That was a great point. I was assuming it adds stress which exacerbated symptoms of mental health conditions that incentivized the couples to get diagnosed.

If I was in your boat I'd probably do what you're doing right now, because I hate Roku's operating system. Long ago my family used this Roku for the same use case:

It's the Roku Roku Express+ 3910RW. Apparently it doesn't get updates anymore though so your mileage may vary with this thing.

What's Newsgroups?

I hear good things about the Ultra but I'll never buy one. The Premiere+ is still killing it and I don't think we'll need to replace it, and nobody in the family seems to care as much about this as I do so I don't think they'll be replacing the other Roku products in the home anytime soon.

Hmm I can't say I've ever used the voice features. But I (unfortunately) got my family into the Roku ecosystem awhile ago (before streaming blew up, we had got rid of DirecTV longgggg ago when it became too expensive and my dad had lost his job) and every single Roku device we've ever had except for the 2018 Roku Premiere+ just slowly gets more and more broken over time. The interface will take multiple seconds to respond to a button press after a couple years or so. It's so bad that we have a Roku TV that's so slow that there's a Roku device plugged into it that we use instead, and even that device is so slow that I'm washing it got burned with fire. On top of that I can tell that certain apps know that they're running on crappy hardware and software (particularly the Sling TV app), and deliver footage at a horrendously low video quality as a result.

I do but at least they don't prevent you from suing them like Roku does.

Never mind, I guess they do

The operating system is still better though. Suck it Roku.

LOL fair. If I have a choice (we'll see when I move out) I take Google TV over Roku everytime. Roku's software is horrible, Apple got sued over doing far less than what Roku does with their operating system.

Why is this the case?

Why would I use Roku anyways? It's such an inferior television operating system.

I ain't reading all that

Nostr is fine but I find the frontends to be janky. Plus there is some community bleed due to the bridges that have been created between Nostr and the Fediverse.

Forum software is best for asking questions and I'd ask more here but nobody would even read those questions if I did lol

I love it though. I find it so much fun.

Although maybe I'd find forumming as fun as microblogging if the people here were nicer.

Having a larger and more culturally, ideologically and demographically diverse community plays HEAVILY into that side of the Fedivere's favor. I enjoy my time over there far more than over here. People here are extremely touchy and culty, while people over there seem pretty chill. I also think the frontends over there have matured better than the forum software, although we're starting to catch up, and third-party frontends here absolutely outclass the default.

I freaking love this video. It felt like a movie, I think I watched it twice since it came out.

Thanks for the link. This had happened awhile ago and I'd forgotten a few of these details.

People ended up believing that story?

Well that's good

Why is it designed this way? Someone could upload illegal materials for example and that content still remains on the server. Wouldn't that be a huge liability for instance hosters?

Watching 30 second ads?
