Earlier this month I finally disconnected the wifi for my 7 year old Roku TV. I miss being able to turn it on w/ voice activation but I’ll trade that in for my privacy

Was on it for a few months but jumped ship after bugs went unfixed. Can’t fault the owner personally. It’s a stressful, thankless job. Hope he finds happiness in 2024

I agree too. But at the same time there is a subset of the voting population that care about things like this or Hillary Clinton’s cankles.

Hard to feel sorry for anyone actively putting money in Tesla/Musk’s pocket @ this point

Thanks for the additional context. Not the initial commenter but I didn’t realize this was for Android either

I want him gone too, but saying the impact has been minimal a week after his expulsion seems a little myopic.

I just did some digging on Best Buy and Amazon for sales, but mostly came across larger models or models that were MediaTek/Snapdragon (the chrultrabook team almost exclusively works on intel devices).

I’d say your best bet is to go to the supported devices list, and Ctrl + F for ‘13’ or ‘11’ to highlight the smaller-sized chromebooks and then check to see what’s available, or to jump in the Discord and pose the question to those in the linux channel

As of next month, I’ve been using Chromebooks for 10 years however I also came to the same conclusion re: Google/ChromeOS over the summer.

Initially, I bought a Windows laptop but the keyboard layout (specifically the function keys) felt absolutely foreign, even after I wiped it and installed Debian. In retrospect, my theory is that a $500 Chromebook has worse internals but a much better keyboard/trackpad than a Windows equivalent, and that the keyboard layout is more user-friendly in a browser-first world. Eventually, I went back to my Chromebook but with a twist.

I’m biased, but since you seem like you know your way around Linux and tinkering, one suggestion that hasn’t been mentioned is that you buy a new Chromebook and turn it into a Chrultrabook (aka a Chromebook w/ ChromeOS completely wiped & replaced w/ Linux).

I’ve been running one of the last few months and it’s been an overall pleasant experience. Perhaps most important for me is that the tutorial includes keyd to reprogram the keyboard shortcuts to mirror the Chromebook layout. The community is growing and responsive, especially on the Linux side.

I didn’t have a horse in the race when I was looking to self-host git, but I quickly backed Forgejo when the news came out re: Gitea

“Decisions went from being made for the benefit of users, to the benefit of Google, to the benefit of whoever was making the decision,”

That’s a bar.

I went down the rabbit hole of an open source replacement for notion earlier today randomly.

What the hackers do is irrelevant. What matters is that they disclose it to the public so that those affected can take necessary actions. Failure to do so deserve a hefty punishment irrespective of whether or not they pay the hacker

I think it only applies to Europe

I’m team Linux as well

There are plenty of Chromebooks that can wiped & replaced w/ Linux. I run Debian 12 on my HP x360. Check this list: https://chrultrabook.github.io/docs/docs/supported-devices.html

Fuck a corporations but let’s not act like piracy is the modern version of Robin Hood or righting a huge injustice
