I'm out of the loop on this. Could you point me in a certain direction where I could read about this?

You could get a SFF PC like the other reply mentioned, and install something like Plasma Bigscreen[1] on it.

But then you don't have any of the big streaming services, so it's not really an alternative to Roku.

You'll need to do a little more legwork to replace them.

> You'll need to do a little more legwork to replace them.

That's true. You will need to install the applications by yourself. A bit of work but worth it, I think.

Are the desktop apps usable with a controller?

Last time I tried they didn't work well at all.

What I meant was getting a media server running.

Hello Nirav,

When can we expect Framework to start accepting orders from India?

I'm wondering the same thing. I don't imagine India to be a very big market though.

This struck a chord with me. If you don't mind, could you please explain more about how you changed your mindset? It seems like you're talking about letting go as opposed to maintaining tight control.

I don't think that's a stupid question.

It's useful to read philosophy as we're exposed to the thought process of that specific author/philosopher. A lot of times, the conclusion you arrive at is influenced heavily by the lens through which you view the presuppositions.

It's useful to be exposed to different viewpoints and conclusions. You often read something that gives you pause, and you think, "I never thought of it that way."

Could you elaborate on the similarities between Shiva Sutra and Japanese Iroha?

I didn't know about Shiva Sutra until today, but I just thought it was interesting they both have 47 syllables, although not identical.

Jim Carrey, too, seems to have reached the same conclusion as Marlon Brando with regards to fame, status, and monetary wealth.

That's a bit ironic considering that Marlon Brando was considered one of the most difficult actors to work with due to his massive ego.

KDE Neon[1] is based on Ubuntu LTS.

A part of me agrees with the statement. But how do you gauge what kind of an effect (negative, specifically) porn consumption has? Excessive usage does affect an individuals life negatively. What about minimal to moderate usage?

I suppose in many ways it's similar to alcohol. The ones who can handle their booze and drink responsibly have no issues.

I know that you haven't made any explicit statement about whether pornography should be banned. According to you, what would an ideal solution to this problem look like?

Irrelevant. Even you discuss it as a necessary evil

I mentioned war in response to your comment relating to mass killing. Again, it's not ideal. But it is necessary, evil as it may be. Like capital punishment.

I will set aside the discussion of whether or not it is necessary.

My point is that even if it were sometimes necessary, any incidental benefits derived from it do not suddenly make it desirable or good.

I agree.
