This isn’t coming out of slow motion. iOS slows down audio too and none of the audio here is ramped.

I don’t think it requires iCloud or anything else apple. I’m not sure how “casting” works if you have a non-Apple mobile device, but that’s the only issue I can think of. Jellyfin works (I think it is called swiftfin) as well as Infuse. I also use Tailscale to watch things on my Apple TV from my NAS.

Theres probably some Roku specific blocklists out there, but I got tired of playing whack a mole with all the new connections every week when I had my Roku. My partner also just wanted to watch tv without me fiddling with filters constantly, so I swapped to an Apple TV. It’s been nearly perfect with adguard (it even stops all ads on Hulu).

Just to prevent you from falling to your own outdated claim, here's a correction or two:

Window snapping and arranging windows in the corners is a thing now (and with hotkeys too, a million years late- I had to look this up since I've been using Rectangle for a long time)

Some mac laptops have HDMI ports. If you get a mac without an HDMI port, it's in apple's "paperweight class" of machines and shouldn't be bought. Macbook Airs are just expensive mac flavored chromebooks.

The repairability sucks, but I still use my 2014 macbook pro daily because it still works really well (though those old intel chips make the fans go wild even after repasting everything and cleaning the fans). I was able to buy a cheapo replacement battery off ebay and it's working great after a fairly tedious process of using IPA and dental floss to release the old battery. It is no longer supported by apple through software, though I use OpenCore legacy patcher to update to the newest system so I don't have to worry about an old system without security updates connecting to the internet. I've tried installing various Linux distros on it and none of them are very happy with the process. Most of the time it's the stupid broadcom wifi chip and other times only a single speaker works and I'm too much of a dunce to troubleshoot things like that. Tails OS becomes nearly useless on an old macbook because of the broadcom issue. But also, I'm not about to go buy a thinkpad just so linux will work properly- I don't need more devices in my house, I'll just use what I already have.

Adguard on my router has apple services at 7% of all blocked domains in the last 24 hours (545 times). Adobe is 14% in that same window (1135 times). I hate it here.

I’ve never actually gotten the App Store “Tor browser” working tbh. I also don’t bother with Firefox because it doesn’t feel meaningfully different. I get by with privacy, malware, and advertisement blocking from my router while using SearXNG. It’s definitely not the best for privacy, but honestly, just getting rid of google maps from my life has been such a pain in the ass it’s hard to delve further.

Firefox and Tor browser exist (on the App Store) though they might both run on the safari “engine”, I’m not too sure. AltStore is technically an App Store alternative, though it is extremely limited and kind of a pain. File management is available with the default Files app.

After reading the lack of consensus in the comments, I'll just be over here using decimal time, confusing everyone around me. ;)

Year is the most significant (read: big) unit in the list, but it is the least significant (pertinent to daily life) unless you're a time traveler. Of month and day, month is more significant than day in both size and pertinence, so it gets ordered first. But when sorting things into folders or file naming conventions, biggest category descending down to smaller categories is always the best.

This just guarantees dropping nuclear bombs so long as it's just the one guy who pressed the button who will go to court.

Tone deaf is pleading to people to vote for those directly responsible for genocide even though their families are being killed because you want to remain relatively comfy in your own country, reaping the benefits of the colonialism you desperately wished was pushed back into the shadows so you can go about your life unaware of the harm you cause.

For a 3rd party to win, another party has to die. (See Republicans taking over the Whigs for their silence on slave states).

So, if you can get on board with that premise, which modern party of the republicans or democrats do you believe closer to destruction due to their voters abandoning them?

Republican voters seem generally happy with the people they vote for unless some specific policy starts affecting them in a way that Fox News can’t sufficiently spin.

Democratic voters seem to be voting against republicans more than for someone they really believe in.

Now, I’m not into incrementalism or reformism, but if you are, it might make sense to try to put as much electoral pressure on democrats as possible to either try to make them massively shift OR to prove to millions of democratic voters that the party would rather lose than capitulate, causing a mass loss of trust in the party, causing change (presumably).

I’m not sure I’d assume 3rd party voters are all aligned on what they want or expect out of voting 3rd party. Maybe some of them think they could win, but I don’t think I’ve met anyone who thinks that.
