what is the best out-of-the-box (more or less) streaming box?

preview

i tried using a linux machine with plasma bigscreen but it just wasn’t for me, and I kinda miss my chromecast’s simplicity. So is there any streaming box or whatever that’s decently easy to set up and also respects my privacy? I know that it’s basically impossible but I just want to know what the best option is. Also I’m in europe so no Onn. boxes and stuff. I would also like it to be second hand since the prices are a bit better

best free icon packs on android??!??!?1W?1?!??+!W?!1++W!w+!w+!?

preview

I have looked for SO long, I’ve tried every icon pack on f-droid, I’ve looked through the play store multiple times (either they were ugly or collected all of my precious data 🥹), I’ve even tried to make my own icon pack with renkin but it barely works (I’m not interested in fixing it) SO I just need some icon packs to look through

also I’m pretty picky, and I want either funny/kinda cursed or something that isn’t flat design and monochrome

is degoog a decent search engine?

degoog.org
preview

i was looking at lemmy posts and found a post about alternatives to searxng, and one person commented degoog

i tried it and honestly it seems pretty good, but im not sure how privacy-friendly it is, so im just making sure that its privacy friendly enough (i use DDG for reference)

privacy friendly minecraft client?

preview

I’m using lunar client and its pretty decent but im kinda worried about data collection. It’s probably not horrible but still, i want to be pretty sure that it doesn’t collect any data, or atleast not a lot. I want something like lunar just more private and maybe foss as well? Also it needs to work on linux

thank guy

should i worry about a microphone in a third-party usb tv remote for a mini pc that im planning on using?

preview

im tryna get a mini pc and make it a streaming box, but i of course need a remote but the ones that actually look comfortable seem to have microphones in them, and i don’t think that i will take it apart to remove the microphone. So should i just not care since im gonna use it on linux or is there an easier way to remove/break the microphone?

also does the lg remote with the motion controlled cursor thingy work on every tv or does it need to be an lg?

thank guy

android customization/theming apps?

preview

cross-posted from: lemdro.id/post/44216782

i really like to customize and theme android, but it feels like basically all of the big boy apps are closed source and probably track the living shit out of you

any apps that are FOSS and doesn’t steal my data?

NOTE: im not paying for anything, i know that disqualifies alot of apps but i just want something free

best google like ecosystem?

preview

i posted this on reddit before but i wanted to get your opinion on this

i use my familys google drive/photo thing (i cant really change) and i obviously want us to switch, but my mom (who take care of this whole thing) says that she likes the ecosystem that google has. Like she uses her calendar and stuff. The closest ive found is proton, which is fine, but it doesnt really have the best rep. Any alternatives?

BTW: im not gonna self-host since im not comfortable hosting such a big thing like this
