I use Vanadium and sometimes DDG or Tor. Mulls a good, hardcore browser as well.

And for vanadium, I use an ad blocking DNS, which is https://dns.adguard.com/dns-query

Isn't perfect but it blocks some ads

I always wondered if I could install a private OS on a smart TV but never found one.

I like Android TVs because I can install f-droid apps on them. Like Cloudstream. I tried to debloat my TV by connecting my laptop to it and running the adb command to remove any bad apps I noticed, but even that's not perfect.

I wanna become an android developer someday and I might look into developing privacy apps focused on Android TVs.

Edit: I removed google play and it's services, so spyware shouldn't be getting updates on my TV and I got it a few years ago now, I think it's ok for privacy right now.

No one ever gets my points. No one can build off grid if they want to because they have to buy the land. It was never like that if we were to go back to the U.S. in the late 1700s.

Property tax and income tax I'm against. But I said that I do believe in governance at the local level, and as long as it's constitutional. So taxes on gas for instance to pave the roads is sorta ok in my book.

In 2008 they knew about this? Holy crap I need to do some research.

Maybe have them pull out the router at the dealership. I think they have to listen to your request. They may argue with you about it and be like "yeah but you won't have internet and all this cool stuff" but yeah whatever people have phones nowadays anyway.

I've talked with socialists before. They had interesting reasons to justify socialism. They talk about how minorities come over the boarder and steal jobs, but claim that it's because the rich hires who works for cheaper, that's why this happens as minorities will work for cheaper. At first, I thought it was an unbeatable argument. But, if it wasn't for such government regulations, more jobs and competition would be available for these people. And if things didn't work out for people, they should just be able to homestead like what people once did.

Some socialists believe that late capitalism has caused our recessions. They see value in work, but not the dollar. My argument is that if it wasn't for the FED causing inflation, things wouldn't be so bad. Woodrow Wilson created a centralized bank, worse thing possible. And we had presidents ban the gold standard to top it all off, that's why money feels useless. If it was a finite currency (like bitcoin aims to be) then I see great value in it.

Honesty, I'd consider myself to be libertarian at the level of federal government. But less libertarian and more constitutionalist the closer to home it gets. I don't necessarily support government, but definitely governance if so to speak.

People like Ted K were definitely smart. He believed we should go back to the Neolithic era in the sense where we have our small local communities with direct democracy. In terms of freedom, and maybe happiness, that's the best option.

Hey just wondering, what communities does revolt have. Any Youtubers on there?

Let's try to elaborate more.

We live under corporatism where the rich have bought out everything. The banks own the land. Big Pharma runs the medical industry. And the military industrial complex runs NATO and such. We call this money lobbying.

It doesn't just affect politicians, even agencies and armies. The FDA and CDC for instance are owned by big pharma. Big pharma lobbies to these agencies to create more regulations, yet, these regulations the agencies make never seem to hurt the big guy, only the smaller companies starting up. They want to kill the competition. That's why medicine and insulin can be so expensive.

Banks like JP Morgan financed the war on terror. We came into the middle east to help their people rebuild, instead, we expanded JP Morgans banks, and drew out the war to finance them better, among many other terrible things.

There could be tons of jobs right now, but people lobby to have regulations crush the smaller guys so few monopolies have power. The government enables the rich.

So, when someone is in poverty, let's ask why from every angle possible. Why can't they have a house? Credit scores, banks owning everything, and blackrock eating up the housing market. Why can't they get a job? Not enough jobs available. Why can't they find food and temporary place to stay? Inflation, which is the silent tax making food more scarce, and no one wanting to give the poor a place to stay and help them get off their feet and become independent.

When you see all of these things, you realize that the powers that be don't want us to be self sufficient and independent from them. I don't see it as just "housing codes." More as government control. Think of the banks as the king, and the government as it's military.
