exactly, when confronted with cognitive dissonance people look for any shitty excuse to avoid changing their minds.

look into a VPN to your home network when you leave your house. you can also set it to “on demand” so it automatically turns on when you disconnect from your home wifi.

and for your mobile devices you can set up an on-demand VPN to turn on whenever you’re not on your home network.

or even a seedbox in another country.

remuxes are not hard to find.

or just pirate it whenever.

advertising some products to kids will probably make them future customers. tobacco/vape/gambling etc.

they have no power over the president. only congress does.

scotus isn’t the issue, it’s the milquetoast congress that won’t impeach and convict him.

i think their point was the author should at least add new options, not necessarily get rid of the usual ones.

so brave.

exactly, profit margin. people aren’t upgrading every year like they used to, so they have to make up (some of) that lost profit by increasing prices.

obviously they did exist. why do you think phone manufacturers would stop making them if they were as profitable as the other sizes?

i don’t think it’s “too hard” to make small phones. but i bet it’s easier to sell bigger phones with more profit margin.

it’s also when mobile media in general was available on your phone. tv, movies, YouTube, games, everything. not everything is about porn.

in case you’re on the older side, in addition to what they said in the other comment OTA broadcasts are now digital HD.

if you want a pragmatic answer, apple tv with emby or jellyfin+infuse works for me. not saying apple is perfect but at least their business model is not 100% dependent on monetizing your data and targeted ads.

oh it WILL happen on both sides. it’s just going to be part of our lives now, and social media is fully justified in removing it from their platforms.

yeah it’s basically deepfake porn.
