I really gave the orange pi the ol’ college try. Now that I think about it, there was a single OS that sorta worked well on it. But unfortunately it was a weird fork of ubuntu supported by a single dude and I didn’t want the future of my device by on one guy’s shoulders.
What wrong did the pi foundation do again?
oh man, I tried an orangepi and I cannot express how sketchy that thing was, top to bottom. It had a lot of power but that is the one good side it had (it was a lot more expensive than a rpi too). That shitty flashing utility alone make it worth picking something different.
I had so much trouble trying different OSes on it. I think actually none of them felt stable and I tried like 5 (multiple versions of each) I think.

Kinda says it all.
I’m the person you’re accusing of lying. To your point, there are some dropped frames but that’s not a problem for me, and I figure most people wouldn’t notice 10 dropped frames out of every 1000, or whatever similar ratio it is. I have a rpi for a media PC and I’m happy with it. I play HD video in several web apps and only the shittiest of them (prime and paramount+) ever have a noticeable issue with playback.
People who complain about rpi’s being expensive kinda make me scratch my head. Like, do you not count the accessories you buy for other hardware? It seems the comparison is between the RPI and every single thing you buy for it, vs a laptop/PC itself with no accessories (which you will almost certainly be buying some amount of). I get that it sucks that these devices have gone up in price, but yeah, the accessories aren’t all that much more than any other device. You could have a very solid RPI setup for $120 all-in. And it would be more durable than some sketchy Acer laptop.
I mean, yeah, I realize it was the joke. I think I was just adding context some people may not know about. I didn’t know a rpi could do that task until I started researching media PC options.
A raspberry pi 5 can play YouTube in HD just fine, so if you wanna save 4000 bucks maybe do that instead
That’s impressive. I always have to glance down occasionally because I feel like I would never be able to quickly find lesser used keys without a label, such as F9 or something
Are those Celtic symbols or what?
Yeah, that makes sense

Not really. A reported comment rarely even gets evaluated in the context of what it’s replying to, let alone a long history. It might make sense to allow a user report to link comment/post examples of why a user is toxic to the user report. I know there are a couple of users I would’ve used that for.
We are currently missing the ability to report user accounts.
My point is that the word censorship carries a connotation of trying to suppress certain types of speech. While that may be true in some cases, for the most part if I get moderated it’s for an opinion I can understand or disagree with. In either case it’s an opinion. I’m not a victim. On some instances though, yeah censorship is kind of a thing. On .ml, anything seen as not extremely left wing gets deleted or banned, and that’s bad. But I can just avoid that shitty instance. No one owes me the “right” to be heard in every context.
It is telling that you consider moderation “censorship”

I’ve had it about 4.5 years now.
That is what I do. I have owned like 4 kvm switches. Even when I paid extra to get a “good” one they never lasted more than like a year or two. My USB switch has been going for about 3 years. Occasionally it glitches out and I have to unplug it from everything but it’s only about every 3-5 months
Congratulations you discovered pointless negativity
I said they **weren’t **removed. I think I was just commenting that China has covered up that it happened.
Thank you for that validation! I actually just tested mine and saw the same results as you describe. I would drop about 30-50 frames going full screen and then only one here or there every few minutes. It is damned close to perfect.
