Fire stick works fine. Retropie is the simplest setup for a Raspberry Pi. You can also just buy one of those Anbernic handhelds with HDMI out. Most of them have bluetooth for additional controllers. I recommend replacing the OS with something like Knulli.

+1 for this recommendation. Gnome is going to feel more familiar to a MacOS user and Silverblue is very resilient.
Ohhh I totally misread your comment. Whew!
It will be attacked
If it's not then it's not living up to the Star Trek name IMO!
Dang the musical episode was a major highlight for me 🤷♂️
Pixel doesn't have eink screen though which is kind of the whole point
The LinkedIn-styled writing here is hard for me to get through, but I think the general gist is that for profit platforms are easier to onboard which I agree with. This line stands out:
And what do we get in return? A worse experience than cloud-based services.
I have to disagree somewhat, it's a different experience that is absolutely more difficult in many ways, but for those of us who value privacy, control over our data, and don't like ads, the trade-off is worth it. Also it goes without saying that the usability of selfhosted apps has exploded in the past few years and it will likely become less and less of an issue.
Fortunately "groupthink" on the fediverse isn't a structural problem since nobody controls all instances and every instance has different moderation styles.
I love the idea of an instance for a whole metro area, then each neighborhood could have it's own community.
A Raspberry Pi is pre built haha, there is nothing to build (unless I suppose you consider inserting an SD card to be "building"). Those cool mini SNES cases are really just enclosures.
For what it's worth, I saw the RetroFlag "SuperPI" SNES case in person once and was really impressed with the quality.
