bc they’re all vipers. some are just more useful than others.

I looked into doing this a bit ago. For me, the current solutions just aren’t good enough. Once Plasma Bigscreen and Waydroid Android TV are ready, then I think I’ll take the plunge. For now, my Nvidia Shield 2019 is hard to beat.

Yeah, it’s right next to the wall of e-commerce sites that give you a single checkbox for “send me order information and tracking updates along with occasional promos”

Ooo looks nice. This might make me want to try CLI mail again. I tried neomutt a long time ago and just couldn’t get it working right, but this looks a lot easier.

Yeah, unfortunately the display/esp32 can now only be purchased pre-flashed from specific retailers (for a significant markup) and the firmware is no longer published anywhere. The only way to update is OTA.

It’s all really shitty. Though, I’ll admit, I really didn’t have high hopes when I found out that they use discord for everything from troubleshooting to documentation to group buys.

I bought the parts to build mine a year ago and never got around to it. I’ll still build it, but it’s sad they are either ripping away all potential future support, are fracturing the community, or both

I love open source.

On a related note, open source projects that get big without a reliable leadership organizational structure risk burning down just as easily.

Recently nix, wordpress, and gaggiuino were affected by this kind of thing. Nix seems to be recovering. Wordpress doesn’t look good. Gaggiuino skipped right over source-available and went closed-source.

Linux is a success story with this structure, but I think we need to be better about building projects with stability in mind.

The choice to use “AI” was deliberate. That’s malicious enough.
