Wait, discord is also doing this?

I recently set up LineageOS on my rpi4 for this. With that setup, I think you'd be able to use the Android version of Moonlight. I haven't used Moonlight before though, so not sure how good of an experience that is on Android. Since the official images didn't support Android TV, I ended up using this version. Performance is a little slow in the menus (and very slow in the Twitch app, but that's also true on the fire stick). I'll probably give rpi5 a shot at some point in the near future to see if that offers better performance.

Bluetooth game controller works quite well (a little too well, the box notifies me when controllers are trying to sync), and works with apps like RetroArch and Jellyfin. I think it's supposed to support AirPlay or whatever the Android equivalent is too, but I haven't tried that. I also had to install gapps to sign into YouTube, but most other streaming apps I tried worked without it. Some of them require specific Android TV devices though, so a 3rd party app store or side loading may be needed for some of them.

I originally wanted to use Plasma Bigscreen with Waydroid, but I ran into the same problem of not being able to find an Android TV image. I did try building it myself, but that was taking too long so I eventually gave up.

I did this for about a year on a Steam Deck after my desktop broke down, though with the caveat that I still had my Manjaro laptop as a fallback as well. Had to write some scripts to reinstall packages after updates (since system is supposed to be read-only by default) which wasn't very fun, but it worked well enough for a while. Only reason I moved on was to get a better gaming rig for Baldur's Gate 3.

open_agb_firm is another option for GBA games. Seems to offer better performance, particularly when it comes to audio. I played through Pokemon Emerald with that recently, and it was the only way I could avoid the distracting sound issues.

When I switched from Reddit to Lemmy, I started using Feeder for news to fill that gap. I think my podcast app on Linux also uses RSS.

I also used Feeder with Nitter for a while to keep up with friends posting on Twitter (I never really got into Twitter myself). Though that stopped working at some point.

So yeah, RSS definitely still has uses today.

I'm aware of what he's done, but how is that fascist? Are you using some non-standard definition of fascism?

[–] sapphiria@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

for fascist propaganda

Do you have a source on this? Everything I've seen them post has been left wing. Most of which was anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist.
