I agree with this! Each server can have radically different approaches to moderation depending on their goals and some instances will a much higher tolerance than others. “Community” puts the local first.

This quote from Ford’s CEO:

“It’s going to be a vibrant industry, but it’s going to be smaller, way smaller than we thought,” Ford chief executive Jim Farley said at an event on Tuesday.

Combined with the following quote he recently said:

Speaking on the Everything Electric Show podcast, Farley praised the [Xiaomi] electric sedan. “I don’t like talking about the competition so much, but I drive a Xiaomi,” he said. “We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago, and I’ve been driving it for six months now, and I don’t want to give it up.”

Really feels like Kodak in the 90’s kinda-sorta investing in digital but not willing to fully transform a majority of business.

Ah ok I got it thanks, yes the goal is to replace the apps on my TV as seamlessly as possible.

KDE bigscreen says it supports CEC but there is no official release yet. I still might give it a shot. I actually tried the Android TV you linked to (which also says it supports CEC) but it doesn’t work. I know the hardware supports it because Libelec was seamless.

You’re saying wayland is an interface that works with tv remotes and hdmi-cec? I looked it up and it seems to be not that.

I mentioned in the post that I did try LibreELEC but the Plex plugin is very buggy and there is no functioning youtube plugin.

Uh, he confirmed in a reply that he had no evidence and was deciding based on faith alone.

I can’t believe I need to explain to someone that claiming you don’t need evidence to declare something to be true is faith based on vibes. Tiktok has truly broken the younger generations brains.

This is depressing. Trial by vibes. I’m going to live in the woods.

Thanks, I found a LineageOS build of Android TV I’m currently trying to get it up and running. CEC seems like it might be broken however which would sadly be a dealbreaker.

Something can’t be both “100%” and vibes based lol

Unless you mean “I am 100% basing the following opinion on vibes”.

You need evidence. Please don’t respond with more vibes.

Thanks yes I found one here: https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi5/LineageOS22-ATV/

Oh cool, thanks, it works with hdmi-cec? Android is not an issue exactly, I basically just want something to replace my TV “apps” but without ads and more private.

EDIT: did not fully read the comment. I have a raspbnerry pi.

I looked into Aurora after seeing it recommended here but it is basically the same as Kinoite. I tried both and couldn’t tell the difference so I stuck with the more “official” one from Fedora

my question is, does it really matter doing all of that before deleting when it comes to privacy?

It doesn’t hurt to be thorough but FWIW they say it will be deleted:

What happens if I permanently delete my Facebook account?

Your profile, photos, posts, videos, and everything else you’ve added will be permanently deleted. You won’t be able to retrieve anything you’ve added.

Tell people to just talk to their therapists instead. That’s much more productive.

I’m just going to say it: 50% of foss projects wouldn’t exist if their devs could afford therapy

If you’re only watching subscriptions and not scrolling the generated feeds, you could presumably run tubearchivist through a VPN and then watch via Jellyfin or Plex (there are plugins).

It will not only be private but it has sponsorblock.

I fully agree with this comment. Aurora (or Fedora Kinoite, very similar) is the first Linux I have been able to use full time. It should feel familiar and like a breath of fresh air to a longtime windows user. Immutability allows me to tinker without feeling overwhelmed.

Haven’t tried Bazzite but my understanding is that it works just fine as a deskop OS too!

If these catch on (unlikely imo) it’s only a matter of time before I have an awkward interaction with someone when they come into my house wearing them…

Sometimes I am still amazed that street safety managed to become another culture war issue.
