There are many of us that skip the local OS and go straight to our own source, but there are also many that use the local OS for apps or whatever. Those are the people I’m talking about. They’re the ones getting fucked.

If for some reason someone turns on the wifi on my LG tv (I have teenagers and their friends), I have the device itself blacklisted from the network.

But that’s not a reasonable level of granularity for a typical user. We need privacy protection laws to end this sort of behavior from manufacturers.

Projectors have the exact same problems. Their OSs are awful with ads, too.

Replaced the last Windows computer in the house with CachyOS this morning. Fuck off Microsoft.
