Yah bump.

They're coming for your TVs too sadly. Forced ads, won't work if offline, no more usb ports for portable drives, etc. Really pisses me off but I'm buying extra older dumb TVs, have three spare so far. Get everything digital you can, extra portable 2TB - 16TB drives, flashdrives, DVDs, CDs, records (I no longer collect cassettes or tapes because they are very unreliable and go bad after two decades). Backup everything while we still have this technology available and take advantage of p2p networks.

Hard to believe this is basically ignored on image boards today, it's as if the soul of image board culture has been sucked dry and bankrupted, no one cares about anything anymore. This is how freedom and our way of life ends.

As bad as Facebook and Twitter X are, at least there are still some people who give a damn about the demise and destruction of our society, economy and culture. Can't really say the same is true on these alt platforms anymore.

Windows 11 is a mirror of our broken modern society. Greedy. Stupid. Arrogant. Worthless. Pathetic.

I haven't owned a TV for 13 years mostly because nothing interesting is on. I wouldn't buy one now seeing most all TVs are "smart" TVs and dumb TVs are rare.

It's either ignored or they're contrarians and argue AI is good, especially on 4chan. They just say that because they fap their dicks off to shitty AI porn.

A lot of people are switching to Linux now days. Even gamers are dumping Windows for Steam OS which caused Microslop to panic. Now the UK government is trying to sue Steam OS claiming "they're a monopoly" lol. The desperation is really kicking in. No one wants all this "smart" "AI" shit forced down our throats.

The only reason I have an older TV is because I have a ton of DVD box sets and tons of favorite movies and media I store offline to watch when I desire to. Otherwise I would have no use for it either. Alternative options are still available for now, but not forever.

ok test

Some are so stupid these days they claim "you lose" as you walk away from their garbage and adopt independent alternative solutions lmfao. Not so, they just lose more potential profit and face a declining consumer base is all.

Our whole society is heading backwards, products are actually getting worse, not better!

Windows 11 is the most Indian OS in existence.
I get the feeling that a small group of 20-30 people could design an OS a million times better than what exists right now. There's a weird phenomenon in software where massive projects end up collapsing under their own weight while out of nowhere a single guy can build an amazing game or something else extraordinary.

I agree. I'm using Linux and Windows 7 for my two laptops. I still have to use Windows for certain software I rely on which is why I run an older Windows OS. Windows 7 can easily be modified to run faster and smoother without the default bloatware that came with it activated and you can easily disable any unnecessary MS remote services and auto-update. Using tools like Process Explorer and Process Manager helps you gain full user control over the Windows OS too. I have full control over what does and does not run in the background of Windows 7. It is very liberating and no way would I ever upgrade to a newer Windows OS ever again. Linux is also getting better as time goes on, eventually if they can make all Windows running software easily compatible within their Operating Systems I might consider switching entirely to Linux.

The Davos/WEF new "great reset" has been decoded and exposed. They want EVERYTHING subscription based, they wish to destroy consumer choice, the free market, open source innovation and most importantly destroy PRIVATE OWNERSHIP and USER PRIVACY. Prepare accordingly. If you haven't been doing so already you should be mass backing up desirable media and making multiple offline backups of everything you have collected. You should absolutely own a couple of your favorite laptops and/or PCs. Have backup bootable ISO copies of all your favorite operating systems. Same thing with older "dumb" TVs, VCR/DVD & DVD/Blu-ray combo players, collect physical media, learn how to store it properly and take care of it long-term. Collect box sets of physical media, have extra hardware (late 90s and early to mid 2000s hardware by far the best). Buy CDs for cheap at thrift shops, buy records too, get combo players for cassettes/CDs/vinyl like Crosley brands (I have two myself and working on fixing an older one I have, all having 3 speeds for vinyl). Old school games as well, have a collection of consoles and physical games you can play anytime even when offline.

Basically my plan is to boycott anything that mandates a subscription or internet connection to function. Boycott any online services that require an ID to use them.

>Are the "masses who are asses" smart enough to bail their digital slavery shackles?

no because microshit legacy software is still used by a lot of companies and .gov groups. It's probably not going to go away in our lifetimes.

I've switched my main laptop to Zorin OS and won't ever go back.
