Thanks, this ended up being a good fit for me, too

Oh good. Someone who consistently espouses the most unhinged perspectives putting forth an argument against nuance and careful consideration.

Yeah, adulting is hard. But then you do it and you realize that you can do hard things. That feels pretty good.

Or you make a mistake and learn an important lesson; an expert is just someone who has made every possible mistake in an area.

Then eventually hard things stop feeling so scary.

The 3-letter agencies are definitely on here, but it’s unlikely they will do anything. It’s more useful to keep watch

I dare you to describe what is happening here without sounding like a soap opera

I’ve reported a lot of obvious (but not overt) neonazi content on meta and it almost never gets taken down. Maaaaybe 5% on the high end. It has to be extremely overt to register. Obvious dog whistles like “the Austrian leader was right,” using emojis like 👃, or 🧃 to make hate speech against Jews, 🐵 for African Americans, etc. slides right by.

You are literally mad that a public service is serving the public.

So if I understand correctly, you open the app or web on your phone, and it controls what’s playing on the TV via the server?

Symfonium is really great, but the TV version doesn’t quite work —or didn’t as of my testing probably a year ago.

I have also stopped using GMS, which makes using paid apps more difficult.

One thing that I really enjoyed was the Android Auto mode, which was flawless.

I’d be interested in hearing about your lyrion setup. I haven’t really tried it but it looks like that could open a whole software ecosystem. Do you use a phone app to select/skip/cue tracks?

It doesn’t necessarily have to be controlled by the TV remote, but it does need to be controlled away from the server.

It is possible but way beyond my ability. I suspect it would be a pretty complex task because it requires keys to be obtained from Amazon, and the process is often a little different for each of the many many versions of the Kindle. Most people would need a tech-capable helper to do it for them.

Honestly, there should be a law requiring software unlocking for any manufacturer-abandoned hardware.

I recently got a Boox Go Color and really enjoy it. The nice thing is that it runs Android so can benefit from the app ecosystem.

Older kindles can and should be jailbroken.

Removing DRM is likely completely legal.

Each one is countably infinite

From an evolutionary standpoint, we have the most advanced pattern recognition in the world. It is, in some sense, what makes us human. It is also the root of our capacity for language, reasoning, music, etc.

Looking for exceptions to complex patterns is key to our survival over great lengths of time.

I don’t get it. What is your fixation on wealthy people?

Huh, I knew a lady like that once
