The interface is just apps, no ads. That’s the appeal.

You can’t install apps without the store and that really blows though.

The best combination is probably an Apple TV AND a Google Streamer or NVIDIA Shield. Im interested if a SteamOS box like the Steam Machine or a self built one can take over as the all in one though.

Saludos hermano! Después de votar yo estaba tan nervoso que me quede lejos del site acompañando el resultado en tiempo real. Sinceramente yo no estaba tan optimista pero.ahora estoy muy feliz (Disculpa -me por el portuñol jeje)

Forgot to transfer my voter title to the new city in the US where I live from my old one. The situation is so dire that I hopped on a plane and am on my way to vote right now. Lula must win.

Marketplace is your friend. 7th gen intel computers can be found for cheap because Windows doesn’t support them anymore. Wipe the boot disk, install OMV and done. Now the hard part is of course hard disks. Still scour the used market but at least OMV will let you mismatch disk sizes with SnapRAID+MergerFS as long as you aren’t using ZFS and the parity drive is the same or bigger than the largest data drive.

For most people you don’t need to go extremely huge.

Then just set a nightly rsync.

Honestly the original post arguing against them makes very valid points that I wasn’t expecting to read to the end, even if they probably lost 90%+ of readers with the length that could have been cut down.

Speaking as a GrapheneOS and Linux user, the possibility of remote attestation to stop me from doing so is a legitimately shitty thought.

Been quite a fan of the convenience though as I just hate having to keep my phone on me all the time. So I’m torn, but will continue using them at least until a whiff of big tech buffoonery comes around.

Edit: Ricky’s arguments seem sound but I think you can also tack on “for now” to all of them. They also work for Apple so worth mentioning that potential conflict of interest/bias. I’d be curious of GrapheneOS’s take.

Proton is legit.

Don’t confuse privacy and anonymity.

I work in a coworking space. They just announced they’re moving the space to a block away. I was talking to the other folks about it yesterday, and one of them was complaining that the new space has no parking. She currently pays to park in the garage adjacent to the current space. I suggested just keeping that garage and she said “yeah, I guess I’m going to have to”

This in a very walkable downtown btw
