I'll note that I use LibreELEC as that handles HDR (I couldn't get other Kodi installs working with HDR)

There are a few things about Kodi that might help:

1. There are themes thay completely change the UI, so it doesn't have to be outdated. I use Arctic: Zephyr – Reloaded and it is much better, though I did change the noises to something else.
2. The Jellyfin plugin works pretty seamlessly if you set up the UI correctly. I only use Kodi for Jellyfin and it acts as if it's all local files, other than the occasional syncing notice.

However, I feel you on Netflix, YouTube, etc. - it is not ideal. I ended up either logging into a separate partition or moving to a Chromecast for those things. I'd love an all-in-one solution but I haven't managed to find one that I'd be happy with.

Flip is all sample based but the best one I know of

It's less slick than on Windows but I believe you can use those programmable keys with Solaar, if you're interested in keeping your current keyboard.

That sounds like a conspiracy theory. Insects are a more eco friendly source of protein than cattle, and cattle might become more expensive due to the effects global warming and the potential taxes that could be placed on emissions, but there are plenty of other protein sources and there isn't some big plan.

No it won't, or it already does. AI is a meaningless term used to sell bullshit, so can we please use better definitions? Machine learning models will? Generative ML? Stuff hosted by a large company? There's no way they're counting all the small ML models all around the world, and sometimes (sadly, rarely) "AI" can save energy vs the alternative. How has everyone collectively lost their ability to think when it comes to this shit?

That replies upon the definition of "mountain", amongst other things, which has a consensus but isn't something that is absolute. I agree that there is an objective nature to reality (though that can be argued too but I don't see the value of doing so). I also agree with the opinion that Mt. Erebus exists because we are sharing an understanding of what is around us and agree on the evidence that comes from objective reality. However, you stating it makes it an opinion. It is an opinion based on evidence.

Personally, I think that there is an objective reality, but everything has to pass through our senses and understanding, so anything that filters out the other side is opinion. I don't think facts are that absolute, but it's a convenient way to say "this opinion has so much evidence to support it that I am confident it is true", so calling things facts has value.

People (unfortunately) believe that things are facts without them being true, or due to them being a decent approximation, all the time. The thing that matters is the weight of evidence behind the opinion, as not all opinions are equal. I think that dismissing something as an opinion is silly, but dismissing one for lack of evidence or the fact it is subjective is valid.

I disagree but also agree with you — I think you and the quote are talking about slightly different things.

Facts do exist, but what you hear from others is still an opinion. Those opinions may align with facts or not, be better evidenced or less, but it is overwhelming evidence that allows us to confidently state a fact (and potentially still be wrong). I think he is correct because objective reality, while real, is observed through our imperfect understanding, senses, language, etc.

Yep, there was a sense of people coming together in the first few weeks but it didn't last long...

LibRedirect Firefox addon is good to automatically redirect various websites, the main one I use it fkr being reddit. Redlib etc servers aren't reliable, but it'll ping the different ones and find which is working well.
