Im not very computer savvy and currently only have a tablet and a mac mini from 2008.

My tv is dumb. The roku is the device that connects to the internet.

I emailed them to let them know I cancelled Disney+ and cited this specific ad and advertisement campaign through Roku as to why I cancelled the service.

Let’s make the companies who advertise this way feel pain.

Im literally willing to ditch the device and cancel all streaming services because of this. When I turn on my TV I don’t want to be forced to consume ads when I haven’t been provided with anything in return.

You mean the car they have been paying down on? That’s less expensive

Space X should be nationalized

No, it was a Chinese subcontractor using Chinese labor.

There was a construction company BYD contracted out of China to bring Chinese workers to construct a factory in Brazil. It was shut down by Brazilian labor authorities for “slavery like” conditions and treatment if the Chinese workers.

That seems to be source for that claim.

During shutdown one church had a laptop on the lectern as the priest had been exposed to Covid through their husband and did the service over zoom to the congregation at home

The poster above you provided a link.BYD contracted a Chinese construction firm to build a factory in Brazil that the Brazilian labor authorities shuttered over the slave like working conditions.

All of my family’s churches stream services on youtube. Most started during COVID and never stopped.

Source on slave labor at BYD?

I wish I was 35. 2009 was still somehow a better year

When you age you always look at your previous self as dumber than your current self even if that isn’t true.

Teens also rarely have finished schooling so from a literal standpoint teens tend to not be as capable because they are learning still.

Honestly as an older person it very much feels like a lot of Lemmy is under 25. It’s the little things like not understanding the historical context that something from the past fits in while simultaneously telling me Im wrong about the time that I lived through.

I like that the top comment went from “there are too many communities I want just one” to “Im joining to make it better for others”.
