Back in the day wed hook up old desktops straight to living room PCs. There was no apps so we'd just go to websites.

I'd be surprised if there isn't some kind of raspberry pi mini PC with a good guinerap around Linux.

Some people will use a PlayStation/Xbox as well.

I think my comment is more about privacy than ads

I agree ...

Everyone else was talking about one thing, and you acted like I was talking about a bunch of other things.

That's why you're confused, we were talking about ads, and you got upset we weren't having another discussion.

Now why are antelopes the super ungulates?

See how little sense that makes?

We're talking about ads (and maybe privacy) on TV's mate...

Yeah. I grew up on country and remember her first CMT music videos during my formative years.

Waaaay before she was famous, and all the teen drama songs were appropriate.

But she's had a death grip on that genre so long, her current competitors weren't even born when she released her first album. Legitimately, her first song released 19 years ago at 18, I checked.

That's like people say all the "versions" are just a cash grab, but it's more nefarious, for over a decade when a young female artists releases a big album for that demo, Taylor drops a new version to steal sales away from younger artists.

She's got a pure boomer mentality about it. She'll never try to bring the next generation on, she intentionally and consistently puts them down so she can maintain her position at the top of the pile.

There's zero indication she can grow as an artist, and more and more people are considering that sad.

Shes gonna go from the world's biggest start to a joke very fast, but it'll still take years to really start.

It's not even personal opinion, it's objective fact...

Amazon shoves ads on everyone of their products far and above any competitors.

Oh sweet summer child, Google is NOT going to be any better at this. That will just be changing one corporate evil for another.

The track record for people using that condescending phrase while not understanding what's happening continues...

The smart TVs operate on Android TV, made by Google.

Amazon uses their own version of Android, and that's where all the shitty stuff comes from.

I've got a nice name brand android TV, the only ads are "this movie is on streaming" or "this show premieres in a week".

I got a cheap Amazon TV in another room, in the same place for ads on the home screen, it has ads for random products

There is a marked difference. They are "better" at this. Obviously no one in 2025 thinks google is "good"

I'm convinced shit like paper straws is just to turn people against saving the planet.

The fucking straws aren't great, but the real problem has always been the oligarchs and corporations.

So they come up with stuff that won't help, but will get people pissed at climate activists.

Shit's so obvious but no one ever talks about it. It's the same principle as means testing, divide and conquer

Apparently she made an incredibly juvenile song about how big his dick is?

Like, not just a song about his dick and that is juvenile. But a song about him that sounds like a 7th grader wrote it.

A bad attempt at Sabrina Carpenter's whole deal.

So yeah, maybe you'll like at least one song on it...

It's crazy it took this long for people to get tired of a 40 year old billionaire singing teen love songs...

Every "good" album was after she broke up with a bf, because that the only relatable experience she has to her fans. Lots of people called that getting engaged/married would be the end of her career.

She simply has nothing in common with her fans anymore. But she's been a horrible person for decades, especially towards female singers who are younger than her. And now their fans are starting to realize who the problem always was.

Great...

Show companies that they don't need to fear bubble bursts, and they're make bigger bubbles.

We'd have been better off letting the 08 crash eat all the corporations. Instead we gave them the money they used to buy up finate resources we have to rent from them.

It's insane how many people think if all the rational people left the government...

That will somehow fight Trump's plan to make the government ineffective.

Fucking toddler logic, and it's widely up voted.

No wonder shit's so fucked.
