“Astroturfed” implies an appearance of a grassroots campaign, here the dev has connections to wealthy people who give him money, that’s really all there is to it.

I think the dev just has connections and the people donating don’t understand what they’re giving to.

Yeah but even then, it’s an extremely niche distro and 99.9% of Linux users using a password manager service are using bitwarden/vaultwarden. It just doesn’t make sense.

That stood out to me too. It comes preinstalled with Omarchy so thats something but also Omarchy has like, a thousand daily active users so even that doesn’t sit right.

“I’m harassing you for different reasons than the Kiwi Farms people are” is not the moral high ground you think it is.

I think the newer raspberry Pis have CEC so if someone goes that route they wouldn’t even need a second remote

I haven’t tested it but Plasma Bigscreen has apparently made a lot of progress, too.

You’re really going to argue with The Guy On YouTube??

There is a guy making LineageOS Android TV builds for Raspberry Pi and other devices.

Kodi is basically just a real-debrid frontend these days. There isn’t even a decent YouTube app for it.

The hard question becomes is it better for Linux (where anyone can contribute labor) to get the attention and donations or for commercial software where only nonhuman corporations benefit.

If they’re going to skip a generation this would be the one.

Small instances are best. I just wish the big instances didn’t have most of the communities.

Gotta remember that a lot of Lemmy users are here because they’ve been banned from everywhere else. All the big Lemmy instances are highly moderation averse but I still report dipshits when I see them.

Getting a local security camera setup is kind of a pain but do able. Look into the self hosted software Frigate and go with their recommended brands.

In the US they use Chromebooks, not really any better but they do have Linux under the hood.

lick the boot harder then
