It’s not jailbroken. I can still pick up games for it at garage sales. I haven’t run into problems — but I mostly play racing games — obviously not online but it’s still fun. RDR still runs. Working as usual.

I’m using a thirteen year old XBOX 360 — love it. Have all physical media. It’s fun. 7 more years until 20 so I guess I’ll keep you posted.
uBlock Origin and Matrix are entirely new to me — of course I can’t have missed references to them in discussions but I just don’t have the time to chase down every good idea.
Simply getting engaged with the Fediverse has been adventure enough.
Here’s hoping more and more people start valuing their privacy more and more.
You need to hand a twenty to a dude on the corner. That’s privacy. We used to have it.
Perfectly relevant. Thank you.
I enjoyed reaching the gist of your meaning: Legislation needs to be written.
So let’s hope that can happen.
And on a personal level, what have you heard about people who intentionally make their data useless?
This has been my strategy.
I never buy what’s recommended.
I purchase items with cash when I can so they are not added to my “profile”.
Have you heard much about this strategy? How might it work if everyone used it? Generally thoughts for how we can defy their machine and protect ourselves?
One would hope…
Hope I didn’t fall for Any honeypots. I sometimes wonder about posts in Piracy communities.
So basically the only thing protecting our anonymity is the relative unpopularity of Lemmy?
Is it possible a film studio, or legal agency, could set up a Lemmy Instance and then capture all our IPs?
Wow! That’s awesome. Thank you!
Still, I can’t believe we’ve allowed the corporations to dictate the whole select all option — glad there’s a work around, but seriously, we used to have the select all feature everywhere.
Well, that’s good news. Not sure why it was easy for me in Firefox but impossible in Safari.
Thanks for taking a peek.
Thanks bot.
I only saw the video and got triggered by all the corporate logos.
I’m not certain how people use those corporate videos through some library app but at the end of the day, any use of those apps benefits the corporation behind them.
Hoopla is normalizing surveillance capitalism. Sorry You’re not seeing that. Perhaps you didn’t watch the video?
I remember a message appearing on my android device when I first started using F-droid, something like: do not trust any programs you can download from anywhere except places grubby capitalists can molest you and feast on your data.
Yes — but local projectionists maintain the ability to restore the ability to present the films.
When corporations are in charge of everything, humanity is a powerless minion holding its icky tiny gruel filled bowl and whining, “please, sir, May I have some more.”
And the fact that your access can vanish for no reason at any time.
Also… internet crash. That’s going to be fun for folks.
Somebody’s collecting all those old projectors and celluloid and that person is going to be the coolest person in whatever city they are in depending on the celluloid they also collect.
In fact — in Portland — a big assed projector would go over huge even today.
I think people are sick to death of the magic of digital streaming.
I’m not a huge gamer. 30 hours per year max. I get to longing some immersion so I do four hours and I’m free of the longing for months. I think this might be why I haven’t needed any maintenance.
My kids are still on an XBOX ONE but they too have pretty much grown out of excessive gaming.
Who knows how long these will last when the use falls to minimum.
