Oh yeah, to be clear I don’t think Freakonomics is worth listening to, but trying to draw a link between the views of a single host and community funded media at large is not honest.

Attempting to discredit trusted orgs like NPR is a long beloved conservative tactic

You’re falsely linking two different things, Freakonomics never connected the superpredator myth to abortion, just crime.

It’s also disingenuous to imply that Stephen Dubner (a libertarian) could speak for the views of every single NPR affiliate. It doesn’t work that way.

“Astroturfed” implies an appearance of a grassroots campaign, here the dev has connections to wealthy people who give him money, that’s really all there is to it.

Many Lemmy instances are essentially unmoderated and inevitably devolve into 4chan. Always report the problem users to your admins. If they notice a lot of reports from a certain instance they’ll (hopefully) defederate eventually.

I think the dev just has connections and the people donating don’t understand what they’re giving to.

Yeah but even then, it’s an extremely niche distro and 99.9% of Linux users using a password manager service are using bitwarden/vaultwarden. It just doesn’t make sense.

That stood out to me too. It comes preinstalled with Omarchy so thats something but also Omarchy has like, a thousand daily active users so even that doesn’t sit right.

“I’m harassing you for different reasons than the Kiwi Farms people are” is not the moral high ground you think it is.

You Kiwi Farms freaks need to update your wiki because /u/AdmiralPartick is deleted long ago. This is the main account, not an alt.

I think the newer raspberry Pis have CEC so if someone goes that route they wouldn’t even need a second remote

Edit: or just get a CEC adapter probably

I haven’t tested it but Plasma Bigscreen has apparently made a lot of progress, too.

You’re really going to argue with The Guy On YouTube??

I’m no fan of slop but I’m not going to stab myself in the eyes to avoid looking at it. That’s what the slop wants me to do.

Turns out it was scheduled maintenance so not correlated

There is a guy making LineageOS Android TV builds for Raspberry Pi and other devices.

Kodi is basically just a real-debrid frontend these days. There isn’t even a decent YouTube app for it.

Maybe that’s why they’re doing a 40% off special today
