Yeah. People have been surprised many times when my patience finally runs out. :) Sounds like the same for you.

Yeah its a touch display that allows the user to set temperature and other settings, and its showing the current temperature inside. But unfortunately i think it has broke. The freezer still runs but I cant change any settings now. One day I will try to unpower it but im afraid to do it. :) Who knows if it will start…

I feel the same, but I just have a nas for my movies so I can enjoy them forever. Most of the current new movies are full of bullshit so I also mostly watch older movies where humanity still exists. You have to start gathering movies like this on physical media or they just will be gone whenever the streaming service wants them to.

I run Linux so I dont need to update my computer.

I dont have Facebook or Instagram.

I use Freetube app on my computer instead of YouTube so I dont have to see shorts, or ads for that matter.

I use Newpipe on my phone for the same reason.

So you can do some things to stay away from bullshit.

I have learned to never update any tv or media player, it usually becomes worse. :)

It may be possible to factory reset to the version you got from the beginning. Just have to figure out how.

I have a freezer from them, it has worked well. Took a chance on the brand. But now it seems the display has broke after 3 years only… Hmm.

Yeah people think its confidence to act like shit in public.

Yeah. I used to go to the cinema often as a kid but people were quiet so there was never any problems enjoying the movie.

And it was before mobile phones.

Not going to cinema means saving lots of emotional pain created by the actual cinema experience:

• Ads

• More Ads

• Trailers

• 20 minutes of that shit (despite paying for the movie!), movie finally starts. Now this happens:

• People talking during movies

• People watching phone during movie

• People eating candy (loudly) during movie

On top of this, what are the odds the movie will be good? I think ive been disappointed by almost every movie this year, so thank god i didnt watch them in a cinema.

Wouldnt that mean that users would also have to use tor? Thats not going to happen…

The waste profit is unreal.

I watched a very, very good video about this tonight actually. You may think its shit, since it requires kind of a belief in more than what ordinary people see in the system.

Just posting in case you appreciate it. Who knows.

Well, I dont want to lie for a salary, so im also bad at marketing.

Happens to me too. Specially in movies, a lot of things seem evil now.

Just guessing here but maybe implement support for some kind of dystopian cookie that all visitors need to have in their browser…

They have an instance that doesnt federate with Lemmy.world i think. It works well for them. On my instance I see them sometimes since we federate with everyone.

Probably bots.

Ok, I removed my initial comment about liking it. It was before I understood the real reasons for it.

Its easy to fall victim to this actually. A change in society seems good on the surface, until you get why they are doing it.

Because evil runs these people. Its actually that simple. When these guys speak, its easy to hear they are evil, because of how they speak.

And they know other people are good, so they wont immediately agree with a dystopian society. So you take small steps, where each one looks good on the surface to the billions of people who only hear about this for 5 seconds on the news.

Yes of course. I meant that they are part of the social media thing, and they may also be required to implement age verification if things become bad.

America is already deciding almost everything about the internet, through owning the operating systems, the networks, big tech companies, Ai, and so on.

They could make a law that forces all major american websites to require a global auth cookie, that people can only get by doing age verification at some site.
