The "You get what you pay for" excuse doesn't hold up. My 77-inch LG OLED cost over $3k USD. It's still full of ads and spies on me unless i neuter it.

Branch out to another long-running show like Doctor Who.

In every community, there is always another power-hungry asshole ready to jump on the opportunity to have a tiny bit of control over somebody else.

Mods not modding is nothing new to reddit. The only impact they would feel is if users stopped posting. I don't see that happening though.

A company I worked for a decade ago used Greek and Norse gods to name our servers. There was Odin and Thor, Zeus and Dionysius, etc. Having been a huge fan of Stargate SG-1, I kept suggesting various Goa'uld names, and one made it through - Chronos.

That's as close to mythology as I got.

I, for one, thank the German government for introducing me to a new site.

I'm in the opposite camp - never answer calls from area codes same as mine. Scammers now target numbers with same area code as the one they're spoofing. If also the first 3 digits after the area code match too, that's an even higher chance of a scam.

I would like to see these publishers take on OpenAI, Midjourney and others, who basically said that copyright laws should not apply to them because AI would be "impossible" without them having free access to everything.

you can be certain that these publishers don’t know that you exist

I think it's better this way.

 

I recently got clued into the fact that you can enable side-loading on Roku devices. However, I have no idea where to get the apps for it. Since Rokus don't run Android, I can't install APKs like I did on my Nvidia Shield TV. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
