Root MooseSick and tired of your Android TV set top box filling your house with unrequested billboard advertising?
Install Projectivity Launcher as the default launcher app and banish advertising out of sight forever.
I've had it installed on the big TV in the media room for the better part of a week and it's been great. My main swim lane is Jellyfin, S'Tube, F1 TV, Gem, Telus TV+, and that's pretty much it. All the apps seem to work fine with Projectivity as a launcher.
I installed from the G Play store but maybe check if it's in Fdroid or Aptoide or your other favourite.
I still want to build a custom Linux based STB but this app knocks it down the to do list a few hundred places. Ha.

"...downloaded all 77 million profile pictures visible to everyone—a proud 3.8 terabytes in total. In a random sample of half a million images drawn from this, a facial recognition routine found a human face in two-thirds of cases."
Eric MigicovskyThere's drama in the Pebbleverse! Here's my response to the recent Rebble blog post ericmigi.com/blog/pebble-...
@gardiner_bryant Understood and 100% onboard with this approach myself. I was just referring to potential challenges garnering public support if these companies' potential moves to ethical practices included directly charging their user base to make up for no longer profiting from their data.
@gardiner_bryant I love this idea, but it pains me that most users of Facebook, X, etc. would throw an absolute fit if these companies switched to charging a monetary fee (for services those users previously regarded as "free") because platforms could no longer profit from data collection. So many users don't care enough that they are being constantly monitored to support moves like this.... It makes me sick 😫
Gardiner BryantI wrote a post on my blog where I propose a simple solution to fix the Internet. I'd love your feedback. https://gardinerbryant.com/fixing-the-internet-part-1-the-cost-of-data/
aaronSteam just added screen reader support in the latest Big Picture Mode beta. On the Deck. On SteamOS. On Linux.
Not hacked in. Not community-patched. Built-in. From Valve.
There's an accessibility tab. There's a screen reader. There's high-contrast mode, UI scaling, color filters, reduced motion, and more.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I need a Steam Deck now.
Accessibility isn’t just coming to gaming — it’s here, and it’s official.
Let’s make some noise so they keep going.

Jeff GeerlingOh we're gonna do this again YouTube?
Self-hosting your own media content on a Raspberry Pi is not "dangerous or harmful".
I'm appealing of course; they're saying installing LibreElec on a Raspberry Pi circumvents copyright?!
