Looks a lot like M-Launcher on F-Droid.

I am using Kvaesitso which is great, but not Nova.

I saw genAI algorithms as artpieces themselves, even if their output wasn’t really art themselves.

This is a great point. The tools themselves are fascinating and impressive even if what they make is mostly garbage.

I’m rocking Bazzite and the only time I wanted Windows was when I got stuck on a boss in Silksong and wanted to use CheatEngine.

Yeah, it sucks because LibreELEC is the only way I’ve ever got HDMI-CEC to work. There are some nice skins too. In a different life, perhaps.

The law mentioned in the article isn’t doing what you are describing:

effectively lumps everything with a motor and two wheels into a single category, scrapping the widely accepted three-class system for regulating street-legal electric bicycles. That means pedal-assist e-bikes, throttle bikes, and high-powered e-moto-style machines are now treated the same under state law.

Most people support classifying electric motorcycles and gas-powered motorcycles the same, while keeping pedal assist in a category with regular pedal bicycles. But that’s not what this law is doing.

There is with Reddit! If you browse enough old posts you’ll inevitably come across a profile who’s history entirely consists of “I’ve quit and gone to Lemmy”.

Instagram - posts can still be checked in a browser without logging in. Imginn exists too if you want to browse a profile.

Facebook - Anecdotal, but I have not had a Facebook account in 20 years and I can safely say I’ve never once had FOMO or trouble finding information on an event. If it’s a private social gathering that’s worth going to, someone will invite me.

Instagram/Facebook I would just delete. Maybe make a final post explaining why you’re deleting and say “find me on Pixelfed” just to help spread the word.

For Reddit, I love when see people replace every comment they ever made with a link to Lemmy before deleting their account. Reddit shows comments from deleted accounts so they stay up. There are apps that will do this for you.

For Gmail just hold onto and have it forward to your new address in case someone tries to contact you that way. But also back it up with Google takeout in case Google randomly decides to delete the account (rare but it happens).

The classic example from history is Ghengis Khan “uniting” China and building roads etc. Did he lay the foundation for what eventually became modern China? Almost unquestionably. The question is, is it worth it to hurt a lot of people now?

I just noticed this post because I happened to check /c/Quark’s but I also support this being reposted into Daystrom or StarTrek

GenAI can kinda make sense for quick and dirty shitposts, but the audience for anything more artistic than that is functionally zero.

Sounds like maybe they’re looking to invest, and expect a return? But if not, they should just pay hosting costs for a Lemmy or Piefed instance.

What I said is basically the same as the top comment on their post, so maybe they will!

Not the guy to ask about that, sorry. I’ve seen it recommended elsewhere which is good enough for me. If you make a post about it I would definitely be interested. I’m not using it myself but I do keep an eye on the updates.

From what I can gather KonstaKang is the guy who makes these Raspberry Pi-specific versions.

Like I said, it’s not helpful for queries like the one you suggested. But I’ve found it helpful if you only have vague or incomplete details and you are not looking for an answer, but only to be pointed in a direction where you might find the answer.

Something like “what was that movie that had a green alien and there was a king and a jet fighter and it took place on a desert planet but also there was a scene with a bathtub”.

Or “are there any nintendo action games with a female protagonist and no guns”

Me too. The original devs abandoned it and it was picked back up by new devs in 2025

The way I see it, if someone eventually makes a Bazzite-styled distro that “just works” with a Plasma-Bigscreen UI on a Raspi it will become the clear and obvious choice for anyone. But we’re far from that still.

Not quite, and believe me, I’ve been looking.

Your best bet is probably LineageOS Android TV on a Raspi 5. From there you can install Kodi too. My issue here is that CEC does not work. Meaning you need a second remote.

I probably don’t recommend LibreELEC on a Raspi, because despite install being seamless, Kodi these days is essentially a real-debrid frontend (which might be what you’re looking for if you want integral torrent downloads!). The normal streaming apps for Kodi are not maintained even PlexJellyfin don’t work out of the box.

Something else I’m keeping an eye on is Plasma Bigscreen but that’s probably 2 years out minimum of being user friendly enough for someone not experienced.

Lastly if you have a Samsung TV, Tizentube will get you YouTube without ads (and other perks).

I actually like the option to have LLM text at the top of their searches. Sometimes it’s helpful for being pointed in a direction where I might find an answer if I only have vague or nonspecific information to go on.

I would prefer better search results, but it seems like that’s becoming impossible.

Still, I’m a hard “No” vote on forced.

@grok remove the nacelles

I can see someone else behaving like a 20 year old in need of therapy
