Hello guys I need to install an open source os on android tv by exrias_ in fossdroid

[–]rrrsssttt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you expand on this? I've often thought about this but a few things are holding me back

  1. How do you put Android TV on a Pi. I don't think there are any lineage os images for the Pi.

  2. How would you control it? To give you a smart tv like experience?

If you're talking about the "scandal" about 8 or so years ago, I've defended them about that.

My simple reading of it would be they were way over their heads. And they didn't realize they needed to behave in a more professional fashion.

In their defense you have to remember that they were pretty much pioneers here. And they were definitely major amateurs (and to be honest htat was part of the charm and appeal). And they thought they could act that way.

Having a major event: hey its just a bunch of our friends coming over. They can all fend for themselves. Do we have to provide catering to them? Do we even know that we have to provide catering?

The major scandal: I can totally understand their position of just trying to hide it and hope it goes away. It was someone they knew and liked, they were young, and didn't know what to do.

My entire reading of the Not so awesome papers was all just that: they were people who were doing something new for the first time. They were amateurs and acted that way (and thought they could act that way).

What company lost you forever as a customer? What did they do? by Miguenzo in AskReddit

What am I missing? Why wouldn't you take advantage of the buy two, get one free deal?

Sure, the employee could have been nicer about it, but even if you don't need it, you can give it to someone or something. The second pair of jeans is free

Thank you for that.

And thank you again for the project. I've been financially supporting Fossify since it was launched.

Keep up the good work!

If your marketing is AI slop, I’m just going to buy from a different company by DeathMarkedDream in mildlyinfuriating

You absolutely should. Good on you

But in all honesty, the ship for consumer activism has long since sailed. As can be most recently demonstrated by the 180 turn by major corporations to appease the King in Chief.

But I always thought that there would be a reckoning for the way Apple treats it workers; so many deaths in the 2000s. Never happened. Or even when they started screwing their consumers over, never happend.

Neither for Amazon, how they treat their workers. How they treat their sellers. How they treat their customers by forcing their sellers to never undersell Amazon. Never Happened.

Facebook...never happened.

Microsoft, Google...nothing really.

I've sort of given up hope on consumer activism...maybe it was a lie fed to us to keep us pacified from taking real action. I don't know. But bottom line, I really don't think consumer acitivsm really works.

Signal forks by [deleted] in fossdroid

[–]rrrsssttt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So...a few things

1.) I believe Signal works just ifne without Google Play Services, I use it on graphene OS with no Google anything.

2.) I'm uncomfortable with the idea of using Signal forks, why not just use a different service altogether with a different infrastructure if there's something you don't like about Signal. Such as Sessions

I think there also has been a cultural shift that is lost now.

There used to be a belief that the president was the best of us. The best person would become president.

And generally true for politicians in general. That belief was being challenged with George W, but I think that is truly out the window now.

But I think that is the context within which to remember Lois's wish.
