@Skiluros Sure.. so you need to work away at changing minds which never really works if you are just yelling at people.
I think the opportunity is to demonstrate that Sat TV could be the space (sic) where people.might prefer to go to get away from wall to wall news.
I think this article is an interesting read...ridl.io/how-the-war-changed-ru… and a quote "Some entertainment and infotainment programs were removed from the broadcast schedule." - That is something that external broadcasters could fill.
@Skiluros Agree .. but making information and entertainment together attracts people and opens the opportunity provide alternative views to people who are primarily consumers of TV. Its about working away on the marginal audience using soft power.
Russian language Satellite TV
@[email protected] I think its great that independent media is available via satellite tv for Russian speakers. My thought - Should we be including a rqnge of russian language entertainment in those packages to attract audiences? denisdiderot.net/svoboda-packa…
@Evkob Sometimes I'm in Spain
@merde I know this is silly but I'd like the Eroski App from Spain
@merde I looked more . I don't think you can - community.e.foundation/t/auror… - So Google App Store uses the region of the Google Account (which can only be one region and is determined by Google not me)
Using Aurora Store to access Apps in other regions
Of course I prefer to use #Fdroid but for some apps I would love to be able to access a few apps that for silly reasons have been restricted to Google Account in other regions. (I Travel often) Is it possible to use #aurorastore to access these apps? If so - how?
@SynopsisTantilize
Well Im not entirely sure what will happen using a lemmy account byt try - Grab your Lemmy account and login a client like #Fedilab - Find a Mastodon user and comment or follow them and watch what happens.
@donuts I am not sure if its federated but something at least.. And could be developed to be federated.
@baronvonj
Use #Friendica - #lemmy works well there for me - you also got to realise there is a lot of playing around with UIs in different client apps - #Fedilab #racoon plus so many more

@donuts
I saw #pinry - github.com/pinry/pinry/ - Haven't tried it - can't vouch for it .. but is that what you are looking for?
@Teknevra
@baronvonj
What do you mean? I'm posting from a #Friendica account to #mastodon, #lemmy and #pixelfed - One account. no worries

The issue is at the same time as making editorial and commercial decisions about what context is shown to people they rely on legal protections based on the fact they are a common carrier rather than having a degree of editorial control.
@fne8w2ah @technology
The important thing here is this avoids what happened with (and sorry i have to mention this ) #wordpress where one guy personally ran the org that guided the development of the software and then created dependencies on a central site he personally owns to control updates and access to plugins
Ownership of #trademark terms are important and open structures for things like.joinmastodon.org is as well

Unlikely but check doc.e.foundation/what-s-e
@SuperSaiyanSwag
I was looking at options such as a Degoogled #Android Tablet or something like a HP Pro X2 Tablet 612 G2 with #Ubuntu. Then the software is the key. #HomeAssistant I guess would provide the UI - hopefully with voice. I'm still trying to get a jitsi instance running on #yunohost
I also found this thing. Which has an interesting form factor but no idea what the underlying spec is banana-pi.org/web/index.php?to…
Along with some weird stuff on ebay
I kinda wish the #mycroft had been more successful .. or someone else would have anotehr go.
And pulling it apart m.youtube.com/watch?v=UeZGYwN6…
I found the #Lenovo #smartclock which runs a version of #Android and has people tinkering with it xdaforums.com/t/xiaomi-mi-smar…
Alexa Show, Lenovo Smart Clock Smart Display alternative.
Im interested if people are finding anything witha similar form factor to Alexa Shows or Lenovo smart clocks that can run Linux ?
Im particularly interested in something with a decent speaker, integrated camera and display. Ideally 12v DC or POE powered.
I'm also looking for self hosted apps with pushtotalk or Dropin features.
I know I could probably cobble something together but ideally something well formed but would be cool.
What are people's thoughts / suggestions?
