“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 too.

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.

Stop messaging me

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

You Kiwi Farms freaks need to update your wiki because /u/AdmiralPartick is deleted long ago. This is the main account, not an alt.

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

Edit: or just get a CEC adapter probably

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??

I’m no fan of slop but I’m not going to stab myself in the eyes to avoid looking at it. That’s what the slop wants me to do.

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.

You are giving slop WAY too much power over your life, imo. Avoiding Linux entirely because you might accidentally touch some generated code is pathology.

What does that have to do with slop?

Please stop hyping up the power of text generators. LLMs aren’t predators with will of their own, they only have as much power as we are willing to cede to them.

The more afraid we are of slop doing something other than just being slop, the more power we are giving the companies (which are harmful) to actually control us. Don’t help them.

I haven’t watched any of the latest season yet but I get the impression that the writers are going out on a “do what we always wanted to do” note like in Enterprise S4.

It’s ranked above Citizen Kane now

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.
