I am a member of the European free software foundation, that is 10 bucks per month.

90 to go :)

Netflix needs some fucked up DRM. Without it Netflix will only work in 720p (maybe 1080?) without HDR.

But that is the usual Linux user experience…

As they have an unlocked bootloader, no Netflix certificate.

So, it will work, but with limits

Typo, thanks. Fixed it.

Yes, DuneHD . Pro Vision works well. I use it on a 3D Beamer. ShellyFin in house, plays everything, h264,h265 HDR and 3D content, everything hardware decoded. And this with CoreELEC on it.

Is Open/CoreELEC OK?

Have a look at the DuneHD box. It’s an unlocked android box, CoreELEC support, kann play HDR and 3D content.

That is the cheapest solution I know.

That is great! Finally a list media outlets to consume!

I read quiet a lot about us history. But our viewpoints are different on it.

Also, your political system enables this asshole. He uses your own legislative and political system against you.

You have to make sure to fix this ASAP. I know own it is hard, I know in your the winner takes it all system, and how changes to the constitutions are done that this is hard. Very hard. But what are your options? Give up?

Assume Trump dies on a overdose of lead next week, the next asshole can use the same system to try again.

Just start now to give out an idea to anybody that reaches voting age. Don’t bother about the older ones.

It will take time, but it does not overload your system

Not to long ago we killed millions and wanted world domination. We changed our laws so this does not happen again Because law can be changed

So? The idea itself is not inherently bad. If I want to vote in Germany I go to the local polling station, show my ID (proof if citizenship) and hand over my voting documents (so I can only vote once, also the volunteers will mark me on a list) and I vote. And no, I don’t have to register to vote.

Your problem is that your common way of identifying is your damn drivers license and not an ID card like in nearly every other country.

Not defending this big, orange, walking, talking and shaking with his little hands, asshole. Just saying, not all of your problems are caused by him. Many of them are inherent to your political system.

I am talking about the global phenomenon. Something like rox news does not exist here in Germany for example.

We always had right wing propaganda. But now we have social media too. And that produced a confirmation cycle. The propaganda channels spew lies, people spread does lies on social media, and the media cam say “look, there, normal people on X say the same thing, it must be true”.

And of course, also the other way around

There are some studies. Mostly behind pay Walls. A good source I found a while back was this meta study.

Social media is to blame, at least in huge parts.

It offers a platform for unproven claims, and especially the short content formats are an issue:

You can not cover important topics fairly in those formats. Only populism can profit from it. And the far right does this.

We reached a point where people don’t believe the published agendas of candidates and parties anymore. They only trust what the hear and see on social media.

Of course there are other factors, but this is an important one.

I feared as much.

It is getting late over here, so thanks for the great discussion!

Amd I wish you good look in a few weeks. Feeling with you over there

I see your point. But that is such a toxic environment, and as you mentioned this can be observed from a far, that I would assume many prefer to stay under the radar to be able to at least something and not thrown under the bus by other Republicans.

Having more parties solves this part of the issue. And if the MAGA party or the Republicans end up with more votes is a completely different thing. And a thing I am scared to think about

Exactly. And there comes in the issue: if you want to vote conservative you have to take the far right bullshit. There is no in between. There is no “conservative without that nazi bullshit”. So, if they could separate bit still have some power in the sense of seats in the parliaments, would that impact the political landscape?

Anyway, the US is stuck with American voters. So I’m glad our election system enforces patience.

I take that ;)

But srsly, it is not voters or voting system. It is both.

Imagine there would be a MAGA party with equal chances like the Reps, how would that change the policies of those parties? And would this influence the voters behavior? That is not a rethoric question, it is a thought play. I, as an outsider, would assume that the extreme right wingers would unite under the MAGA flag and their policies would adapt accordingly while the Republicans would go back to their kind of normal.

Thanks. That was my rough assumption. And that worries me. While I am not a US citizen, the USA have such immense power that yout politics affect people around the world. From privacy and data protection to the simple fact if we leave in peace or in war.

I understand it is a big issue. And I hope you find a way to change that.

He got abortion rights overthrown, handled the pandemic so badly, that the rest of the world laughed at the US, and got himself and his family richer by talking money and presents from foreign powers.

Your argument boils down to: in the US political system it is hard to change anything and therefore we are protected from “worse”? Does this argument still stand with the supreme court ruling about presidential immunity and trumps statements about dictator on day one or “you never have to vote again”? Project 25?

So, in my country we are moving towards a livable feature for citizens, in your country you are stuck with a system that only benefits the wealthy. And every approach that could change that will be undermjnedby right wing lunatics and their donors.

In the US the fucking right wing has 50% in the polls. What are you talking about?

~50% of the people ate voting for a lying, narcissistic Nazi. One of your supreme courts justices took "presents " from someone who has a hitler singed version of “Mein Kampf” in his possession. Right besides ohter Nazi memorabilia.

And your concern is, that it would be easier for a right wing minority to gain power? You have a right wing majority.

We ate shoked over here in Germany that our far right has more then 20% in election results. Your far right has 50% and one of your presidential candidates represents them.

I can understand that
