I explicitly wanted a google one, not some Samsung-shit who add their own garbage on top of Google’s garbage.

Samsung TVs run Tizen which is their own OS, rather than a skinned Android TV. It’s pretty minimal so you need some other box or stick if you want a good watching experience, but it doesn’t do anything hostile as long as you turn the tracking bs off at setup, and there are no ads in the UI (at least on the 2019 model my parents have).

There’s no truly open source TV OS though :( I miss Firefox OS

Honestly, good for you. I switched about a year and a half ago after using Windows literally all my life (well, from when I was 5 years old in primary school anyway).

Never looking back. I now know what a good PC experience is like. One that doesn’t bombard you with ads for its own browser and requests to track you every time it stops in the middle of what you were doing to force an update that only makes your experience worse.

I personally use Nobara on my main PC and OpenSuse on my laptop, but whatever you go with, I wish you a good time. (And know that if you don’t, there’s always a distro out there that will fit your usage better!)

Ok but how fluffy is the mash? It’s gotta be fluffy not too liquidy. Also did you try adding some garlic and tobasco to the mash? That’s how you make perfect mash IMO.

You do you tho, I’m not here to dictate your life.

(Also I might be a teensy bit tipsy so don’t take me at face value)

I remember trying the Android TV 14 image a while ago and it was basically unusable as you describe, the new Android TV 15 image has fixed virtually all those issues for me. YMMV but IMO it’s worth experimenting and seeing if it works for you, there’s a chance I just got lucky though

I’m currently using a raspberry pi 5 flashed with Konstakang’s Android TV image, it works pretty flawlessly and takes less than an hour to set up, assuming you have the APKs of everything you want to install. You don’t need to mess around with Google play services because most TV android apps are also designed to run on firesticks which don’t have it.

The one issue I have encountered is that the Jellyfin client very occasionally won’t play some 4k HDR media in the default player (all my 1080p stuff works fine) so I also installed MPV and I turn on alternative player in the Jellyfin settings in the rare case something doesn’t work.

Zen is based on Firefox, it supports 100% of firefox addons, as well as supporting its own community mods system for changing the browser itself

• When the lines hit your eye
• And it makes a big tri
• That’s Pythagoras

Ok the last line needs some work

Zen is literally the best browser around right now, I do understand the UI isn’t for everybody but if you vibe with it, it rocks

It won’t save us on its own, not even close, but imo that tech will 100% be needed if we want to reduce the impact of climate change. Even if we stopped burning fossil fuels this very second we’d still need to suck a whole lot of carbon out of the atmosphere to get things back on track. Trying to capture carbon while we’re still emitting is like trying to bail out the titanic with a teaspoon.

It’s also a complete strawman argument, right wingers instantly bring it up when discussing trans people’s basic right to exist, as if all trans people are trying to become professional athletes. They also conveniently forget that trans men exist when trying to argue their point.

I use sunshine and moonlight using a pi 5 running Android TV as the client. It works perfectly for the occasional video stream but latency for games is a bit rough. You’ll probably be fine playing something relaxed like Stardew Valley but platformers (I’ve tried Ultimate Chicken Horse) and racing games (Mario Kart Wii running in Dolphin) are just bad enough to be unplayable. This is with both devices connected over Ethernet (albeit through a powerline adapter and my router is fairly cheap) so WiFi will probably be worse.

Not sure if sunshine and moonlight just have loads of overhead or if there’s a part of my setup causing the latency.

learning online is way more effective and efficient.

Take it from someone who was at university during the pandemic, noooo it is not

From what other people have said and from the occasional video that’s popped up on Youtube, Discord has a library of CSAM content that its automated systems match against and there are certain individuals that try to bait people to post seemingly innocent pictures that are actually frames from said videos. Discord’s systems see that the image is a frame from such material and will auto-ban the account

I learned python from codecademy back in the day, are they still around? I remember their examples/course being very interactive and completely free
