Stremio+Torrentio+Real-debrid and a computer hooked up to your entertainment center like you proposed. One and done, wam, bam, thank you ma’am.

I seriously doubt they’re not capturing the information just because you told them not to. They’re just going to treat it differently. But have no delusions that they’re respecting your wishes as you think they should.

I have never seen an opt-out work as it should. Operating systems just re-enable everything through system updates. Apps do it through app updates. A lot of updates seem like they’re for nothing other than getting you to agree to a new more intrusive ToS. For websites, spam lists, and that sort of shit, they just create a new mailer program and opt you into that. Sure, they’re not sending you the one you opted out of, but there are 500 more on the back burner. Some of the worst offenders will have dozens or even hundreds of different lists and force you to opt out of each one individually. Then of course there are the spammers who just don’t even capture the opt out. Or put the opt out behind a login that you don’t even have. Or serve the opt out page through an ad-click network which is blocked by your filter list, firewall, ad blocker, or DNS. There are a hundred ways they circumvent the laws and legislators are doing nothing to stop them.

An eBike would be faster, and way easier to maintain and store. They don’t require insurance.

They work well enough, Google has just done a very shitty job with their AI. Quite the disappointment considering how innovative Google used to be. Now it’s all about maximum profits at minimum cost for them, and nothing else. Well, nothing else except racism.

There are a lot bad games out there, and not everyone likes every type of game. So try highly rated games from various categories. Just be aware that video gaming consumes a lot of time that you could use for productivity in other areas of your life. I play video games pretty regularly, but I also turn it off when it seems excessive.

And do what with it? Live in a partially flooded house, while dosing LSD, and giving it hand jobs?

I used to have a VPN subscription, but most of the places I really wanted to block just blocked me instead. Lots of important services didn’t work, and it was a constant pain. So I just let the subscription expire when it ran out.

I’d bet good money that a skilled malicious actor could find out exactly who you or I am within a single day. Most people don’t even use anonymous email addresses, and any admin log showing their email address, combined with an IP address, would make tracking then down trivial.

It depends entirely on the tech stack it’s hosted on. If it’s hosted on an elastic server then it can support more people than there are in the world.

And musk, and about a dozen other names including Biden, Harris, and Bernie.

What about WordPress? Do they still give free sites on WordPress.com?

It shouldn’t be though. Nothing a company gleans from your use of a product should be available for purchase by any third party. This should have been legislated two decades ago.

Agreeing to location services for the purpose of performing the apps intended use, is not the same as agreeing that the government can track your location on a whim. Where the fuck are the constitutional lawyers who fight this kind of egregious constitutional violation?

Just optimizing daylight while I can. Hiking on my lunch break, and going outside often.

Jesus Christ Marie, they’re not rocks. They’re minerals

LOL, yeah I was pretty surprised when I first started dating my wife and she reared her head back like that old cat video and then clamped her teeth down around my forearm. Now I like it.

Washing the dishes, or cleaning up after yourself tells me that you love me and you in a way that words can’t express

Save your energy for something useful, eg contributing.

Or watching porn in HDR because of Plasma 6!

My wife always finds fun trivia cards at the thrift store. Maybe check there, unless you’re looking specifically for digital games.
