Much lower cross-section for enemies to hit.

Vizio is the worst. I bought a TV of theirs back in 2017 because it was just a display with integrated chromecast. Having a remote with 8 buttons that does both tv volume and chromecast play/pause is awesome.

Not too long later, they mailed me a standard garbage fire smart tv remote, and pushed a software update to add all the cancerous smart TV features. I’ve never accepted the terms of service, so it still kinda works like it used to.

The funniest part is when the ToS beg window comes up every time I turn it on, I get to enjoy the incredibly condescending language telling me that I bought a smart tv and that smart tvs have certain data collection requirements. Did I buy a smart tv, vizio?

I just wish WASM could replace JS rather than merely augment it for non-DOM work.

Talk to me when it’s all battery and no gas. That’s what nuclear would be replacing, not the renewables. Nuclear and solar/wind complement each other.

Pretending that the baseload problem is solved for solar and wind doesn’t help anybody. “batteries work”, but not at the scale of the demands of a power utility when wind and solar happen not to be producing.

Because it forces me to have a snap directory in my home dir which I otherwise keep very tidy. At least let me put it in .snap or something like any decent piece of software. The snap developers don’t respect users at all.

I didn’t realize they stopped; what happened? I don’t remember hearing a hodler outcry.
