Shifty Eyes

You might consider a linux tablet, and then just watch whatever it is you’re trying to watch through a webapp (firefox) or Freetube/Peertube for youtube content, Grajay, and the linux Jellyfin app.

Just put a car battery in the wagon, all set.

Go into your settings, you can block whatever user, community, or instance you feel like blocking. You should have the option so you don’t need to block individual users.

Defederating the entire instance seems excessive for this use case.

If they’re wearing headphones outdoors/in public instead of earbuds or noise isolating in-ear monitors, they deserve all the sweat lol.

Otherwise for those of you at home:

What Are Open-Back Headphones?

The 6 Best Open-Back Headphones of 2025

No more sweaty ears once I switched from noise-cancelling Sony and Bose bluetooth headphones, to a cheap bluetooth neckband type earphones. I swapped out the earbuds for some silicon noise-isolating ones that fit snugly in the ear canal.

Got a fancy open-backed headphone for gaming/music on the PC.

This is Luge for anyone curious

Some food for thought, (excerpt from Louis Rossmann’s reply to the top pinned comment):

"with regards to products: if you want to only buy shoes, razors, cars, caulking materials, etc, made by companies & people who support all of your political beliefs, you’re going to lose that game very fast. you will waste your life doing the following:

1. researching every item you buy to death
2. making these items yourself once you realize it’s impossible to find each item you want made by someone who mirrors your ideology
3. give up & live in a cave

The moment you go down that road of throwing away software products and services because they are made by people whose political beliefs do not reflect yours, you are going to end up living in a cave. That is a lonely world. It doesn’t even work!! People who bought the Tesla Model 3 a few years ago would have Ford F-250 Turbo Diesel drivers speed up in front of them and roll coal in their face. And now that same person is getting called a Nazi!!!

the political beliefs of the software i use are irrelevant to me. They only become relevant when these questions arise:

1. does it stop me from using the software the way i want?
2. do their political beliefs keep them from being able to make a functioning product?

for gnome, #2 is yes. gnome was bad 10 years ago,it was bad 5 years ago, and it’s bad now. i used gnome for a very short time period earlier in 2024 out of morbid curiosity. my machine had 128 gigabytes of ram, rtx-2080, threadripper 2950x processor and gnome still lagged. XFCE just worked! on top of that, gnome sucked to use. i am not using gnome: whether it’s “woke” or “anti woke” or whatever else.

if we’re at a point in the world where we choose our web browser by the political views of its programmers… we’re screwed"
