Your brain was never designed for this much bad news

So for those style websites, FreshRSS (my server)/and CabyReader (my client) offer options to parse the linked article for content.

They mostly get the full article without tinkering but other sites I use css selectors to get the article section of the website.

Then I press the "parse" button if the article is just a summary and it'll get the whole article.

That said, I do put more emphasis on following individuals rather than large sites like those you mentioned. So I have a couple dozen individual blogs followed, but also a handful of sites like NewScientist, BigThink, AndroidPolice, TinyBuddha, VICE

Amazon Fire Sticks enable “billions of dollars” worth of streaming piracy

To be frank it's not Amazon's problem.

Its the content publishers problem.

And Amazon isn't enabling this, they're just making an Android device.

The users are putting software onto the device.

This article sets a dangerous precedent. That if Amazon doesn't lock the firestick down like Apple that they're enabling piracy.

Its not Googles nor Microsoft's responsibilities either. They helped, probably solely for money, but they're not obligated to continue to update their DRM.

This article should have framed how DRM repeatedly hasn't worked.

incomprehensible rule

Ill never forget how Nintendo switched Link to right handed for Twilight Princess on the Wii because it made for a "more immersive experience".

Only to find out it was a completely pointless change bc motion controls were pure gimmick in TP. You end up just flicking your wrist like a maniac, and it doesn't matter at all that you're lefty or righty.
