but it needs to actually leave the simulation and enter real world load to know how things shake out.

You don’t have to, you don’t have to work up to the revelation that a society might be unjust. We all know and live that, we recognise what someone being disenfranchised in a world that apparently had fixes for the problem means.

Our tools today are absolutely up to the task. Of those deaths, how many of them do you think are in rich countries vs. the rest of the world.

Seventeen of the twenty-two countries that account for 80 percent of the world’s TB burden are classified as low income (GNP per capita of less than US$760, World Bank 2000). Within countries the prevalence of TB is higher among the poor, and other vulnerable groups such as the homeless. Studies in both high income and low-income countries (USA, United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, Vietnam, Mexico and Philippines) reveal significantly higher rates of TB in poor populations (Davies et al. 1999; Grange 1999; Barnes 1998; Tupasi et al. 2000).

The costs for people in low income countries are so high that often they are unattainable

TB patients and households in sub-Saharan Africa often incurred high costs when utilizing TB treatment and care, both within and outside of Directly Observed Therapy Short-course (DOTS) programs. For many households, TB treatment and care-related costs were considered to be catastrophic because the patient costs incurred commonly amounted to 10% or more of per capita incomes in the countries where the primary studies included in this review were conducted.

This helps the disease spread and fester in these countries. Whereas so called developed nations reap the benefit of something that does not need to be a problem for anyone.

Modern medical aid negates many diseases and disabilities including some blindnesses. But we still have people with these problems.

This is an opportunity for worldbuilding and comments about society. You’d be a fool to look at any fantasy setting and think it’s an equal society.

We have the ability to make Tuberculosis not exist and have for half a century. At least 1.6 million unnecessary deaths occurred because of it in 2022. Anyone who can’t think further than the first point has the thought capabilities of a gnat.

Safety features nessaseraly demand open and auditable by third parties.

We need to be able to ensure that abusers aren’t hopping around companies abusing passengers or drivers, for example. It’s hard to do that with complete privacy.

It’s one of the cases where strong regulations so third parties can’t do things with your data is important, but also sharing that data to protect yourself and others more vulnerable than you is important.
