Look, he’s a left neo-lib, but within those parameters he’s pretty decent. On immigration too. And even if you don’t like him, you have no choice but to respect his gigantic brass balls

Fuck this guy so much. Nice to have it laid out so clearly what a scam the EU is though I guess

No chance. With the Tories though 🤔🤔🤔

Has to be remarked that they inherited this doctrine from the British. Westerners have been doing this exact same thing in the middle east since the invention of powered flight.

If champagne were available for all, nobody would want it

What do servers do

Unironically, National Streaming Service would be such a smart electoral pitch for a socialist party

Yeah you know I’m generally an artsy fartsy film connoisseur, but… I prefer Friday the 13th to Halloween 🤷

Unfashionable take, but this has been my experience with most of his output. It’s always technically impressive, especially on the budget, but… there’s just some sauce lacking somewhere imho

Shield TV is a very solid choice, can confirm. It’s great for 16bit emulation too

There was a brief golden age when all these services had web APIs so you could plumb them all into Kodi and have a unified experience. But yeah, these days you have to use a browser, watch in 1080, and find a way to make that into a user friendly, remote control experience. Also bear in mind that the streaming provider will change things just to fuck with you.

Alternatively, while Android TV is far from perfect, you do get the official streaming apps in their official form, and you can stream your pirated stuff on the side. I think it makes sense to separate downloading from your tv box anyway. Alternatively, I believe there are pretty good torrent streaming options these days that may be worth looking at.

In all seriousness, what is it with Anthropic and bad press recently. Just stop trying to make things, lads

No shade on the op, but the focus on the things the British stole kinda undermines the gravity of what they did. E.g. they didn’t just take your diamonds, they relocated your entire village to the diamond mine and forced your children to work down there. No shade as I say, it’s just you see British liberals come out with this stuff all the time, and there’s this undertone of “weren’t we naughty tee hee”

So the main problem with a Linux TV box these days is that you can’t get a decent experience with legit streaming services thanks to hardware DRM. So the best thing to do really is to have a Linux server (any mini PC will do), and to stream from that to the Android TV box via Jellyfin. I would recommend using Proxmox, as you can have Jellyfin, your downloaders, a nextcloud instance if you like, all in their own containers with a nice web UI to manage them.

Just to play devil’s advocate here (because I am genuinely hopeful about Chinese leadership on renewables) but I see several ‘peaks’ on that chart

Yeah she comes across as a genuinely thoughtful person imo. She even guested on The Partially Examined Life years back

It’s really kind of incredible how effectively we’ve all convinced ourselves that colonized peoples were basically cavemen. Egypt was importing cinnamon from Sri Lanka as early as 2000BC. Why wouldn’t there be cross-continental trade in the Americas?

Oh no, as an anti-carceral leftist I must side with pedophiles on this one

I mean I do kind of agree, but the elephant in the room wrt Brexit is that the effects of immigration were very unevenly felt — with certain communities, particularly those with a lot of agricultural laborers, affected quite negatively — and the only response anyone on the mainstream left had when xenophobes took advantage of the resultant discontent was, “shut up, peasant, it’s good for the economy”

Tbqh though the main thing preventing anything good from happening in Britain is that they haven’t begun to get their heads around what the British Empire was. They have to construct these insane fantasies, because the alternative is realizing that they’ve literally never had a proper economy outside of wringing the colonies dry and then spending the years since then selling off the silverware

Remembering the insane vitriol directed at Corbyn when he proposed planting trees Remembering the insane(ly racist) claim that Israel “made the desert bloom”
