Modern Android TV box with a custom launcher. Apparently Projectivity launcher is decent.

But if you already have a Shield that’s cool keep it until it stops working. I’m just not gonna tell anyone to go buy one.

Because it’s end of lifespan and you should spend your money on something that will at least get a few years of support and updates

Yeah but I wouldn’t recommend anyone go and buy one at this point.

Use a separate, not ad-riddled device plugged in via HDMI. If you have a game console it can do this.

I don’t know what’s good for Android TV boxes it used to be the NVIDIA Shield was a well regarded streaming device but it’s really old now. Google makes one (Google TV Streamer) and you can install a custom launcher if you’re a bit technical and the “suggested content” of the stock launcher bothers you. Same for other Android TV boxes.

Apple, like them or not, makes a really decent TV box with no system level ads and an interface that mostly stays out of the way.

To be fair if you take a flagship Android that cost similarly to what the pro iPhone cost the iPhone resell value is still usually way higher as the years go on even though the initial prices were the same.

But does it really matter?

Okay rewrite this comment in the style of the Stallman copypasta

When you search for a community just pick the biggest one. Really all there is to it. Honestly reddit had the same issue with similarly named subs

Yeah I don’t get it at all. It’s a non-issue.

Unless you have a reason to otherwise just search for the topic you want and pick the biggest. Just. Like. Reddit.

On Reddit there’s tons of very similar named communities out there it’s fine.

Oh hey thanks for reminding me, freed 5GB which should buy me a bit of time on upgrading the server I use for this lemmy instance.

You’re assuming they actually go to events where wearing a suit is expected, which for many is exceptionally rare.

You generally need to do a background check at a store

But random dude online selling a used one? Nothing. No paperwork. Just give money, get gun. Don’t even need a record of it.

Neither federal law nor Texas law requires private sellers to keep a record when they sell a firearm.

In theory yes. But remember that Chrome is based on Chromium which is open source. But nobody has stepped up to do a viable hard fork to take power away from Google.

Maintaining a modern browser is a huge undertaking which is why almost nobody except Google, Mozilla, and Apple are really even trying. Even Microsoft threw in the towel.

The more bad stuff is added to Firefox the harder it will be for any forks to keep up removing it while also keeping it up to date. Will anyone step up?

Every one of them can, AFAIK. I have a second cheap used phone I picked up to play with Ubuntu Touch and it has a system called Waydroid for this. Not quite seamless and you’ll want to use native when possible but it does work.

SailfishOS, PostmarketOS, Mobian, etc all also can use Waydroid or a similar thing

I use my own first@last.com (well actually it’s last-net.com because I couldn’t secure any better domain. It’s too common.)

Never had an issue.

Mild tbh

Good for them honestly

It has been since 2019 but before that it was bash.

macOS is UNIX, certified UNIX actually.

But I mean, if someone had the merest impression of macOS and was very familiar with Linux and never bothered to look any further then I’d understand. Maybe they only played around with macOS a little and saw the terminal app had bash and most all the familiar tools as on Linux. It’s not hard to see why they might’ve thought it’s Linux based.

They’re developed separately. It’s a hard fork so I consider them different.

In the past 10 years it’s pretty much just been Firefox, Safari, Explorer/Edge, and Chrome. 99% of browsers are just skinned Chrome. Even Edge now. Opera’s engine died in 2013.
