True, but most people are buying off-the-shelf stuff and they don't have their own localized piracy-enabled libraries with a Jellyfin server.

Further, I'm pretty sure you've got to connect your Roku at least once to install player apps like Jellyfin. But maybe you don't, I'm not at all familiar with if you can sideload on a Roku.

I've always just done it manually by viewing the Pi-Hole logs for the device I am on while the ad is loading. It takes getting into the weeds a bit.

Further, I don't have a Roku so I've never looked into it myself.

That being said, a quick search brought up this hosts file:

Adlist for Pi-hole with domains for Roku, LG, and Samsung

Not sure if it's current or not. Lots of threads about Roku ads making it through after being previously blocked.

Or better yet, use a Pi-Hole or something similar to block the relevant adservers at the DNS level.

If you think another private company with profit on their mind is safe, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Sounds like an easy choice to me.

Pretty sure Libre only does local document collaboration, having it online is helpful for teams far from each other or who simply don't have the infrastructure for their own central server of this kind.

Nice. Where is the source, on github (I didn't see it but I only skimmed)? Federated? Self-hostable?

I'm so glad I wasn't the only person who immediately thought "This is some Wile E. Coyote shit."

Newspeak and doublethink at the same time, ackshually, but I think everybody gets what you both mean.

Lots of people had pointed out the issues with the IBA and who they were run by while this was happening.

The fact that it takes organizations like the IOC this fucking long to research and prove it is a fucking joke.

Institutions simply do not move as fast as misinformation.

A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on.

It doesn't help that the information is readily available and easily provable yet dinosaur institutions think they need to spend nine fucking months "investigating" it before they can make a fucking statement.

I mean, this sucks, but Apple's Airpods are far more egregious, far more numerous (something like 550 million+ versus 10,000+ AI pins), and have spawned an army of copycats all which cannot be repaired and are just ewaste waiting to happen.

It's really that the entire fucking industry just doesn't god damned care and I can't even find places that reliably take electronic waste like desktops and laptops, let alone this fucking horseshit. USA produces massive amounts of ewaste and basically is like "fuck it" on creating a recycling industry around it.

This problems goes so far beyond these dinky AI pins.

Futurama was making jokes about the horrors of ewaste in its first return run in 2013, it's 2025 and it's only gotten worse.

Who'd have fuckin' guessed that the country that's burning bridges with all their allies might have a currency that may not be doing so hot?
