Who said anything about nukes? Other than you, Mr. Military Genius here hanging around Lemmy.

Take off hoser!

Tell me again why we don’t own Alaska 🤦‍♂️

It’s hard to be aware when most everything in Canada has basically been sold to the US by the greedy. I mean the last shred of our heritage is the French on the packaging. If it weren’t for that, you could never tell between products from either nation.

Hockey? We have like 3 teams left in the NHL. Superman? He’s American now. Alaska, which is the landing point for a staggering amount of goods coming into Canada, American now too. Tim Hortons? American.

We sold our heritage long ago. You can say whatever you want to farm karma but the sad reality is we basically are the 51st state. And as mad as Canadians get hearing that, especially now (I loath Trump and have always had a tenuous opinion of the US), it’s the sad truth.

And if you’re hoping for Carney to make this place great, he won’t. The whole “we are building a better world” is the biggest lie told because people have long realized you die. Legacy or not. No one wants to spends their lives in agony so three generations down will get it easy. That’s a hackneyed trope for a sci fi movie, nothing more.

It’s strange to me you list all these logical reasons why this or that wouldn’t happen and cite legal precedent and policies to bolster your opinion.

But the fact is that none of those things matter during war times. The US is deporting its own natural citizens now. They have made violent boasts and continue to insult other countries to this day.

The US would 100% bomb the northern parts with drones and push everyone south. From there they will take out everything of merit with massive collateral damage. They out number us 350 million to 40 million. The world is throwing half ass aid to Ukraine but the sad fact is that’s also what would happen.

No one can stop a first world, militarized nation without decimating humanity at this point. Even if it was us invading them, the death toll would be ludicrous if it meant the way of life for each nation.

And sadly, this is all at the whims of a few nut jobs. 99.9999% of the world just wants to live in peace and be left the fuck alone. Then you have the 50 some billionaires who just can’t get that thru their heads, always starting shit.

He hasn’t done anything yet lol. Maybe these clowns wouldn’t rob you blind and give it all to corporations if you were so won over by nothing but talking points 🤦‍♂️

Strangely enough I’ve found that some kid in India or Russia distributing his crack doesn’t do it to control my PC or to infect it.

Big corporations that install root kits or use hyper invasive cheat software (even when no competitive mode even exists) are far more insidious and untrustworthy.

I worry more about the hidden telemetry of big apps more than some crack being infected. Hell even MS virus scan will throw up false flags because the software just isn’t a registered dev or will quarantine an exe in error (libremonitor for example).

Hi. I’d like the word “pro-sumer” banned. In perpetuity.

It seems like the most obvious answer is to build your own with a Pi. Run Linux and then install any player you want. You could even use the Pi as the head then network your storage.

Also, FWIW, the latest Apple TV hasn’t seen an upgrade in about 3-4 years, so if you do go that route, bear that in mind. A new model is coming sooner than later (hopefully this year).
