So I would need to put Linux on my device then put plasma big screen over that?

that’s it

Yeh, agree. But for a lot of people they are the easiest option after Amazon/google/apple etc

Not everyone is techy enough to have means to pull components together and configure, And then put up with semi reliable solutions. People need to acknowledge this rather than downvote. It’s weird.

Might be worth a post in the coffee community

plasma-bigscreen looks nice, would it go on a RPI 4? and are they spy-ey? they have google as a patron.

Not sure why you got downvoted. I use similar Mi boxes. I hate google but the tv has a throw away tv email. I would love to not have google involved.

I then have productivity launcher which i quite like. If i am wrong happy to be pointed in the right direction. generally use stremio/jelly/smartube

TBF for the USA’s enemies Trump is the best thing to happen. The only question is do you eat popcorn or poke it with a stick?

I have been using Jellyfin, and finamp. Its OK but clunky. I generally use SLSKD as most my music is randoms. I have been using slsk-batchdl to bring my old playlists over. Its 85% hit so i am ok with that. I am not quite complete.

If i were to setup Navidrome would i be better off making sure all my files are on my drive and then setting up? and letting it organize?

Also smart tube

Wont be long and playstation will be telling me that they detected someone else’s fingertips on the controller…please purchase another user subscription.

It feels like we are moving to the Spotify/Netflix era of games. This is not a benefit to artists and studios. They will just be noise amongst a marketplace.

First question for a leader.

How do you earn trust back?

Grand game theft

I often use the hoover with the soft head to dust. I also use the leaf blower to mega dust.

Yeh don’t get dating advice from social media. It will make you go crazy.

I hear all the time that woman are only looking for men with a 6figure wage and are avid gym goers. IRL Not a single woman I know has a man like that.

Women are also heavily attracted to genuine personalities that treat them like a personality too.

Good luck. Everyone deserves someone to love.

I have no qualms paying for products. I try make the right choices but bit by bit it becomes impossible as the tech around us becomes more authoritative, more greedy, more invasive, more enshitified, less fair.

Streaming is a great example. Nearly all of them don’t treat staff well, they use profits to lobby or abuse their positions. I am happy to pay for content. I am not happy to pay to perpetuate bad behavior. Hence I’d like have an offline collection…but if I simply can’t buy it…then it becomes a service problem.

I would argue in some ways piracy is a progressive form of demonstration against a systematic problem, and in this case the bigger studies that milk users and take advantage of those doing the work.

So telling people not to advocate with their form of protest is a bit unfair, it takes all tactics to get change. Its a bit like telling someone not to go out and march because you don’t like that approach. People should get paid, but fairly. and consumers shouldn’t be fleeced…So my sympathy for the studios involved is little theres been plenty of time to talk…they didnt listen, infact they stuck two fingers up.

Yup. If buying isnt owning…

Yup replaced mine a few times. Cheap ones are just as good. I add a dot of double sided tape or glue gun to secure.

You don’t have to use it.
