So every time you have a couple new pics that you would upload to an online, album and share with your family/friends, you instead put them on a bunch of hard drives that cost 40 bucks each and post one to every contact?

I have a 12 years old TV if not older. Turns on instant.

How have consumers got to accept something like this as normal?

Some of the eu regulations, you can't just waive them by accepting an unreasonable EULA.

I have a Linux pc hooked to the TV and it's very convenient to use while lying in the sofa. In fact that's all I use the TV for. And the reason I am interested in this post, as my 12 years old dumb TV will kick the bucket on day it the other.

The pc is my server/nas and runs kodi in a container that outputs to the TV. It has no keyboard nor mouse, but I do have a remote controller that I had lying around from an old android TV box. Basically you turn the TV on and kodi is there waiting with all my movies, series, and iptv to choose from. With a great remote controller that works beautifully with kodi.

The remote is a minix neo a2 I have had for years. Highly recommend it. If it dies I'll do a quick research to see if there is something better this days, but I'd be keen to buy another one straight away.

I'll build a Faraday cage

Look I don't care for lemmy trends and I use Apple laptops as I get them from work.

That said it's hardly a superior ecosystem, and particularly for this specific use. As a million people have said already, kodi on Linux is a pretty good start. Look at libreelec that is an os wrapped around kodi.

Disagree, there were, possibly still are, good ones. A handful around mushrooms cultivation, food preserving, food fermentation and personal finance specific to my country come to mind, lots of high quality content.

But I know what you mean. I think it mainly happens once specific subreddits started going mainstream, often with an influxnl from facebook people. Out of all the fermented stuff, the kombucha one made my eyes bleed due to its popularity. Half the posts where new people asking if they had a mold problem, the other half was existing members posting "read this before posting, this is what mold looks like", but they were obviously ignored lol

Also from Piemonte I've never heard the horse brand one but "three hens brand" was used regularly when I was a kid.

My favourite though is "Coma na barca ant el bòsch", like a boat in the woods
