Oh yeah it’s totally an appliance OS built around Kodi and not a general purpose OS. I do use it to watch YouTube though. I’ll “send to Kodi” from my phone and it plays on the TV. I use a full desktop computer for all the other stuff you mentioned. I only brought up Kodi on the raspi because this meme specifically calls out videos, which do work quite well (as long as it isn’t a vc1 encode apparently).

Yeah I can’t speak to that as I don’t have anything encoded in vc1. After a quick search I see that’s a proprietary Microsoft codec so that’s probably why I didn’t encode anything with it.

Huh. I use a Raspberry Pi 5 as a media center PC running Kodi / libreelec… Literally all it does is play videos and music. Even 4k h.265. This meme makes no sense to me.

Tree style tabs is my enabler 😖

I can see why that kind of libertarianism is unpopular. Thanks for the explanation. I’m coming from the “every person has freedom to do all that they will, provided they infringe not the equal freedom of any other person” school of thought where slavery is absolutely not allowed and there’s government to protect people’s liberty and freedom.

I see. It sounds like “liberty for me, not for thee”. Not cool.

What no I’m not saying that, of course they did. I’m saying slavery was allowed under the authority of the government and backed by state sanctioned violence. Corporations don’t have that same authority over our lives the way governments do. Under an actual libertarian system it’s impossible to to have slavery without violating a persons liberty.

I don’t agree with the assessment on slavery because in that system nobody would have the authority to sell another person in the first place. Although I suppose you could sell yourself and have indentured servitude.

Edit and I guess I’m going to get all “no true scottsman” over here and say a libertarian that doesn’t believe in liberty and freedom isn’t a libertarian at all. But thanks for explaining it a bit.

I’ve never understood the hate for libertarians. It seems to me some of the biggest injustices in the world never could have happened if governments weren’t allowed to have the authority to control those aspects of individuals lives. Such as the legalization of slavery, manifest destiny and illegalization of drug use, gay marriage, gender affirming care, birth control, abortion were all aspects of government controll in our lives that they had no business dictating IMHO. Edit - missed a word

Finally an ebike I’d be caught dead on!

I really hope that isn’t arsenic teated wood. It probably is… Otherwise that’s awesome!
