we’re going to play right into it.

The alternative is to ... what? Just let ICE murder and kidnap our neighbors?

Went to both my and my partner's 10 year. Both sucked. Would never do it again.

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."

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.

 

Great game with Linux version on steam

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