Probably because consumers have made them billionaires.

Look how smug and happy he is! Anyone wanna tell him?

Yeah, correct.

I just set it up as well. Nothing groundbreaking, but clean interface. Haven’t used the btc via email function yet.

My only concern would be if there was some sort of breach that affected my proton credentials (yes, I realize the odds are low), then that would also give access to my wallet (and passwords, but not using that).

This might be good for a hot spending wallet, but not sticking anything substantial in there.

The turnaround from screen to home media has gotten short enough to where it’s fine to wait for a high quality version. Cams were good in the 80s when you bought the VHS tapes from some dude selling them out of a box down in the subway. Though the odds of brining home a blank were pretty good!

Anyone try this on Android TV-like box? Perhaps I will. Though will be kind of hard to usurp the Stremio/Debrid/Torrentio/Orion setup. Might be a nice Plan B for when Debrid lays an egg.

While cheap healthcare here is nice, without private insurance (pricey) it can be months to get an appointment with a primary care doctor. I had to fire one doctor who just refused to make progress on treating my conditions or help in the aid of persistent pain. Many doc offices operate as patient mills, where you can wait up to 90 minutes past your appointment time to be seen for 5 minutes. Office gets the pay from insurance, and you need to return 3 months later with the same ailments. I was stuck in that system for a year before I found a new doc that would listen to me and take me on as a patient.

So, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. It is a better setup than in the US, where insurance has ruined the industry, but unless you’re diligent about getting a good doctor to take you on, or pay for private insurance, It’s just a grind. A lot of chopping, but no chips are flying.

The system here is better, but the treatment you get in the US is ultimately more beneficial.

This has been my experience and perhaps not representative of the system as a whole.

It’s crazy! The doctor said they weren’t allowed to use email because fax was more secure. I explained that using e-fax wasn’t any more secure. I also reached out to a guy I know who works IT for a small village and the way he laid it out is that Germany doesn’t want to have to upgrade and train everyone on email, buy all the computers, go through the growing pains of new tech.

This sums up Germany in general… if it’s not broken then shut up, there’s nothing to fix. You can’t even go grocery shopping or wash your car on Sundays. The rest of the EU runs laps around Germany on tech and progressive life.

(Transplant from USA, I should note. It’s been a journey.)

Are you in Germany? They’re still using fax, predominantly, here. My doctor wanted to fax my records, couldn’t email them to me. I said of course don’t have a fkn fax, it’s 2024. I asked if people still have pots lines for fax machines and she said they use e-fax. There’s your German efficiency!

Anyway, government passed some law saying they have to cease using them (for gov business) by end of 2024. In the meantime, don‘t throw that telegraph out just yet!

Combination of Sportsfire and Streamfire apps.

Back then: The prices of shit and ease of procurement. Nowadays, I’ll buy reasonably priced software because I’m not a broke dick and like to have support if needed. Though, understandably, there’s still a lot of bullshit software that’s way too expensive. But I lean towards foss software when I can get away with it.

But for streaming/cable/satellite? I’d rather wipe my ass with that money. I’ll go to the theater if a movie looks good enough, just to change things up, but with so much awful shit being produced… nope.

I pay for music streaming on Deezer, but also have a carefully curated media library and run Nicotine 24/7 to share on slsk.

I guess it’s a toss up between money and principle. 🤷‍♂️

That seems to be written by a child.

What is it? Not going to watch the video.
