slop
In this instance it’s slop vs. slop though.
It looks like this works like an Android phone debloater, which have existed for a long time.
Making a script that uninstalls packages via Android Debug Bridge (adb) is trivial. The actual hard part of is knowing what can be uninstalled without breakage, which can only be figured out via trial and error.
At best, this rips off the hard work of people who did the trial and error, and at worst this just removes random stuff with literally zero testing.
I don’t think fighting slop with slop will work, it just looks to me like you now have even more slop spreading even faster everywhere.
Whoever wins, we’re eatin’ slop.
Its not even a full project, you need to slop it yourself. That’s some bullshit.
Love when a few simple scripts become a full fat application that does the same thing, but with a trenchcoat of professionalism.
you don’t need to slop anything yourself, just build the apk and install it yourself smdh
Aaaaargh I’m so conflicted because this looks really cool and useful but I’m really suspicious of anything AI
Like I don’t want to accept all this vibecoded stuff only for it to come out in a few months that this was all a PR stunt to make AI more accepted and fuck up opensource spaces
Is Projectivy Launcher something you might enjoy?
Absolutely! Thank you! And this one isn’t pushing AI?
I installed it a couple years ago, I’ve never heard anything AI related from them.
Don’t think it’s open source, but looking at what is available, I’m seeing normal commit messages (not ones that are paragraphs long) and no AGENTS.md files in sight.
What a ludicrous amount of slopped out documentation, I ain’t reading all that.
The best option is to not have your TV hooked up to a network, period. No Wi-Fi, no CAT cable.
Use a dedicated computing device via HDMI to handle anything a smart TV would do instead.
That’s what I do, but I guess a lot of people don’t have a spare computer to hook up to their tv.
I use an rpi4 running LibreElec (can also run LineageOS TV unofficial), but a 15yo ThinkPad would do as well or better. Though it would use more electricity.
Yeah, rpi is a good fit for this.
They have gotten too expensive in the last year, though. Wish other ARM SBCs were as widely supported.
I’m kind of excited for RISCV boards like OrangePi
