  • Depends what you use Kodi for. If it’s for accessing media files on a network drive, Infuse is the “gold standard” media player for the AppleTV.

    It’s not free, though. But it’s far more stable and nicer to use than Kodi ever was in my experience. I ran Kodi for my home theatre for years but switched to AppleTV+Infuse and never looked back.

    For free (and open source!) options you can use the Swiftfin tvOS app and a Jellyfin media server.

  • > I fail to see what value these glasses bring that a smartphone with a camera can't do already ?

    Stop thinking like an end user and think like a Meta shareholder.

    Meta don't own smartphone hardware or operating systems. Apple and Android locked that market up. But if they can create a new market and own that, then imagine all the data they can harvest!

  • Did people learn nothing from the rise, stall, and now fall of social networks?

    Yes, AI can do some incredible things. But we’re also running full speed into an ecosystem controlled by 2 or 3 major companies. Running at a loss. A reality check is coming.

    It’s not a technology problem. It’s an economic problem. People are too busy looking at the tech to notice.

  • Annoyingly I can not get it to work on mobile (iOS Safari). Loading the url cause the page to refresh and take me to the main page.

  • Then Google can copy it with a series of a dozen product launches and closures over the next decade.

    Google BT Chat. Android B Chat. Google Relay.

    And Microsoft can get on board, too. With Microsoft Teams Decentralised For School and Work.
