    If you use Google TV, this will come as a shock. I assume Amazon will
    follow suit.

    They want to control everything. I use various tricks to bypass premium services, but I expect they will have blocked them all by 2026. I refuse
    to get a TV licence or pay for premium services like Netflix. I like to
    make the most of my broadband because I am paying for it. I get all the
    TV channels and more.

    I was going to say, 'I'm not surprised'; but instead I'll say, "Why are
    YOU surprised?!"

    Take your damn streaming crap to the proper group.

    The average Firefox user knows nothing about 'sideloading' and doesn't
    give a damn about it. They're here to solve a Firefox problem, not a
    streaming problem. Undisciplined assholes like yourselves who will not
    follow the content rules of newsgroups have destroyed group after
    group

    So you're just another entitled Brit Git (and others so minded) who
    wishes to access content without recognition of performing rights...

    If you give me your date of birth, I can create a personalised square
    for you to help you relax and relieve stress, as demostrated in your post above. It will improve your health and reduce your stress and anger
    levels. You can see what the square looks like in this picture:

    <https://i.imgur.com/kwACYEH.png>

    The square has special properties: All rows, All columns, both
    diagonals, all 4 corners and even 4 inner numbers all add up to the same number = 137.

    Even 8 + 19 + 90 + 20 = 137

    Even: 18 + 5
    21 + 93


    Have a nice day, and stop Nym-shifting! I can decode your IP address.
