Don’t worry. You’ll get the rest of the little ones with your feet.

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.

I would but I rather stay in my lane.

The joke is that BMW drivers don’t use their blinkers and may not give notice of quitting a job.

HIPAA.

And we’re made of meat!

Asking the big questions.

Universe: whoops let me fix that.

Like the horror of this code is wrong but the program works.

Very close. But a little too soon.

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.

What did you do with your old yard?

Thank you very much for the clarification. I didn’t know that was a distinct feature.

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

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!

Microsoft: Our computer.

Maybe I’m being stupid but a trivial way to ensure this is just don’t connect it to the Internet in any way. No SIM card. Cut it off from the Internet after setup, and only connect to a LAN with your chosen services all physically isolated from any internet machines.
