I’m a huge fan of sci-fi and I do love myself some sci-fi horror, like those in Love, Death & Robots and the German series Dark, but even Dark is nowhere as dark as Black Mirror is. The difference being Black Mirror is entirely focused on showing you the darkest side of human nature. There are no redemptions in most of the stories. No typical hero journey, no light vs dark narrative; just shit going from bad to worse to nightmare fuel.

If there’s one thing you can take away from the entire series, it wouldn’t be “Technology is bad”, but “Humans are fucked up”.

I’ve watched White Christmas too after hearing so much about it, and that, my friend, was the final nail to the coffin for me. Anymore Black Mirror and I’m going to cry.

This episode made me stop watching Black Mirror for good. It was way too disturbing and I’m someone who doesn’t even flinch while watching horror.

Let’s face it. How many of us have actually contributed enough to any FOSS projects to demand for free and premium services. I personally would rather donate to a FOSS app instead of paying Sync, but it’s unfair to judge Sync for having ads and trackers when the option of removing them is there. There’s nothing wrong with any dev wanting to make a decent living or even more than that, as long as they don’t go overboard and are honest about it.

Not sure if it’s a bug or feature, but it’s almost impossible to delete all traces of your accounts on Lemmy since they get copied to other instances, which don’t disappear even after you’ve “deleted” your accounts. I’ve tested this myself. I can still click into my deleted profile from another instance and the comments are all still there too.

Just move on to other instances and remember, no take-backsies!

Hmmm I’ve never used Fen so I’m not sure if it works without premium services, but it sounds like RD isn’t working. Did you check if the files that are showing are from RD? It’s highly unlikely that the latest John Wick only comes in 4K. I recommend trying Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid, the UI is just so much better and addons a lot easier to install than Kodi. Also I’m using my old laptop instead of Android boxes. It’s a lot faster plus it circumvents the issue of sharing Netflix with someone not from the same household.

It used to be that everyone pays the same amount of money for entry into a game world, and the reward depends on how much we grind, but it’s becoming more and more like real life these days which is really sad.

• Universal access to healthcare, food, water, shelter, electricity, and education without cost.
• Prohibit the operation of businesses or investments in basic necessities mentioned in previous point.
• Non-essential amenities such as entertainment, fashion, travel, luxury goods etc continue to be available for purchase.
• A reasonable tax structure that ensures higher taxes for the rich.

Is that Communism? Is that too much to ask for?

Aussie here. They have the right to go through all your devices if they suspect you of smuggling or working or wanting to work illegally in Australia. They will read through all your private messages and have them translated if not in English. Even then I’ve never heard of airport security giving a rat’s ass about pirated stuff.

Totally is. Now we just need a volunteer to grow the community.

Gotcha. It’s not compulsory anyway.

Which VPN were you using if you don’t mind me asking? A free one or one that throttles or blocks torrenting may explain the horrible speed.
