Why even offer the WiFi? They could just threaten to kill them if they don’t give them money each month.

Ask yourself some questions about the situation, and give yourself honest answers.

• Can I do anything about it right now?
• Might I be able to do something about it when I’m better?
• Could I spend some time thinking of potential temporary solutions while I wait, instead of spending that time worrying?
• Is it happening now, or do I have time to come up with something?
• If I think I can’t do anything about it, does worrying help the situation or make it worse?

These are sample questions. Ask yourself about specific concerns that worry you. Sometimes, the responses will require follow-up questions. Point is to end pointless worrying and start looking at the problem logically and realistically, without the emotion clouding your thinking.

I was wondering what the Keyword blocking feature was all about, then I read this:

"Begone, Elon/X spam!"

...and now it's my favorite Voyager feature! Thank you!!!

Same.

First they increase prices for content I don’t watch - Live and Sports. Next, I found out they don’t allow Amazon Whole Foods employees to wear BLM masks if they want, and now increasing prices again to avoid ads.

Meanwhile, I was able to get a Walmart+ membership (on sale) for $50/year, and their prices are very competitive with Amazon, which comes with Free shipping and Paramount+ subscription, as well as other perks.

It was a no-brainer.

Use the email "[email protected]", and anything as the password. It'll reject it and give you a way to just use a local account instead of a Microsoft account.

Trump was tough on China.

Damn! That judge really took them down point by point!

I don’t buy that Disney is in trouble at all.

Streaming prices are going up, ads are now a thing unless you pay more, password sharing is on the way out, and soon showing movies in theaters first will taker over, and finally, they’ll begin bundling services you don’t want with the ones you do, and have a minimum subscription term so you can’t just cancel and switch to a different service on a whim. That’s, pretty much their old business model, just cutting out the cable companies.

In the meantime, they’re playing hardball with actors and writers, in hopes of locking them in a long term contract with less money “because streaming isn’t making money”, before much of the above takes hold.

It won’t be long before most movies are released to theaters first, and then streaming months later.

It reads like a bot trying to sow division.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

Interesting, thank you. Any truly privacy focused browsers you recommend?
