  • The TV UI is horrible and has negative development: Less features and more bugs every release.

    Do you want to go to a video’s channel? Well, that depends on where you are:

    • Go to Home.

    • Long-press on a video.

    • Press “Go to channel”.

    • Go to Subscriptions.

    • Long-press on a video.

    • Fewer options because fuck you.

    • Start the video, press down, up, right, select.

    • Oh, it was a short video? You fell into the trap! Down goes to another video. Go back, select the video again, press right, right, select.

    And that’s just one example.




  • I run my own Synapse server with bridges to WhatsApp and Telegram, along with a few other services, using Yunohost. I haven’t observed any huge resource usage, and I like the centralized management/update. One possible downside is that you won’t get the latest versions immediately, the Yunohost maintainers take time to test those. I prefer the stability that gives me but if you want to be on the edge a docker setup will be better.


  • Do you all seriously edit text files directly

    I use hexedit for all my programming, that way I can see my text’s source code. It allows things that are impossible with lesser editors, like differentiate l and 1. Newer versions even provide a “live view” that shows your text’s output right beside its source, updated almost instantly. I don’t personally use it as it consumes a lot of resources but it’s a great help if you’re just starting out.
