I don’t have anything meaningful to add but just wanted to chime in that I noticed the same thing and ultimately just blocked the community. I thought about making a post but assumed it would lead into a big argument over acceptable behavior and not starting witch hunts and decided against it. I’ve also largely given up on clear or direct dialogue between mods/admins or responses to technical issues. I’m sure that doesn’t apply universally amongst the different instances but at least for .ee and .world my experiences haven’t really been productive - so I’m just going to lurk and assume everything is operating as wanted and intended. It’s too frustrating to otherwise assume that help is wanted but just not accepted.

Maybe “frist”?

A common mistake, the character name is actually Brett. Nice painting (as usual) btw :)

Some people say I’m egocentric, but enough about them.

I also endorse the RPi+OSMC route. Another thing to mention about controlling Kodi [the underlying software used by things like OSMC or LibreElec] is that you can generally use any input method you prefer.

• it supports a directly connected keyboard, mouse or controller
• when using a RPi and connected to a television via HDMI, usually CEC will allow you to use your normal remote control - but if your particular TV isn’t supported there’s also things like Flirc you can plug into a USB port and then customize for your remote
• you can use a web browser from any computer on the network
• there’s a bunch of different apps for your mobile phone. On Android the official (free) one is Kore, I prefer the extra features provided by Yatse but after migrating away from using Google Play Services I’ve had issues keeping the purchased “pro” features unlocked; but it’s still a better experience even without them.

And it’s not an either/or scenario, you can use all of the above simultaneously without changing any settings.

I want to suggest that you start adding two spaces before you press enter if you want your line breaks to be maintained.

Or maybe 1924 and that’s what the “100 Years” bit is celebrating.

I don’t know if there’s a new official mascot but there still seems to be a Simpsons connection to Butterfinger in general (the bag “Best By” date is Dec. 2024).

…You just hit G-8.

It’s actually a 4 week delay according to sidebar (unless that’s outdated info)

America died with a whimper!

Do you get royalties every time you say this or something? You’ve had an account for ~3 days and you’ve already used variations of that phrase at least 8 times. I’m not attacking the sentiment, it just feels forced and isn’t a particularly witty comment worthy of that much repetition.
