James R Kirk@startrek.websiteOPto Linux@lemmy.ml•What are my OS options if I wanted to disconnect my TV from the internet, use it's remote via CEC with a Raspberry Pi, and watch Plex, Jellyfin and YouTube (with sponsorblock)?English1·5 小时前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.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Saw this ad - what do we know about Cape?English1511·1 小时前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.

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.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@programming.dev•Aurora immutable KDE Plasma workstation big, slow, confusingEnglish3·1 天前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.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@programming.dev•Linus Torvalds Lashes Out At RISC-V Big Endian PlansEnglish6·1 天前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
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteOPto Android@lemmy.world•If I wanted to donate a few dollars a month to the future development of a phone OS that will allow users to continue "sideloading". What is your recommendation, and why?English1·2 天前This comment said:
It’s not the OS that need to be supported it’s the phone who’s manufacturer isn’t contractually bound by Google to implement developer verification for blocking installation, otherwise they lose access to Google’s proprietary suite including Play Store.
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.

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteOPto Android@lemmy.world•If I wanted to donate a few dollars a month to the future development of a phone OS that will allow users to continue "sideloading". What is your recommendation, and why?English1·2 天前Ok thanks, as someone else explained to me the real issue is that Google is blocking device makers from allowing other OSs to be installed (but oddly Google devices aren’t among them).
It seems fairphone is the only option right now but Graphene doesn’t have a release for them.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteOPto Android@lemmy.world•If I wanted to donate a few dollars a month to the future development of a phone OS that will allow users to continue "sideloading". What is your recommendation, and why?English3·2 天前Thanks for explaining, I didn’t realize it was so device specific. I just assumed if you had an ARM computer you could install an OS the same way if you have a larger computer like a laptop you can.
So adjusting the question- where in your opinion should I put money? Fairphone? I notice Graphene doesn’t have a release for their devices.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteOPto Android@lemmy.world•If I wanted to donate a few dollars a month to the future development of a phone OS that will allow users to continue "sideloading". What is your recommendation, and why?English2·3 天前I understand. Graphene seems like the best place to invest. It’s a shame they are available on so few devices.

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