It’s not the knowledge that I need, it’s mostly the time and desire to set up all that stuff and maintain it and keep it working and constantly needing to track what the latest and greatest version of whatever platform or software that is out there. It’s the same reason I don’t jailbreak my phone or hack my consoles anymore. Sometimes it’s nice to just buy a thing that works out of the box and use it as its intended.

I used to be into that sort of tinkering and custom install/configuring of all sorts of software. I probably still have 2-3 flircs in a drawer somewhere.
These days I just want to be able to buy something, plug it in, and have it work. The idea of installing a plex/jellyfin server and a custom OS on a pi might as well be the same as getting a 4 year degree at this point. I’m sure it works out great for loads of people, but it’s definitely not something I’m interested in.
God, if I could just install SmartTube and Kodi/Stremio on an Apple TV, I’d convert in a heartbeat. Until then, I’ll keep my Shield TV Pro.
Good to see a shitty bot mirroring spam from other platforms. Cause that’s what Lemmy needs.
Bad bot
And sometimes bicycles are painted red.
Are you using different apps across the platforms to access Lemmy? There’s an upcoming change in Lemmy as a whole that will essentially get rid of the scores altogether, so a lot of apps are going ahead and removing that feature so they’ll be compliant when the change happens.
That is easily the dumbest thing I’ve read today.
