Sorry, what exactly do I need to tone down?

More of a general commentary for the anti-AI folks.

but nothing in the original post that would indicate that these users are exclusively targeting db0 communities

There have been pretty frequent cases of it lately, as db0 is pro ai.

So I think there are a lot of really valid reasons to question casual use of those tools because they do not exist outside of capitalism.

They do, there are many openly created and developed options which can be entirely locally run.

This is an anarchist instance.

This is not the same thing as anarcho-capitalist, which I personally think is nonsensical to include 'anarch' at all in because its just extremist capitalism with corporations rather than states. Its not remotely anarchist, but that's a digression.

This instance is specifically anti-capitalism. And while I understand you are saying you are not running around being anti-AI, the latter 75% of the comment I'm replying to speaks to a capitalism problem, not a genai problem.

There are many people complaining about genai that are just complaining about capitalism. They might be using genai as the context, but the complaint is about capitalism. Just like the majority of your comment.

So the people who are going on db0 communities, complaining about genai (with capitalism as the reason why), well they really aren't paying attention to what the instance is.

This isn't exactly a capitalist tech-bro instance. So while I agree with there being a problem here, the problem is less genai and more about capitalism IMHO.

Which is why it can seem a bit silly to me to go after this instance of all things when it comes to genai.

That said, as always, I think db0's soft rule is a really great good faith effort to be accommodating to others, while staying true to the core of what the instance is about.

So I hope you'll see that part of things and tone it down in kind.

"The party" is not trying to gain access to the building.

These two reps are.

My solution was HDMI in as others suggested. Currently a picture slideshow screensaver for Kodi, previously a rooted firestick.

I wonder if it is because you added that way, rather than from f-Droid or something.

No idea. If I had a spare still running android (trying out postmarketos on a few devices) I'd like to give it a try. Maybe I'll spin up a VM.

What apps?

No idea. Play Store then update itself via its at store rev? Preinstalled on a ROM? Via adb?

That said, all the link refers to is a few sample permissions (which would not include F-Droid from that list) and only via certain methods being downloaded. Or they have it wrong and its "opened from".

Its still shitty, but as of now I'm not sure if there is any impact to installing F-Droid, but I can say the method of installation has complied with previous versions of googles "protections" (as in forced limitations) and that appears to continue to be true.

How did you install aurora store?

I'm curious because ive seen no issues with F-Droid (just had a few updates actually), and the F-Droid team have commented on this sort of approach before, including the method being used for installation.

I don't use aurora, so I'm not overly familiar.

Just FYI, no, F-Droid will not be impacted.

Links in this comment explain, they are incorrect about how F-Droid works.

Which is why I said negligence at most, and arguable.

I see you aren't actually reading what I said, just making assumptions about my position on things, so I'll go ahead and stop here.

I'm not debating any of that.

That said, the vaccine is not new, she is an adult, and as I said I don't advocate a murder charge. At most its negligent homicide.

But none of that changes the base facts:

• She was infected
• She passed it on
• She isn't vaccinated
• The measles vaccine is in no way a new discovery
• The measles vaccine has been part of medical messaging for decades

I cannot call her a victim in any way other than the loss of her child.

F-Droid uses Session Installer, which is an "app store" method.

This is not a new issue:

Vaccination isn't against mennonite rules, and the mother is an adult.

So I can't see a scenario where she is the victim (other than the loss of her child, which is the issue of negligience that could be argued).

That doesnt appear to be true, the restriction seems to be on apps being installed from file managers, web browsers, messaging, etc.

F-droid and the like are not part of that list.

This still isn't good, but it doesnt stop you from having F-droid manage your messaging apps it would seem.

Edit: If you're down voting because you think its using the same method as a file manager as the user that replied to me, this is incorrect. This is also an issue going back several versions.

F-Droid uses a session installer method for 3rd party app stores, it does not use the same method as a file manager.

For an article about a similar issue brought up by similar restrictions in previous updates, you can refer to this article:

https://www.androidauthority.com/android-15-restricted-settings-sideloading-3481098/

You can also refer to this thread in the F-Droid forums which covers this as well, from 2 1/2 years ago:

https://forum.f-droid.org/t/sideloading-restrictions-or-removal-in-future-how-it-effects-fdroid/21089/10

Which also includes a merged discussion from the last time this came up 9 months ago.

F-Droid has been using the session installer method for quite some time.

FYI

Infant had ‘contracted the virus before birth from their mother’, while the country has recorded 2,755 measles cases

It happens to be pretty clear in this case.

Edit: Not saying I would consider it murder. Negligent homicide maybe.

But also make sure its current, and hopefully well documented.

For that, I'd highly recommend a power conditioner with outlet controls (and preferably sequencing).

Most are pretty expensive, but you can get something like a surgex squid or a gude expert power control for a few hundred here and there, which will give you great data on power usage as well. You can also grab an older model with serial and/or relay controls, and use a pi or whatever is handy to trigger it. Actually have a setup like that in a few racks for clients (mostly orange pis and a couple of Asus tinker boards).

Hope your trip goes well!

You realize I'm not the same person, right? So maybe change the attitude a bit.

120Hz wasn't in your original question. For that you'd need to be in direct view LED territory, which is going to be in the $150k+ range, like an FE012I3 (at least with Sharp/NEC).

Sony has a line of Bravia post production OLEDs, the FWD-##A95Ls ( the number is the sizing) which is going to be a phenomenal production quality display. $7k-$10k.

LG and Samsung are all WebOS and Tizen respectively, but the versions are different than the consumer version. So its "smart", but not in the same way as consumer editions - sampling content and other such things would be a legal nightmare for them. So if you want "smart" but not "consumer smart" you can go that route, but expect about twice the price.

Edit: I suppose I can toss Planar into the mix here, different business purpose and youre not buying them at best buy. They are more of a 24x7 operation design. I don't think 120hz is on the sale list yet though, those will be part of the UltraRes series.

That wasn't the question, but sure.

Commercial series displays. Most of those now have the same (well, same base at least) OS on them though.

I'd say Sharp/NEC would be the only "dumb" professional series displays, at least of the major manufacturers.

You'll be at around $1500-$3000 for a nominal 80" (they make a 75" and an 86").

Roku TVs did that
