It’s still in active development, but you might want to keep an eye on Plasma Bigscreen. I’ve been looking for a similar setup to you, and it seems to tick all of the boxes, at least for me.

I only learned about it recently, and I’ve been too busy to try it in that time, but I’ll edit this post with my impressions once I get the time to have a play with it.

…Patreon has existed for 12 years. Websites have had “Buy me a coffee” buttons for even longer. You not noticing something doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.

…what’s hard to understand about people donating to those who make content they enjoy or tools they use? It’s not that complicated. Not every Youtuber is Mr. Beast.

Atlas himself cowers at the sheer burden of hearing about people donating to content creators they like.

Howareyou? Fine sankyou.

Pirates never had Sony install a rootkit on their computer. Paying customers did, though.

SATA ANDAGI!

KANEDAAAAAAAAAAAA

Imagine downvoting “Be careful what you expose to the internet”. I thought I’d got away from Reddit.

Well this thread is an absolute shitshow.

Jellyfin is great, but if you refuse to let yourself understand that Plex’s ease of setup for remote access is a point in its favour - especially when sharing with non-tech savvy people - then you’re just as bad as the supposed “Plex shills”.

Plex is well on the enshittification train, and I’ve always been a bit concerned about how private it may or may not be, but there’s absolutely no way I’d have been able to share a Jellyfin instance with my grandfather, especially as his dementia got worse.

I tend to avoid subscriptions where I can, so the only time I’ve ever used Patreon was to access Dankpods’ After Show (back when it was exclusive for patrons).

I really should give myself $200 or so to dole out between my favourite creators and open-source projects.

I don’t know whether it’s me or my hardware, but display managers seem to absolutely hate me. I’ve tried quite a few, and I’ve always encountered some sort of issue within a few days. Even on distros that install and set them up automatically for me.

Since I’m the only user of my computers, I’ve set mine up to log me in and startx (well, now the Wayland equivalent) automatically, bypassing the DM altogether. If I decide to experiment with other window managers/desktop environments, I just change the line in my bashrc.

If you have a 3D printer that can’t connect to the internet, you could try Octoprint.

Governments could easily get Ancaps on board by renaming themselves to Government, Inc.

“Nintendo may render…the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part.”

This isn’t just a warning from Nintendo that you risk bricking your console if you try to hack it.

If Nintendo has the power to brick your console, then do you truly own it?

This sort of shit needs to be illegal.

For those who haven’t studied relativity, this thought experiment is great at showing the “Relativity of Simultaneity”.

The only way the doors can shut from the pole vaulter’s reference frame is if they close at different times. The exit door opens and shuts first, before the tip of the pole has gone beyond it (otherwise it would hit the door, obviously), and then later, only once the back end of the pole has cleared the entrance door, does it close.

Nvidia Shield - The Android update (from 9 to 10, iirc) turned mine into a sluggish, unresponsive piece of crap. I ended up downgrading back to Android 9 and blocked the update servers in my router.

Switch Joycons - This might be a placebo, but I swear that every second Joycon update completely messes with their ability to connect to the tablet via the rails. They still disconnect every once in a while, but I’m certain that some versions of the Joycon firmware made my Switch completely unusable in portable mode.

Nobody’s said Me and Bobby McGee yet?

In intermediate, there was a guy who was always a massive dick to me, but we had a mutual friend and were in the same house so we interacted far more than I would have liked.

Turns out he fucking killed someone.
