Yeah that’s because vendor lockin for hardware had already started. It’s kind of a miracle we got everyone to agree to USB. Look at cars, same thing. Everyone agreed to the same gas pump, but it’s been decades and we can’t agree on a standard for electric car chargers. That’s what happens when industries mature under capitalism

It’s why SMS still exists too. It’s from an era where everyone just used open standards instead of trying to create their own thing for money. Big tech conglomerates like we have now didn’t exist. The state of the tech industry and it’s proprietary standards is absolutely fucked.

Yes it was, we need to stop doing this where AI ruins something and we go “well it was never good” yes it was, that’s why it got popular. AI is running the Internet

Really hate putting disabled communities down to make fun of Trump. I get it’s from the goonies but let’s be real he wasn’t the most PC character and in top of that he’s being used as a standin for general mental disability here.

It’s still the most widely used browser, even if it doesn’t individually effect you doesn’t mean it’s not bad

I’d be more likely to listen if this weren’t next to an AI Gen otter

When I read the very first bit I was like “oh is that a new kids tv streaming platform from the same creators as kidpix?” Then I was immediately hit with the reality of the grim world we live in

I definitely agree, it’s advertised as private, when really it’s more “open” so that it’s not profitable I think

I definitely think it’s important to make people aware of the difference in the fedeiverse. Especially since that is not how it worked in non-federated social media

I agree

Oh, I’m not sure, maybe

You can boot lineage os’s android TV version easily on the onn one

Onn 4k box or Nvidia shield

lineageOS, but you have to have a supported device, and I’m not seeing that device on there. Plus fire tv’s are pretty locked down. I would suggest walmarts onn 4k box or an nvidia shield

personally I prefer android streaming boxes, because you can install custom versions of android tv on them, so if the official release from google is bad, you can just go to the community version

oh man, hard agree, the shield is the kind of android boxes

I’m not into the apple walled garden, I use android boxes

Yeah I don’t get roku boxes lol. I have an nvidia shield pro, and I’m considering loading the lineageOS software on it

https://spacebar.chat/ looks like it will eventually be good, it looks like it’s in its infancy right now though

Reasons I turn off WiFi on any TV I buy and use a streaming box
