It’s not a full car or even entertainment system, but comma.ai is an opensource autonomous driving software. Last time I looked into this was a few years ago, but basically for most newer cars you can rip out the adaptive cruise control, and effevtively replace it with autonomous driving. Either powered by certain supported phones or dedicated hardware.
I can one-up that: I bought Java Edition around 2016, claimed the free Bedrock license in 2017, then claimed the other license for each of my original licenses when the accounts merged. I’m still surprised that that worked lol
In that case you can try adding before:2023 or similar to your search
You could try getting a Raspberry Pi Zero together with some kind of SPDIF output card, but that will probably go over $30.
I have no idea what pricing is like, but you could possibly try getting a used Logitech Squeezebox player.
If you’re desperate to stay on the cheap and don’t mind BT quality, you could also install Snapcast on an old phone, enable the Snapcast player provider and then use the phone to connect to your speakers over Bluetooth.
Not quite, it stands for Quantum-Dot: https://www.samsungdisplay.com/eng/tech/quantum-dot.jsp
I bought an LG TV, connected it to the internet once to download Jellyfin, blocked internet access directly after.
If you’re cool with connecting it to the internet once, I’d recommend LG, the Magic Remote is light years ahead of the competition.
Other than that, just get any OLED TV and don’t give it internet access (or one of the new QD-OLEDs if you have the money for it).
Yes, but as you say, they have a good privacy policy. Also their revenue model backs up their privacy policy, and I find their reasoning as to why they aren’t FOSS fair:
Will Magic Earth be Open Source?
No; since it is also used commercially (we have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners), we cannot make the code public.
(from the FAQ)
At least in terms of addresses, I feel like Magic Earth is significantly better than Organic Maps.
I really enjoyed Tetris (2023). The story was super riveting and I also really liked the soundtrack (mostly just “modernized” Tetris music).
I have bots on and it’s mostly ever these two.
There are still reddit repost bots, but they are all on reddit repost instances. As I have those like two or three instances blocked, I don’t see any of them.
There’s a lemmy profile setting whether to show bots, you probably have that turned off.
It’s not decentralized, everyone connects to one central server.
I will once again shill for Proxigram (not my project), the only? remaining FOSS instagram frontend. You can try it out on one of the public instances.
I’m not entirely sure if it supports opening Instagram links though.
While I do agree and have stopped using the Samsung keyboard, it does have many unique features that I still miss almost daily.
A few that come to mind:
Do you mean the SimpleMobileTools keyboard or the “normal” Simple Keyboard?
Coming from the Samsung keyboard (and before that Apple), I’m quite dissatisfied with the cursor movement in most Android keyboards (including HeliBoard).
I can relate, with every update I’m like “Wow this is going to optimize my setup so much” and then I just don’t change anything lol
I’m on both, the one friend I message on matrix conveniently also hosts our instance.
Nowadays I very rarely use discord (only for server voice channels, because it’s just better). The few chats I still have on discord are bridged into matrix.
For many of my friends it was easier moving them to Signal though instead of matrix.
I highly recommend transcoding all your videos with ffmpeg, for me that reduces their size to anything from 10% - 25% of the original (100MB -> 20MB). I always use this command:
ffmpeg input.mp4 -vcodec libx265 -crf 28 ouput.mp4
(This will strip metadata, I was too lazy to figure out how to make it keep metadata). What I also do for most videos is turn them all into 1080p30 if they aren’t already.
You can ask ChatGPT to make you a small script to apply that command to all files in a folder, I can’t remember how to do it off the top of my head.
Edit: for linux run this in the folder with your videos:
for file in *.mp4; do ffmpeg -i "$file" -vcodec libx265 -crf 28 "${file%.*}_transcoded.mp4"; done
My phone’s at like 120/128 GB, I have 70 to 80 GB in apps, 90% of which I haven’t openened in the last year. But you better believe I’m not deleting those apps, cuz a) I still have pleeeenty of space and b) what if I need them some day.
If your hate only goes towards touchscreens and not having physical buttons, Mazda is (or at least was) very anti-touchscreen. I haven’t done any research on their current stance or if they have good EVs, but a neighbor of mine was really happy with his Mazda ICE car for having a button for everything.
