The thing is, they care about privacy and such, but don’t know about tech really 😅 otherwise I would have gotten the easy route.

I know multiple people like this though.

In your case you should probably give plasma Bigscreen a try depending your hardware.

If you don’t mind a keyboard, I will say Ubuntu ran surprisingly well, but consider a lightweight browser unless you have 8gb + of RAM

Absol? (j)

Well, on a raspberry pi 4 4gb, no. It’s very sluggish.

Maybe on a 5 with 8gb?

The next device I was going to test though is an Odroid C4 (4gb).

I’m currently going to meet with Bliss Rom creators to discuss getting Netflix etc working on Android as well in a sandboxed manner that still gives 1080p (maybe standard Android though with Flauncher instead of Android TV)

It’s tricky to have a privacy friendly device that can also run mainstream, well, streaming clients.

I’m making this to make an easy to use box that works with a plain IR sensor remote for my parents (along with a customized Rustdesk client app in case they need help).

If that’s not a problem though (like you want to use Radarr/Lidarr) then you can just a Lineage OS version of Android TV, although it seems Konstakang’s version has issues with audio over HDMI on Android 12 and above.

I think it supports Galaxy S9

I’ve been working on what you want basically for awhile now. But currently what I’ve come with is:

Plasma Bigscreen with Waydroid (and instead of Newpipe I’d recommend Stube instead in Waydroid).

If you do want 1080p for Netflix etc for whatever reason, basically sandboxed Firefox with DRM enabled with (streaming service website) turned into a Webapp

Not really. You have to provide your own business ID in order to not be charged VAT, and they gets noticed and registered.

You’ll have to then explain why the Ferrari, specifically, was a business expense. If the tax administration doesn’t think it’s a good reason, you then have to pay the VAT anyway.

And don’t even get me started on the fucking bureaucratic stupidity that is importation or I’ll have to take my blood pressure medication.

How many be bots tho

Nah, they just made the triangle bigger with AI (/s)

You should try Claude and give it an image of the salute, since it can see.

Maybe while using a VPN that shows your location as Germany, just in case they’re tampering with things in the USA.

That you still say he’s not publicly a Nazi says everything.

Nah, but I can live with knowing I at least tried to stop literal Nazis from gaining absolute power.

Can you say the same?

Leftists don’t let Nazis get into power, even if it means dealing with corporatists some more years.

You’re not a leftist. You did nothing to avoid the farthest of the right-wing from gaining possibly absolute power. You did nothing to keep things leftward, or even center right - you just allowed the fascists to take over without a struggle.

You’re not the resistance, you’re not a helper, you’re not leftist; you’re nothing.

Email alias?

So, I don’t know as much as you do, but I’m wondering; if it’s that bad, why did it ever get popular? It’s not like people who write/program/maintain/deploy Linux aren’t usually very knowledgeable. They’re usually experts and computer scientists. It seems to me, at least, if it’s that bad, it would have never been adopted so widely? Is Systemd pulling a Microsoft and bribing people or something?

It’s funny you think there will be legitimate elections in 4 years. I mean Republicans are already pushing ways to give Trump a third term. So like, congrats on having Gaza screwed even harder while simultaneously throwing away any semblance of democracy?

At least the corporate corrupt Dems gave a small window for changing things democratically while not screwing over Trans people in the USA as well.

By abstaining you allowed the greater evil to prevail, not prevented any evil from occuring.
