o One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

o The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

o One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

o The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

o Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

o People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

o Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

If you believe the above, you too can be a member of the TST!

Alternate RELIGION ( not “religion” ) give women a choice about their body after consulting with licensed medical professionals instead of depending on politicians to decide their choices for them.

Fix the titled for you.

Full disclosure my religion is the TST. Have a certificate and everything!

UNBELIEVABLE!

I’d enjoy and update log personally.

None. Don’t connect it to the internet. Get a PC and use the TV as a glorified monitor.

All I hear is

“Government bad! Government bad! Government bad!”.

<crisis that affects me> " WE NEED HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT".

All while all the other assholes that aren’t affected going “Government bad! Government bad! Government bad!”

And Vance and all the others making up stories and admitting to making up stories to help…just help someone else.

Truth is, it’s all a scam to begin with. So sounds like they’re nailing it.

Sounds like a 2000’s cell phone ringer.

Timing belt needs a good tightening is all.

Also, WHY should I trust Mozilla with this? I use Firefox because it’s the best alternative at the moment. However, Mozilla is degrading that trust by pushing their weather thing, pocket, turning on their ad network, etc.

Like a real reason I should trust Mozilla with this. Any company is 1 executive away from becoming Google levels of anti-privacy. So why would I EVER trust this?

First off, yes, the title of the post is misleading. Mozilla is creating a privacy focused ad system. However, I legit don’t get who this is for.

As a user, I’m not turning off my adblockers. Yes, privacy is important. I’m ok with some ads, but I’m not going to risk my privacy and security, because it’s not like I’ll have a clue who is backing said ads. So it’s not for me.

Normal users have shown that they really don’t care, let alone have any kind of clue what’s going on. So it’s not for them.

Advertisers have huge incentive to show you targeted ads. They don’t want to show someone an ad on the other side of the planet for something they don’t have access to. Also why would they want to show you an ad for something completely unrelated. What’s the incentive for them to give up their targeted ads?

It’s not like Mozilla is poising themselves for any kind of government oversight. I’m in the US, and the US gov doesn’t seem to give a shit. And the EU, while they have GDPR and they’re fining companies left and right, it doesn’t seem like they’re really targeting these kinds of ads. Outside of those two I don’t know anything about other countries honestly.

So again, I have zero clue who this is for or why Mozilla thinks this will be successful. There’s no incentive or knowledge that this is needed.

I use Firefox. I run Linux. I’m not trying to bash Mozilla here. I’m not trying to be a naysayer. I’m just trying to understand what kind of real world use case this solves and incentivizes users and advertises to use it over the alternatives.

It was a live stream I was doing with Owncast. Definitely enjoying it. Thank you!

Welp, I had no plans of buying Palworld. I’ve been playing Enshrouded instead. But I’ll be picking it up now. Screw you Nintendo and your anticompetitive ways.

15 years ago I got a job where I wasn’t allowed to do anything. I hated it. I wanted to learn and be valuable and be valued. I left that job.

I worked for a bank and then Red Hat and I loved what I did and burned myself out trying to make them happy. Only to find out they still didn’t value me.

I switched jobs two years ago and increased my pay 30% overnight and back to a job doing nothing. And I’m totally fine with it now. I have a family and I focus on them and during work, if they don’t have anything for me to do I make my own happiness.

Fuck corporations. I’ll take your money, I’ll never again kill myself as I’ll never be valued anyway. Jobs aren’t worth it. People are.

LOVE my Jellyfin.

Buy a good inexpensive TV. The manufacturer can make them cheap because they’re losing money and hoping to gain it back with ads and analytics. Don’t connect it to the internet. Get a Steam deck or small form factor PC (Intel NUC or variant) install Linux, profit.

I’ve bought a few small form factor PCs, and again Steam Deck works great, for $300 and then a great TV. And I don’t have to put up with any ads, any crap applications that barely work, it’s just browsing ANY website I want, playing ANY PC game I want. It’s honestly the best outcome and I’ll never go back at this point.

Don’t let yourself accept the subpar TV applications that are just a website with awful frontends, that run like shit and that the companies creating these apps have 0 incentive to make properly because their app isn’t there for a good experience. It’s there to track you, just like the TV.

PC Gamer is giving it a 60/100:

I’m weirdly on board with this and I think my kids will love it.

I’m not the developer, but I can pass it on if you’d like. :-D The dev reads the Steam Forums and has a Discord as well. I think it should work with Steamdeck and the touch pads, but I’m guessing the menus are going to be SUPER small and probably quite difficult to see, though I haven’t tested on my Steamdeck.
