Wtf is wrong with these government people? We're currently undergoing the single greatest period in Internet hacking and they're debating this? Every day all I hear about now is this was hacked and that was compromised online, and these people want to weaken security for their citizens, for what? A couple big photo ops while risking the info of 40 million people. Not a good trade-off. Plus, making the companies store this data, sensitive info, just is asking for hackers to steal and exploit it. The companies won't improve their security for the government. It's not a profitable undertaking.

    I'm not American and I'm not visiting until I'm sure it's no longer fascist. America is not my responsibility. It's the responsibility of Americans, and I don't see anything responsible happening down south at all.

    There must be millions of citizens affected by Trump policies now, and there's been two sad assassination attempts only. That's what I'm getting at. Where's the disgruntled ex military guy, or the no more Medicare guy? They're all absent. I'm not asking family men and women to get results.

    So you feel the punishment for extreme cruelty to millions of Americans is tar and feather? Created policies to kill Americans and execute them? Tar and feather. Let millions die from covid and lack of medical care, tar and feather.

    What are you, the DNC? You match your opponent and destroy them at their own game. Slaps on the wrist have never been adequate. No wonder Democrats are always taken advantage of. You're pussies.

    I hear what you say, growing up in similar environments. Humans have always been oppressed by other humans when they're allowed to. The only reason we ever had freedom is because we bled and fought for it. America will need to bleed for this to be solved. Trump is ready to be violent and oppressive. The people need to be that back, but in much greater numbers to match and overwhelm.

    What you say can be avoided, but it needs millions marching with guillotines to get back on track and avoid. There will be no peaceful transfer of power, and I think we can all see that.

    I wish it were different. I truly do.

    In a just world that would be more than enough. Sadly Trump's America isn't just anymore. It's extreme. What it sounds like to me is you're preparing for war, while i Trump is actively waging war.

    Would I do more than you are now? No. But I have much to lose and people who depend on me and I can't actively resist. Were I to find myself with inoperable cancer, or at my end, family deported etc, I'm not sure with anything to lose I could say I'd be inactive. That's what most surprises me about Americans now, is that there's so few people willing to go to the extremes when they have nothing to lose. It boggles my mind actually.

    In principle, I would agree, but that almost always ends up not resulting in proper justice, magnitude wise. These people don't deserve peace, ever. They deserve suffering, and justice never allows criminals to suffer.

    Democrats need to set such a strong example that no one ever wants to try it again. Justice doesn't do this. Sadly. :(

    Hello and happy holidays!

    I've recently made the switch to Linux and I'm looking for a headset with 7.1 surround sound that'll also work with my PS5. I'm ok to switch to any distro as some won't work as well as others with the sound drivers. I'm currently using PopOS.

    I did some research and even asked at a computer store but I found it difficult to get a reliable answer on a good set. I'd also like wireless and I'm ok with a usb over Bluetooth connection.

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a great headset that'll work with what I'm looking for? Hunting for Linux things is certainly harder than that crappy os I switched from, but I know it's worth it.

    Thank you!

    Linux on my smart tv? (media.piefed.social)
     

    I have been rather unhappy with my smart TV's functionality as I feel it isn't smart for me but smart for the manufacturers. I just can't use it how I want to. I would love to overwrite the existing OS from Android to Linux. I've recently converted from Windows and loving Mint.

    I haven't read too much regarding Linux smart tvs as my searches mostly come up with raspberry Pi and overwriting an Android box. I don't want to connect anything and just want my tv to boot up in Linux when it's turned on, and get some of my apps going. Is there a way to do this?

    For reference I have a Sony Bravia with Android installed on it.
