That decentralized and self-hostable platforms like Lemmy are fringe does not give me hope for the future of social networks on the Internet.

That would be an oxymoron.

Your Linux distribution (which?) does not package Chrome properly. What about Chromium or any other Chrome forks? I notice your beef is about a proprietary product not working properly which you need for a proprietary service. Perhaps ChromeOS would support it better.

Megawatt is a unit of power, not energy.

While you might feel (incorrectly, since you’re using Lemmy right now) that open source operating systems and the associated software ecosystem might be useless for you personally, as a blanket statement this is remarkably silly.

Maybe put Lineage OS on a compatible Android TV box. These do have remotes and have almost no Google telemetry.
