  • Maybe you can go the warehouse and pick it up from the boxes, drive down to the farm to het the produce or, even better, grow your own food ALL THE WHILE STILL PAYING FULL VALUE TO THE SUPERMARKET.

    "People used to have even more done for them and now they don't and pay the same" is not the powerful argument for us having even less done for us that you think it is.

  • The "right wing media" (what I would call the far-right media here in Europe) will say pretty anything quite independently of it being true or not. They've relentlessly been making shit up about Democrats and will keep on doing so.

    The people who believe the "right wing media" are never going to vote for Kamala because they already believe a massive pile of unbelievable bollocks about her.

    "The right wing media will say" isn't quite the powerful argument that you think it is for the future POTUS to keep her association with an unrepentant Genocide enabler and supporter.

  • Not wanting to do free work for a company (they don't even give you a discount if you use self-service) is being a boomer?

    That's the first time I've seen the word "boomer" on the opposite side of the word "sucker".

  • Zionists are Nazis.

    Same propaganda techniques, same violent unrestrained racism, same calous murdering of those of the "wrong" race.

    The only difference is that the "superior race" the Zionists claim to represent is a different one, as is the one they deem untermenschen (or specifically in their words "human animals").

    You can literally replace "Israel" for "Germany" and "Jewish People" for "Arian Race" in some of the speeches coming from the Israeli government to end up with something pretty close to some of the Nazi speeches.

    If you want to be technical about it, Zionists are ethno-Fascists - which is a rarer and far more racist and violent kind of Fascism than the traditional one - like the Nazis but they're not specifically the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (so, not actually the NAZI party), just a modern version of it with a different set of races they see as ubermenschen and untermenschen (what the Zionists call "the chosen people" and the "human animals").

    So yeah, a guy like Biden actively supporting these modern Nazis with weapons whilst they commit Genocide is also a Nazi (just like somebody giving the KKK weapons knowing they will be used to kill afro-americans counts as being KKK) and those people doggedly coming out to defend Biden of any and all criticism of his actions in this are tainting themselves with the stink of this modern Nazism (they can hardly claim they're against the mass murder of children whilst actively protecting one of the key guys in making it possible)

  • His VP can come out and voice her disagreement with his actions, distancing herself from him and those actions.

    It's the simplest solution by far.

    Not doing so and instead having the party loyalists go around raging at any who criticize Biden's complicity in Genocide, is not the simplest solution.

    And yet here we are, with the tribalists piling up on any criticism online instead of Kamala Harris simply voicing her disagreement with Biden's policies.

    One wonders why exactly the chosen option is not the simplest and most likely to lead to a Trump defeat.

  • You assume too much.

    I simply have principles and won't just stand quiet in the face of evildoing, no matter what the excuse.

    As I pointed out multiple times before, the simplest thing is for one man, Joe Biden, to change the way he acts, not for millions to close their eyes and swallow their principles (or for thousands of useful idiots to come out and defend his indefensible actions, making themselves accomplices along with him in the mass murder of children).

    In 10 or 20 years' time, when the full form of this Holocaust is known, I will know I was always on the right side and you and those like you will be trying to forget how you tainted your hands with the blood of children, protecting Biden from being forced to not help murder them anymore.

    I'll leave you with a thought: do you think the bombing of residential neighborhoods in Beirut with 2000lb bombs sent from the US (which the US Military refuses to use because the collateral damage is too great) which has killed countless civilians including children, would have happened without the useful idiots and tribalists having spend the last year doggedly defending of Biden allowing him to send ever more and more dangerous weapons to Israel? To you really think the chain of events that has resulted in Israel extending the war to Lebanon would've still happened if there was a massive outcry against Joe Biden and the Democrats 6 months ago, well before the election?

  • There is no real different between two kind of shameless liars covering up mass murder of children.

    One might even say Netanyahu is at times less dishonest (if one could measure "honesty" at such infinitesimal levels) because he's more open about his murderous intentions.

    Biden on the other hand is a full blown hypocrite who claims to want to stop Netanyahu whilst knowingly sending him the very 2000lb bombs used in residential areas in Gaza and Lebanon, a kind which the US Military itself does not use because its collateral damage is too massive.

    They're both sociopaths, it's just that while Netanyahu is playing a "strong man" character whilst Biden plays the "powerless to act gentleman", and many in more modern nations don't recognized the shameless lying under the latter style as easily as they do under the former.

  • I was going to write that I don't think you're a Nazi, just giving yourself excuses to act in ways that taint you with their stink.

    Then I saw this beauty:

    actively helping the modern Nazis mass-murder children in, not one but TWO countries, lest the electoral chances of that person’s party are weakened.

    Low quality analysis and very biased take on what’s going on.

    Already after the Genocide was well underway Biden sent Israel 2000lb bombs, which the US itself does not use because their collateral damage is too large (they flatten entire housing blocks), which have been used by Israel in both Gaza and in residential areas in Lebanon resulting in horrible numbers of civilian casualties, including many children.

    You Sir, have the morals of a Zionist, a modern Nazi.

  • You must have been living under a rock for months now if you still think Biden is the one running against Trump.

    Further, I wonder what kind of Morals, Ethics and Principles a person must have to think others should stay mute about two-faced hypocrites actively helping the modern Nazis mass-murder children in, not one but TWO countries, lest the electoral chances of that person's party are weakened.

    One wonders just how many Nazi-support layers away from the actually Nazis does it take to stop being a Nazi? Is the Nazi-supporter still a Nazi? How about those who support and defend Nazi-supporters - are they Nazis?

  • The logical conclusion in the face of Biden's other actions such as keeping on sending weapons to Netanyahu and protecting him in the UN, is that this "leak" is a purposeful and carefully crafted bit of PR from Biden's team.

    By their own track record, Biden and his minions are about as trustworthy as Netanyahu.

  • There's a button there to enable/disable air-mouse functionality (basically the tilting of the remote moves the mouse pointer), though it's awkward to use compared to a normal mouse.

    The keyboard on the back is also awkward to use, not just because the keys are small and not quite in standard positions but also because Shift and Alt are both "press to enable, press to disable", with no notification lights (so, say, your keyboard might be in "Alt mode" and you're trying to used it and it's just doing weird stuff).

    The thing does work as a combo of media player remote + mouse + keyboard, but it's not very practical for the last 2. Also that specific model seems to have problems with the remote buttons not working if the remote is tilted (which shouldn't be at all a problem given that's a wireless remote).

    The idea is good, the implementation could be better. There are other models like that around. Just avoid the "Google" remotes as that's Android-locked and for voice recognition (plus it comes pre-enshittified with only a handful of buttons which only start apps such as Netflix).

    Even with the quirks of the remote, whilst using that setup I often find myself altogether forgetting that what I'm using there is a PC with Linux.

  • This is a step forward.

    You see, for millenia people have most been swindled en masse using Fantasy stories - you know, Demons, Gods, flying demigods with wings, that kind of thing - and now we're starting to see more and more Sci-Fi stories used to swindle people (honorable mention to Ron Hubbard, a true trailblazer in this) - so chemtrails, mind-control satellites, weather lasers.

    PS: Curiously this pretty much aligns with the increase in Fraud in Tech and phenomenons like Tech Bros.

  • I'm using a N100 mini-PC with Kodi as a Media/TV Box and it works pretty much as a dedicated device would with one of these remotes.

    I seldom have to actually access it with a keyboard and mouse, though that machine also works as my home server so I do regularly access it remotelly for stuff that has nothing to do with using it as a media box.

  • My TV has always been run without the "smarts" ever since I bought it.

    That said, recently I've replaced my TV Box and Media Box with a N100 Mini PC running Linux and Kodi plus a wireless remote and in addition to that the thing even works as my home server with additional functionality than just that of the devices it replaced.

    For a cheaper/easier option try LibreELEC on top one of the devices they support (check the downloads page or the Wiki for the list). It's basically a Linux distro with Kodi, so open and with none of the privacy intrusion risks of Android. The same kind of wireless remote (example - note that you don't actually need to use the keyboard on the back or the air mouse) also works here since it just relies on standard shortcut keys of media programs like Kodi so works everywhere (even Android).

    However what all these privacy-protecting non-enshittified options have in common is that they're not fully configured solutions that you just buy and use - as you've noticed, if you just buy a streaming stick or device it will likely be at the least "spammy" - and you do have to do some of the work to get them working.

    Something like LibreELEC on a mini PC should be the simplest to put together as the hardware comes preconfigured in an actual box and all that's needed is to install the LibreELEC image from a bootable USB stick, but if you have a bit more technical know-how (not really that much needed, mind you) you can get something like one of the supported Orange Pi boards along with a box for it and it will cost you less than half as much as even a basic Mini PC - those boards are basically using the same chips as Android TV media boxes so you get the same performance without the "spammyness".
