Good news. Anything but fossil fuels at this point.

I had access to everything legit and still mainly sailed the high seas. I just prefer to have all the content centralised and local.
My wife used to prefer the streaming apps but she really converted and thought I was a genius when we went for 2 months with constant isp internet drops for hours at a time.
The difference is using a 2nd computing device as a controller it seems, ie using your phone to cast a video to chromecast.
I actually can’t believe touchstream won this initial case though because they are definitely a patent troll. The don’t make any products themselves they just got an overly broad patent of technology that seemingly already existed (and was pretty obvious) and they go around trying to get companies to pay them licensing fees. And what I read of their patent doesn’t even seem like it covers chromecast, they specify a client device -> separate server -> display device not a direct connection to a display device.
If google really does away with adblockers I expect many more will follow. I’m not even against unobtrusive ads but the few times I’ve been away from my own pihole / ublock browser setup and rawdogged the internet those ads were next level obnoxious. I can’t live like that.
Yup Twitter was for following people and Reddit was for following topics. Lemmy with all the new users is pretty much viable for big topics now but Mastodon doesn’t magically have all the people I want to follow just because it’s a better format.
I don’t think you are.
My balls just got 18% bigger when you said that.
