When I blocked my #LGTV from connecting with #LG servers, they disabled my use of apps.
Well LG, fuck you.
I tried every #foss option: #plasmabigscreen #Waydroid have a lot of potential but need polish, had #kodi existed when Dante wrote Inferno, I'm sure he would've named it as the tenth level.
After a fair bit of work I set up a replacement with #Nuvio (flatpak is an alpha release but it has more polish than stremio) and #Materialious
Steam for big picture mode, wish it was PBS though.

@nprofile…8d0p @nprofile…86nn oh no no, that fucking sucks, I hate folding phones. If there's not an option for a slab it's gonna be a hard pass for me.
Someone, please ask Luca Rossi to get us a new thinkphone.
FFS, Why is it so hard to get a phone that doesn't suck these days? No headphone jacks, no storage expansio or replaceable batteries, nothing on the market has decent DAC since LG exited the market.
And I was so, so looking forward to not having to buy another Pixel.

@nprofile…v9wr consider that as you're a Foss developer, your threat model is actually elevated. You specifically may not be a direct target, if members of the diaspora community or critical infrastructure operator use any code you contribute to. Then there's a real risk of becoming a supply chain attack vector for any group that relies on your code or expertise.
At the least take stock of your security and secret management, if for no other reason than to reduce potential harm to end users.

@nprofile…59kg exclusive Apple user since 1985, ditched to Linux and Android.
If I may suggest, first get a Pixel so that you can try several Android ROMs, particularly GrapheneOS which others have recommended. It was the only one my banking app worked with(YMMV) and they've committed to never doing age verification.
If you have lots of friends and family with Apple Stockholm Syndrome(edit: ASS, how did I not see it?), then also check out openbubbles.

@nprofile…n7wm @nprofile…px8j the first Moto phone that you can install GOS on hasn't been released yet. As per the linked article, no existing Moto handset meets GOS' stringent hardware requirements. Moto is likely doing this to address it's massive security and support shortcomings. GOS needs more hardware options than Google, reliance on pixel hardware is a single point of failure, and a huge liability for the platform.

@nprofile…qcga @nprofile…xs7v we need more Linux focused hardware reviews for artists. We need to show that serious artists do use Linux and that we need performant stylus and multitouch support and professional colour support.

@nprofile…8xaf I would definitely love to have a proper framework tablet, with wacom stylus support, booting @nprofile…05jc
Since I'm already here dreaming.
A Framework phone with support for #linuxmobile and #GrapheneOS maybe a collaboration with @nprofile…wjr9 and community supported expansion modules.

@npub1ywy…cksd back in the day we used to repack our mixtapes into children’s “story time” cassettes. Think Sesame Street adventure cassette with Bay Area Hip Hop, or GI Joe with some Punk on it. That head cleaner would’ve made a good home for some Parker/Davis bebop.

@npub1su4…a0dw well, I guess an extra $30 for glow in the dark is better than the 100% (or more) markup from the eBay scalpers for a regular one.

@npub1su4…a0dw Ah yes, the company that brought you the memory stick and promoted it for years after the MP3 player nuked removable media music players from orbit, bringing another ill-conceived product for a minuscule market.

@npub12ty…vnqc @npub120z…33r2 I definitely think admins should be able to easily monetise instances. I haven’t looked into hosting an instance in a while, but the last time I did I declined to do so because unfortunately I couldn’t see how it wouldn’t end up being an costly distraction.

@npub188q…3jlx @npub1tjc…2uuv don’t forget to include the MS surface pro tablets running the Surface Kernel. I use one because I actually NEED a tablet as an input device. There’s a lot of tablets that you can install Linux on, unfortunately they often just become a laptop with some limited touch functionality(if you’re lucky), the Surface Kernel allows for a fully functional device. The guys who develop the Surface Kernel do amazing work and are super helpful.

@npub1su4…a0dw I think it’s past time for an open DIY printer platform. Maybe based around pi-zero, 3D printed parts and some off the shelf alcohol based inks. I bet there’s enough disgruntled former HP/Epson/Canon engineers out there to make this happen. Hey @npub1kcy…fzfa

@npub18p3…03wh okay now I’m really curious, I guess it’s going to be interesting at what level my friends comprehend the subtext. The comparison to fight club hits very close to home, I have too many friends who took up MMA after watching it, and that’s not remotely what that movie/book was about. Don’t get me started on that one friend who still wants to start a soap company, I don’t have the bandwidth to unpack that.

@npub1su4…a0dw I use a few eol chrome boxes for cheap self hosting projects. $20-$40 for a low powered mini computer that can easily upgraded to 16gb memory. Whenever I see articles calling RPi an inexpensive computing option I have to laugh because you can actually buy two or even three chrome boxes for the price of a RPi board, and that’s IF you can find one. Seriously there’s no good reason for google to end support for these devices, still good for browsing and email.

@npub1su4…a0dw I’m guessing “economic hardship” is a euphemism competition.
