Specifically, the Board and thus the CEO must maximize company VALUE not profit.

There are other ways to increase company value that do not necessarily result in Q/Q / Y/Y profit increases.

But in the 1970s you get a guy named Milton Friedman who comes along with the concept of shareholder value in a 1970 essay for The New York Times, entitled “A Friedman Doctrine: The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits”.[5] In it, he argued that a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders.

So there’s been a lot of argument against it since esp as of late, but the economic hegemony still adheres to Friedman’s economic principles.

I’ve purchased 7 games from them over the years, and my friends others. No issues. Started in 2014 with my last being in 2021.

I think it’s more an existentialist response than an indictment of Binghamton:

“Everybody has to have a hometown, Binghamton’s mine. In the strangely brittle, terribly sensitive make-up of a human being, there is a need for a place to hang a hat or a kind of geographical womb to crawl back into, or maybe just a place that’s familiar because that’s where you grew up. When I dig back through memory cells, I get one particularly distinctive feeling—and that’s one of warmth, comfort and well-being. For whatever else I may have had, or lost, or will find—I’ve still got a hometown. This, nobody’s gonna take away from me.” —Rod Serling

Remote control over your phone or using a Xbox controller like if it were a console. Back in the day I had an htpc remote but ability to control apps is inconsistent.

For me nothing is more simple then a PC interface. I hate having to scroll using a TV remote it takes so long to do anything and it’s quite limiting in other ways.

Stremio/Plex with a Microsoft keyboard that has a touchpad built in. It’s big but you can get small ones off Amazon for $20

Same. Seems like overkill when you can see what it can do. But also at that price you can velcro it to the back of your tv and it can literally do anything so have at. I don’t see a lot of better options. I use full computers personally.

N100 mini PC imo. $150 does everything.

You misunderstand. They’re calculating a fingerprint that identifies you across sessions despite you changing up a bunch of values on your browser with an extension because that’s all highly detectable. They know it’s junk data they don’t use it. It actually is worse because you stop blending in with the crowd.

You’re better off blending in then trying to look unique with every visit. The latter is a flawed concept.

Read the arkenfox guide they get into it. Most extensions just reduce your ability to blend in to the crowd and thus should be avoided.

Your extension might make you MORE finger-printable. Advanced fingerprinting scripts can detect lies told by extensions.

If you’re actually interested in reducing your fingerprint you should read the arkenfox guide which leverages built in features from firefox. You’ll see very quickly that if someone wants to fingerprint you it’s trivial and there’s little you can do short of TOR.

Arkenfox is a set of Firefox flags.

Librewolf/mule is essentially pre-packaged Firefox w/arkenfox and some things stripped out.

The devs work informally on it which is why some releases lag. Like the jump to v128 lagged on mule because Firefox switched the way their repo worked and mull is based off of the Firefox source with some build scripts to change the logo, branding and add arkenfox settings by default.

The flags used by Arkenfox are largely funded by the tor project as they work to upstream many of the tor browser changes back into Firefox which enables efficiency for future tor builds.

This benefits everyone as the privacy preserving features of tor can be used off of the tor network too.

Getting you to feel like your vote is meaningless is how they win.

Wdym? It’s open source.

You know user.js is just Firefox about:config flags built into Firefox from the tor upscale project…you can literally just do about:config and read the setup. Or read the source.

Heres the repo: https://codeberg.org/librewolf/settings

Heres their default flags https://codeberg.org/librewolf/settings/src/branch/master/librewolf.cfg

As someone who uses ff with a user script I can totally see why someone would want the convenience of this built in out of the box. We can have both. And a person can use both.

It’s no mistake that the NES/SNES were held onto for a long time. Literally some of the most popular consoles ever…much like the switch.

Switch lite and OLED version to extend it’s life and people ate that up. New buyers buying for the first time, old buyers re-buying the same console basically. Big Brain stuff.

Are you gatekeeping gatekeeping now?

It does this by default.

Yea, prolly already using it.
