He looks so much like Biden in that photo.

What’s the source of this interview?

So many good memories our trading mp3 files on dalnet and effnet. Wish mirc from the 90s ran on Linux today.

I guess I wasn’t meaning to recommend one over the other, I was curious what the value proposition of connecting your tv to the internet is. (The tv I have is at least ten years old and is incredibly sluggish even changing channels - I can’t imagine using the built in apps is any better. Same with our ancient Blu-ray player, just awful to use.) Or if there is no value prop and you’re forced (or nagged) to do so in order to use your tv.

I assume that any sort of streaming is offering up a surveillance buffet. I just want to limit the data as best I can.

Why are people connecting their tvs to the internet at all vs using a dedicated streaming box? Are tvs now forcing you to do so on initial setup?

I haven’t bought a tv in 10+ years - want to get another but honestly feel sketched out at the prospect of doing so.

“Well release a batgirl movie” sounds like a really ominous statement to make tbh

Decades later I still sort books when I go to a bookstore.
