  • F-Droid In Trouble as Google Changes the Rules. Again.

    In a stunning turn that absolutely no one saw coming, Google makes yet another move to cut off what little freedom Android users have these days. First with undercutting custom ROM developers access to Pixel device information back in July, and now by requiring all developers, even ones that don't want anything to do with Google, to get their apps blessed by Google themselves, leaving little room for F-Droid and other alternative stores on the platform.

    Time to pick your Walled Garden.

    F-Droid is doomed

    AOSP is hanging on by a thread

  • I stream nothing, and I am happy.

    I'm one of those hipsters who doesn't use streaming services.

    I did, a while ago, but I quit using them because the experience is kind of awful, and I'm happier now for it. I collect physical media and watch it using Jellyfin on my Linux-based home theater PC, and I'm completely satisfied with how it works.

    I'm making this video because I am really troubled by algorithmic helplessness, and I feel like corporate-centralized streaming media makes that worse. Maybe this video will encourage someone else to cut the cord and rediscover an appreciation for owning your media and being choosy about what to "watch next". Or maybe I'm just wasting time. Who knows? I suppose, you know, you're reading this description, right?

    If you read the description, say "algorithmic helplessness sucks" in the comments. That'll make me feel better.

    Oh right, I need to tell you about the things I mentioned in the video.

    Software:
