I use the web browser feature instead of tv apps. It circumvents a lot of the tv tracking. Of course, you trade it for web tracking.

I love lemmy. People try to be nice. Its amazing.

Ive learned that a nice simple bean base can be recombined endless ways. I’ve been making them w less spice and no meat, adding that later in the final meal.

No.
You can deny permissions and use it as a monitor.
YMMV on using tv channels, but that should work.
But no hulu for you if no smart tv.

You can connect, set it up, patch it, and then wipe it, revoke the permissions, make it an offline device again.

You can go back and forth. To use smart tv functions again, youd need to agree to the spy stuff again.

(Edit: I own a Visio and a Fire TV, so that’s what my response is based on.)

I have two smart tvs. One is my gamer monitor, it doesnt get internet, and doesnt even have the correct time. The other one pretty much only plays youtube music, it replaced my old stereo.
I don’t think they are getting much info from me.

My cell, on the other hand, there’s only so much of it you can disable before it becomes unusable. And you have to use it. The spyware is the platform. In both cases.

I’ve largely recovered from the american diet after colon probs, overweight, high bp, chloesterol, hypoglyicimic. I lost 50lbs under medical supervision, kept it off couple yrs now w good food. It can be done.

There is so much going on in that image. Layer after layer. It made me kinda dizzy.
I knew the threads would be cha0s. I was hoping someone would comment about the image itself. And wow. Hell of a comment. :]

I see no politics here. I see a clickbait article.
Not sure where you are coming from either. Looks like we’ve missed each other completely.
(K. I explained myself better.)

(Ya. I wasn’t clear. Fixed.)
I didn’t get the rules from this dumb article. I don’t quibble with anything the author wrote, but I sure don’t like their writing style. If you read the article, you’d know that, but don’t bother.

Those are the rules your guts want you to follow. That’s what belongs in your diet.

My nutritionist sent me to the bulk bins! Bean soup mixes. Weird black rice. There’s still lots of things I haven’t tried.

I’m not down.
That person was advocating vegetarianism, although the word wasn’t mentioned once in the article. In fact, they even addressed the nutritional and social challenges of vegetarianism, while avoiding the word entirely. Written as such, the article is less than honest. It’s a clickbait tactic.

Here’s the rules. (Edit - This is baisc nutrition, not a summary of the article. I differ from the author in that I would never advocate vegetarianism.)

• Eat food. - Not supplements. Not processed crap. Eat things that can be clearly identified as food.
• Mostly plants. - Ya, your diet is probably upside down. Have one slice of the roast. Eat a heap of veggies. Start eating beans regularly.
• Not too much. - This issue goes away when you start eating a lot of natural fiber. You’re less hungry. People start asking ‘what’s your secret’.

This kind of crap is so common. I’m an old notepad coder, but I’ve worked on modern sites where the code is all modules you load from some dev kit. You don’t write that shit, you call it up. And now we have vibe coders who are even further removed from the actual electrons. You can expect that your data is exposed out there somewhere.

When my guys were doing this stuff, I brought in Google Analytics so we could analyze users’ pathway through the site and tune its effectiveness. It was a truly useful tool that took us beyond what web logs could tell us. The job happened to be a school. With FERPA requirements. My GA work got audited. I passed.

Your assessment makes sense, but some of the mismatched relationships mentioned here sound like they started out unbalanced, and that must be the case. Some couples are clearly doomed much earlier on.

I would so be consigned to fema obama camp panel death with the nazi 100% only solution. Yup. That would be me.

Chill. There was no reason to go off on this guy. And you really did. WTH?

Ya. That’s how I get laid. Bad girls. We ain’t talkin politics.

Mmm. Hmmm. Interesting idea.

Hey, this is a real thing, but it affects us all. If you do office work, you need to get up and move.

That stupid frame at the bottom screws with my eyes. Is it some MC Escher illusion? I really can’t tell if this thing is real.
