Ain’t half bad.

In principle, yes, and I believe a few small hobby projects have attempted to do this and support specific TVs. However, interest in developing a custom Smart TV platform tends to get siphoned away into a project where the output from your actual platform is displayed on the TV rather than running directly on it. Simply, it’s easier to develop and maintain support across different models.

Why would you develop a custom TV OS that runs on one TV when you could develop it for any mini PC and immediately support all TVs? You’d have to develop your OS to run on each specific TV model which will make it quite hard to reach a critical mass sufficient to attract attention from developers and users alike.

The juice isn’t really worth the squeeze. It’s not like TV vendors are publishing detailed hardware specs and drivers. Writing or even porting an OS is hard. Look at the state of the Android ROM scene, and that’s about as good as it gets when some vendors are actually attempting to open source their drivers. The difficulty is much higher and the interest lower due to the existence of a viable alternative.

With that said, motivated minds have done it anyway. You just need to have the right TV for it.

I do my best to be the change I want to see in the world and always de emphasize the significance of a vehicle as a status symbol.

I do it in small ways like not noticing what other people drive. Not taking a specific interest if someone wants to talk expensive cars. I’m not trying to rain on anybody’s parade, but I don’t want to give people the satisfaction over something that’s harmful to humans and harmful to the environment. Going out of my way to complement others about driving a vehicle that clearly meets their needs.

In general, I think we’d do well not to celebrate excess. We should recognize enough when we see it and strive for enough.

He’s into it.

I’m sure it’s been asked 1 million times but do they actually federate with us? I haven’t seen a blue sky handle.

HIPAA.

The Guardian is welcome on Lemmy anytime.

The people clearly made their choice and intentions known. It’s a shame.

Very close. But a little too soon.

Fox News? Dear god.

This always ends in a yes-men military filled with unskilled ass-kissers.

People will optimize for the grading system.

I’ve been with Fastmail for a year and it’s always been a very positive experience. Good support. If I had to pick a weak link, I think the spam filtering could be better.

They did provide the illusion of hope and a little bit of justice for the naïve for a limited time.

At least it’s better than unalived, which strikes me as especially dystopian with the self-censorship.

The only thing that matters is that he bends the knee.

Can’t be held responsible for what happens next given the circumstances.

It’s a wedge issue. Its purpose is to align groups with the Republican party that might have otherwise chosen to support the only other viable party, the Democrats. The thinking goes like this:

Well, I can’t support murder, so I have to vote for Republicans no matter what and ignore all other issues. What could be more important? I feel good closing my eyes now to feeding the poor, healing the sick, etc!

Do not try to slap the ass — that’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no ass.

Ripples begin to emanate from the closest ass cheek but vanish as soon as you look away.

It’s like beholding the face of God. You immediately crash to desktop upon attempting to render even a single frame containing that much ass.

I like that one of my first thoughts was I wonder if they’ve correctly implemented special relativity. Let’s find out!
