Yeah, smart TV, never connect it to the 'net, get a used shield pro, ADB and side load F Launcher. No ads.

Shelds remote can control the TV volume and its connected via HDMI and the Shiekd Pro remote switches both off and on. I use Kodi, Prime, Smart Tube Next and a couple local TV apps.

Not what u want but that's where I am and it works well.

Be interested to see the responses

Thats a dark road to tread.

An example,

no alchol consumption is safe, so using your line of thinking you'd need to argue that anyone who partakes of alcohol at any anytime would fall under that line of thinking

Processed red meats simailary, especially those treated with nitrites, so those eating bacon, ham etc shouldn't be entitled to public heath care under your reasoning

Or are those things ok becase you do them ?

On the upside, now you've excluded 95% of the population, public healthcare will be cheap :)

Contra to most peoples thinking, if you're concerned about public healthcare costs, you should "encourage" obesiety and smoking, they all die early, most health care coats are associated with healthy people in their old age. See here

Adults are stupid and greedy, we all are.

This is the most depressing thread I've read for some time.

It's horrific to read some of the posts twisting bad news and making out as though it's good news. It's like the posters are watching children in a sandpit playing, ignoring the monster flood thats about to wash them away but taking joy in their play. Wtf?

Professor Boyd is right https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/07/un-expert-human-rights-climate-crisis-economy

Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says ‘there’s something wrong with our brains that we can’t understand how grave this is’

And after reading this thread, i am even more sure Rees is

https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/06/14/opinion/science-civilization-collapse-environment-limits

Rees bluntly states, “the human enterprise is effectively subsuming the ecosphere” and “wide-spread societal collapse cannot be averted — collapse is not a problem to be solved, but rather the final stage of a cycle to be endured.”

You both use Signal, problem solved.

I've never even browed the local feed on the Masro server I'm on.

Just pick a non mainstream one that has been around for a bit ?

I use Fedilab, Megalodon and Rodent.

Neither firi trains.

We solved this a loooong time ago, put some wires up ffs.

Thanks for that I have been considering a foldable and the creaae doesn't worry me but how's the durability ?

Southern Hemisphere is a big place, I'm at 10C here in Tasmania where I live , in the middle of the day, a long way from scorching.

It would be nice if they used more specific language then "southern hemisphere", which includes Antarctica.

Most of the growing US population centres are in places that are at the forefront of unsustainablity and climate change danger.

For the vast majorty, there's just a complete lack of giving a fuck & zero real interest but just assuming things will be alright, no matter the evidence.

Another example, water issues and heat issues and it's the second fastest growing place in the US. On another note, creating wealth is a proxy for destroying the biosphere and making an unlivable planet.

KYLE, Texas—People and businesses have flooded into Kyle, Texas, since the pandemic, making it the second-fastest-growing city in the U.S. The influx is creating wealth but also contributing to a big problem: Kyle is getting hotter and running low on water

But climate change can make living here brutal. Underground, the aquifer that Kyle relied on is shrinking. The city for three years now has had to buy water rights from nearby San Marcos to satisfy its growing population. Temperatures hit nearly 100 degrees before this summer even started, and drought conditions persist. People wear neck fans, limit outdoor time to early morning and nighttime, and keep their children inside.

And here

No sane person would choose to move to Vegas. The heat and lack of water are ridiculous and it's nothing but a giant monument to human stupidity and hubris... Yet here we are.

Well most voters are entitled asshole that think a few solar panels and ecars is as much as can be expected and another bunch who think it's all bullshit anyway.

That's the vast majority. They Vote for the politcans who reflect that and its also why the Greens dont get enough votes to make substantive policy changes.

I'm 58, child free and have many such interaction multiple times.

Perhaps the other way around you don't but other people with kids sometimes do.

Weird way to defend your own ignorance ?

I've been riding motorcycles on roads for 40 years, as long as I have many other riders have referred to car drivers as cagers, and cars as cages. I don't use the terms but to infer its some new set of elite words becase you haven't heard it before is bizzare.

Open a dictionary, there will be many 1000s of words that are new to you.

Non car users are punching up, the world and its peoples are being destroyed and dominated by inappropriate car use.
