I said that the privacy concerns being worth the cost of a "smart"-free TV means nothing to the majority of people.
You said that this isn't true, and that their main customer is commercial places.
I suggested, in response to this, that the majority of people don't own such commercial places.
What part are you not understanding?
Yes because the majority own/buy TV's commercial places like offices and stadiums.
Because words have consequences. It's not just about "snowflakes", it's also misinformation. Do you not remember what happened during the Covid lockdowns? Do you not remember how Trump gained power?
You are of course free to ignore everything anyone says, unfortunately many people hang onto their every word and before you know it, being trans is now considered a mental illness by a load of people who get to make decisions about what happens to trans people when they need medical care.
Which is an entirely fair compromise for people who use Lemmy, but means precisely nothing to the majority.
At only double the price of an equivalently priced smart one! Bargain ~/s~
Kickback-shifted hubs and coaster brakes have been a thing absolutely forever and they all perform perfectly fine downhill, not sure why this would be any different!
And how exactly does that fix the issue with the client going against the spirit (if not the law) of the GPL?
Even in the States where spaces are generally big enough to accommodate these things they still block sidewalks and park across multiple spaces. People who drive these stupid things are just arseholes
Maybe if people/browser makers didn't bend over to this nonsense, the websites would figure it out. You know, the people who's problem that is (because yes, if you run a website and want to make money off it, that's your problem to fix not mine, and it's certainly not my job to cater to it).
I'm really curious to see what their regular mouse is like purely so I can recommend it to others (The amount of people I show my Classic to and they're immediately put off because it's a ball not a rodent is crazy). Wish there were more to choose from as well but I'm glad at least someone is doing it!
Or if they're a tradesman of some kind, a van
Not interested in any fledgeling platform that doesn't have a fart app, sorry
