I’ll go one further, I wouldn’t trust any human being to make that decision.

And you get to determine who is “steadfastly evil”?

I think it’s wrong to knowingly inflict suffering in others in any capacity.

When you remember that in order to even get the death penalty, you have to be such a horrible person that you’re pretty much no longer human

This is just absolutely not true. Throughout history countless innocent people have been executed not because of the facts, but because they were unable to defend themselves against the accusations. Meanwhile, many wealthy or powerful people have been guilty but never even charged with a crime. In fact, the nature of a crime has almost zero correlation with the sentence.

If you truly believe that all humans are equal then you must also believe that it is impossible for one to stand in judgment of another. I believe that killing is wrong because it is one human standing in judgement of another. Society has a duty to protect its members, but judgement and the concept of “punishment” is something that should be left to God.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks yes I found one here: https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi5/LineageOS22-ATV/

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.

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

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

I fully agree with this comment. Aurora (or Fedora Kinoite, very similar) is the first Linux I have been able to use full time. It should feel familiar and like a breath of fresh air to a longtime windows user. Immutability allows me to tinker without feeling overwhelmed.

Haven’t tried Bazzite but my understanding is that it works just fine as a deskop OS too!

If these catch on (unlikely imo) it’s only a matter of time before I have an awkward interaction with someone when they come into my house wearing them…

After installing an SSD and a couple of hours of clean-up, it was as fast as new. I guess with proper maintenance it can be good enough.

The reason people say Windows is “crap” isn’t the performance, it’s the ads.

I agree, atomic distos have allowed me to make the switch and are better and easier than windows and even macos.

💯
