  • Ah, I misunderstood. Thanks.

    • Re reset: does every power disconnection (blackout; unplugging) count as a reset, with an ONN requiring VPN to re-setup?
    • Could a free VPN be used for ONN setup?

  • Ok, understood. And thanks for that link.

  • I ask because it would eventually involve things like handing over Prime login details to the Prime app on that OS. Have there been any security issues with these KonstaKang OSes? (Or am I being paranoid?)

  • Replacement for Roku?

  • I think she just finds operating the Roku so much easier. No remote for the laptop ATM, but even with, there's the issue of how to operate/navigate.

    If something like Kodi, the couple of times I've experimented with it, I've rage-quit it within the first few minutes 😂 as (what I thought were) simple actions proved incredibly frustrating. (IIRC my last Kodi experiment 2-3 years ago: just reflexively using the up & down arrows to adjust the video volume brought up some OSD that I could not for the life of me get rid of.)

    Has Kodi's user-friendliness improved? Or is there a better alternative? (Laptop currently has Linux Mint 22.3 Xfce.)

  • Thanks for the info.

    Can Google TV devices be flashed with something like LineageOS Android TV to remove the spyware nature (IIRC) of Google TV? And could those apps like Projectivity Launcher etc still work on that?

  • Thanks for the info, I'll look into Raspbi with Lineage Android TV.

    Who or what is KonstaKang? Exploring the site & a quick web search have proven fruitless.

  • It's time to bring consequences to collaborators. Not just government departments that appoint MS & Google shills, but companies that advertise through Google, Meta etc, and even individuals who use ChatGPT and Google Search.

  • Good to hear. Best of luck and thanks for all the great work!

  • I'm horrified at the number of people who think protests in Iran should be put down

    Jump

  • Intelligence Agencies don’t operate like that. Mossad agents don’t go around distributing bags of money to thousands of protesters in 40 different cities.

    Coincidentally last night I listened to Central Intelligence S01E07 (October2024), an audio drama about the early years of the CIA, where they did precisely that. And in Iran, to boot.

    Kermit Roosevelt Jr. (don't laugh!) literally smuggled a big bag of cash into Tehran and distributed it to local mob bosses who paid people to protest and riot.

    Altho I'm making a counterpoint to what you wrote, I agree with the gist of your post. (Fuck tankies!)

    And even if intelligence agencies are throwing cash around, you can't pay people to destroy something they're happy with.

  • Also using MarkText & also interested in this.

    Ideally I'd like something like a Markdown word processor with toolbar & buttons to do things:

    • to tide me over until I learn the shortcuts
    • to overcome shortcuts that don't work on my keyboard (MarkText at least offers a GUI way to remap shortcuts. Typora had 80% broken shortcuts & expected me to hack a JSON to fix their shit. And what passed for instructions on that didn't work.)
