While watching a DVD from the library my TV popped up a message saying to press a button if I wanted to watch this from additional providers.

It’s never done that before so I looked it up and turns out Roku TVs have added all sorts of creepy things in the privacy section since I last checked.

One of which being they take screenshots from what you’re watching and send them to third parties to identify it.

Fucking hell! Remember when every fucking device in your life wasn’t a spy implanted in your home and working against your interests to try and sell your data? Remember how nice that was??

Remember when the TV was just a tool that would play the things you plugged into it?

Why must the future suck SO much?

For no reason here is a library story

There will be millions of actions like this over the coming years. An important thing to remember is that for them to work (anywhere, not just libraries) is people absolutely can’t announce that this is what they are doing.

Not seeing constant acts of resistance doesn’t mean it isn’t happening all around you all the time. Some very effective methods require silence and secrecy.

Something to keep in mind.

This was filmed at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which rescues, rehabilitates, and releases orphaned elephants in Kenya (among other conservation efforts). Charity Navigator has given it a 4/4 star rating, and you can make donations here or “adopt” a baby elephant here.

THANK YOU FOR THIS IMPORTANT ADDITION.

I have enjoyed this video so much and am very happy to share ways to help the babies!!

That man held it in until he knew for a fact that they’d need another take anyway, and not a moment less.
