If you need to watch content on it get an appropriate device. If you want to watch BluRays buy a BluRay player. If you want to do streaming buy a streaming device at a price point and privacy level to your liking.

This is what we're currently doing. I unplugged tv from internet, and only use Roku stick or plex.

As to librelec and “sucking”. If you’re trying to do yo-ho stuff with free streaming sites and services it isn’t going to be great.

Yea I assumed the free services like Pluto, Tubi, even PBS stuff would work great. Not really...

Frankly if you want some quality and good experience either pay for a commercial streaming service (or a good IPTV one*)

It sounds cool but it also sounds like those would be totally jank. I did something like this years ago for watching hockey games, and is was ok..., but like you said it just disappeared one day.

Any tips for Libre+kodi? I just installed it on my pi and man it friggin sucks (and I'm a linux user used to things sucking). Can't get any streams to work correctly. I guess it would be great to play videos from my PC, but that was already working with plex...

Basically, just pirate everything and play it on kobi?

Everybody in this thread: "Instead of that, just do this incredibly complex techy thing and build up your own library with multiple PBs of stolen media"

I'd love to ditch my Roku stick (already unplugged LG tv from internet). I use plex for some stuff...

I probably will set up a raspberry pi but most people cannot do this

EDIT: just set up LibreELEC and tried a few streams ... this sucks lol.

As somebody with a ton of tattoos, they are stupid. I don't care.

Well actually this is Metra Electric, which terminates at Millennium Station not Olgilvie. 😎

.world accounts usually do. I've given up trying to argue with them. 🤷‍♀️

It's not like Lenin didn't write about this same thing 100 years ago...

Is it a good move for a DSA candidate to primary Bernie Sanders?

You're simply being pedantic.

"You bet your ass if Bernie continued Zionist takes that he will not have support of DSA (hell, he lost the support of his own staff, as I sourced). AOC lost her national endorsement for these exact reasons. Are we going to primary AOC and Bernie? Likely not; our efforts/money are better spent elsewhere."

literally entrenched in the comments

Replying to comments = "entrenched"?

You aren’t criticizing, you are attacking.

Agree to disagree.

It's not like I'm just making stuff up...

Why ml’s continue to attack the only hope of progressive leadership in the US is a mystery to me.

I'm a very active member of DSA. I help our electoral working group with cutting turfs and other needs. We've worked hard to get support for our endorsed candidates in the primary, and are currently still working hard for our endorsed candidate for the midterm. We've helped successfully flipped our county blue for the first time in 100 years. We've prevented fascists and christian maniacs from attacking and getting onto local school and library boards.

I've active in my community defense working group, getting my community training on firearms, first aid, gardening, getting people active in fitness and hiking. I'm active in our ICE watch group, I've protested at ICE buildings numerous times. I help make ICE whistle kits every week that we hand out to community members to help keep them safe. I'm active in our poll patrol group, which makes sure that our polls are kept safe and free from interference.

I'm active in our Child Watch program, allowing parents to attend events and be active without worry of care for their children. I'm active in our BDS campaign and our campaign against Surveillance Apparatus (data centers, FLOCK, etc). I help make maps for our team to canvass businesses put up flyers and info about ICE and KYR placards.

I attend pro-palestine car rallies and banner drops. I help marshall protests and events. I've literally fought with Proud Boys and other fascists.

I've marched with striking teachers and other union members. I've provided water, food, and monetary assistance to strikers.

I've onboarded many people into DSA. I table at Pride fests and personally got hundreds of people signed up for DSA and activated them.

What have you done to organize your community!? How dare you attack my dedication to progressing Socialism in my community.

Bernie is our only hope? The momentum of Socialism is not hinged on one single person. It is a mass movement. Bernie is not the sole arbiter of Socialism in the USA.

Do you think it’s a good move for DSA to primary Bernie Sanders? I hope not. Because that would be political suicide.

Comrade, the momentum of Socialism is not hinged on one single person. It is a mass movement. He's not even the best representation of what DSA/Socialism is. If an member or ally of DSA, certainly an elected, has policies or views that go against the platform of DSA and Socialism in general, we will act accordingly. We will not just mindlessly follow so-called Socialist members in congress if they have views/policies that go against our platform. I literally posted the codified resolution DSA made last summer to address things exactly such as this, albeit. While Bernie is not a DSA member, is he wants our help or endorsement, he must meet certain criteria.

If you’re analysis is not based on moves to make actual material change I don’t think you should call yourself an ML.

I repeat, Socialism is not hinged on one single person. It is a mass movement. We are making move across the country. Bernie is not the sole arbiter of Socialism in the USA.

All I want from you: “yeah, DSA trying to primary Bernie would be a really bad idea and cause confusion within the voting population. I was just pointing to him as an example of how much our momentum has moved left”

You bet your ass if Bernie continued Zionist takes that he will not have support of DSA (hell, he lost the support of his own staff, as I sourced). AOC lost her national endorsement for these exact reasons. Are we going to primary AOC and Bernie? Likely not; our efforts/money are better spent elsewhere.

If you are listening to people in DSA seriously consider trying to primary Bernie you are likely talking to a CIA op.

There is plenty of criticism of Bernie within DSA. It's not a CIA op lmfao, the guy literally almost lost his entire staff because he wouldn't support a ceasefire and refused to call it a genocide.

Ubisoft's first North American union, located at their Halifax, Nova Scotia studio, was certified on December 18th, 2025. Now, not even a full 30 days later, Ubisoft Halifax is closing.

Having played Alwa's Legacy first, I did not expect this ending! Great game, although I like the sequel better ☺️
