  • How the US got left behind in the global electric car race

  • This quote from Ford's CEO:

    "It's going to be a vibrant industry, but it's going to be smaller, way smaller than we thought," Ford chief executive Jim Farley said at an event on Tuesday.

    Combined with the following quote he recently said:

    Speaking on the Everything Electric Show podcast, Farley praised the [Xiaomi] electric sedan. "I don't like talking about the competition so much, but I drive a Xiaomi," he said. "We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago, and I've been driving it for six months now, and I don't want to give it up."

    Really feels like Kodak in the 90's kinda-sorta investing in digital but not willing to fully transform a majority of business.

  • What are my OS options if I wanted to disconnect my TV from the internet, use it's remote via CEC with a Raspberry Pi, and watch Plex, Jellyfin and YouTube (with sponsorblock)?

    Jump

  • Ah ok I got it thanks, yes the goal is to replace the apps on my TV as seamlessly as possible.

    KDE bigscreen says it supports CEC but there is no official release yet. I still might give it a shot. I actually tried the Android TV you linked to (which also says it supports CEC) but it doesn't work. I know the hardware supports it because Libelec was seamless.

  • You're saying wayland is an interface that works with tv remotes and hdmi-cec? I looked it up and it seems to be not that.

  • I mentioned in the post that I did try LibreELEC but the Plex plugin is very buggy and there is no functioning youtube plugin.

  • I can't believe I need to explain to someone that claiming you don't need evidence to declare something to be true is faith based on vibes. Tiktok has truly broken the younger generations brains.

  • Anyone have any tips to get HDMI-CEC working on LineageOS?

    Jump

  • Thanks, it's weird to me because as I said it worked flawlessly with LibreELEC. I would be sad if it doesn't work because the Kodi experience is pretty awful these days.

  • This is depressing. Trial by vibes. I'm going to live in the woods.

  • Thanks, I found a LineageOS build of Android TV I'm currently trying to get it up and running. CEC seems like it might be broken however which would sadly be a dealbreaker.

  • Something can't be both "100%" and vibes based lol

    Unless you mean "I am 100% basing the following opinion on vibes".

    You need evidence. Please don't respond with more vibes.

  • Oh cool, thanks, it works with hdmi-cec? Android is not an issue exactly, I basically just want something to replace my TV "apps" but without ads and more private.

    EDIT: did not fully read the comment. I have a raspbnerry pi.

  • Aurora immutable KDE Plasma workstation big, slow, confusing

    Jump

  • I looked into Aurora after seeing it recommended here but it is basically the same as Kinoite. I tried both and couldn't tell the difference so I stuck with the more "official" one from Fedora

  • Regarding account deletion...

    Jump

  • my question is, does it really matter doing all of that before deleting when it comes to privacy?

    It doesn't hurt to be thorough but FWIW they say it will be deleted:

    What happens if I permanently delete my Facebook account?

    Your profile, photos, posts, videos, and everything else you've added will be permanently deleted. You won't be able to retrieve anything you've added.

  • Tell people to just talk to their therapists instead. That’s much more productive.

    I'm just going to say it: 50% of foss projects wouldn't exist if their devs could afford therapy

  • If I wanted to donate a few dollars a month to the future development of a phone OS that will allow users to continue "sideloading". What is your recommendation, and why?

  • This comment said:

    It’s not the OS that need to be supported it’s the phone who’s manufacturer isn’t contractually bound by Google to implement developer verification for blocking installation, otherwise they lose access to Google’s proprietary suite including Play Store.

  • yt: Which method is best for privacy?

    Jump

  • If you're only watching subscriptions and not scrolling the generated feeds, you could presumably run tubearchivist through a VPN and then watch via Jellyfin or Plex (there are plugins).

    It will not only be private but it has sponsorblock.

  • Ok thanks, as someone else explained to me the real issue is that Google is blocking device makers from allowing other OSs to be installed (but oddly Google devices aren't among them).

    It seems fairphone is the only option right now but Graphene doesn't have a release for them.
