Depends on your needs. If you just stream via Jellyfin/Plex I’d recommend Kodi+Linux on a raspberry pi or something. There are premade distributions like OSMC for this niche. If you need Netflix/Disney+ etc you’re basically fucked on the FOSS front, the only option I know is either LineageOS’s TV version though that isn’t as well supported as the mobile version and there are some DRM shenanigans or just using Linux with a keyboard+mouse combo and a browser, though you will be limited by resolution. On the non FOSS front I have heard good things about the NVIDIA shield/apple tv though that is expensive, or using Windows with the native streaming apps and a frontend (eg Steam Big Picture).

Was that just the founder or is that official for the project? Because my last stand is that /e/os have taken this stance:

We use LLM tools in the development of Catodon. If that is something you do not approve of, this may not be the project for you. It works for us 😺

Always good to see this being disclosed

Most likely they mirror the data from OSM and then use their own search algorithm, this is what most OSM based apps do

AFAIK this was always the plan, they were just getting bombarded in so much Slop that they made a full pause on all AI assisted work. There still is this part of the policy:

Reviewers may reject a submission, including without further review, based on the extent or role of generated material or concerns about its review, quality, or maintainability.

which is intended to get rid of the completely vibecoded slop. Flathub is taking a similar stance to it as to proprietary software: They allow it but don’t support it
