I've been using Chromecasts and it's gotten so slow and buggy. I was trying to cast from VLC on my phone to it and I had a ton of trouble getting it to show up and connect and after I finished streaming from my phone I tried to switch to the YouTube app and it just kept on crashing.

It's 2024, I'm tired of dealing with shitty tv streaming experiences. I want something completely uncompromising. I want a silky smooth experience and I don't want it to randomly break on my.

I'm thinking about shelling out for a shield TV, but I'd rather have control over my device since I don't want to deal with the manufacturers fucking around with my device after the fact.

I'd love to be able to set up a raspberry pi for this, but would I be able to get a seamless experience? I don't mind doing extra up front work to get it set up, but I don't want it to be an ongoing maintenance thing, and I'd like it to work with Chromecast so it's easy to stream to from a variety of devices.

Can I actually pull that off with a raspberry pi or should I go with the shield TV?

A smart VPN will avoid going to jail for you by not storing any of the data law enforcement wants in the first place.

What do you think most clothes were made out of before polyester? Most people wore cotton, linen, or wool clothes. The first two are from plants, the last one doesn't kill the animal. Hemp was also a major source of textile. Seriously, what the hell are you talking about?

They're technically not banning tiktok, they're banning China from owning tiktok

Instead of lab grown meat they want meat grown in the most deplorable conditions with 14 year olds working there.

I wonder if there was some kind of technological revolution that made it exponentially easier to generate text that happened recently.

Did Trump mean what he said? Probably not. This is typical Trump fare. Say something provocative, grab some headlines, outrage your critics and thrill your fans.

Oh bull fucking shit, don't downplay his idiocy and danger

Corrected title: Glass in front of Mona Lisa splattered in soup at Louvre Museum in Paris by food protesters

This happens so often it's kinda like a publicity button protestors can push for headlines.

That's how Reddit was for a long time too, and Reddit still is more like that than the other social networks. For whatever reasons that demo is more likely to be early adopters of this kind of platform. Diversity comes with growth.

I'm anti mega corporations with consolidated power and platform monopolies. I'm not anti small distributed devs getting paid for high quality hard work.
