I put on my robe and wizard hat
When our last TV which was ‘smart’ died, we just bought a big lcd monitor at the pawn shop. We already were only using Kodi on an Android box, so a monitor with external speaker is fine. (Seemed spyware free last time I checked, but beware no-name android media boxes on=from eBay etc., use a tiny or old spare PC instead if you wish).
One must ‘sail the high seas’ tovget content, of course…
No, I know that – I honestly want them both to die :p
Both have been a blight on software development for decades.
Can Oracle kill javascript as well, please? Please?
Back to the high seas, mates. Yarrr.
That’s my phone notification tone
You can, but now it’s called “a big monitor and your own server with a personal media library”.
Individual does this – CFPA indictment instantly.
MegaCorp does this – Oh dear, we absolutely must meet to plan to implement a meeting to form a panel that will plan to meet to maybe ask nicely that MegaCorp stop what they’re doing (or pay us lots of lobbying funds to make it go away, which it will do anyhow, just not quite as quietly as if they pay us $$$)
I’ve spent the last 4 months living this. Thank you I hate it.
EDIT: Actually my entire career, but most painfully the last 4 months. I hate it. And, yet, I must eat, so I endure.

Gee, no one could have predicted that AI might be dangerous if given access to nukes.
Have you heard of our Lord and Saviour, APL?
Can confirm. I can’t give details, but … yeah. Had to file a card just last month about a uint32_t UTC time value being used in a device-to-cloud message where it will definitely need to be upgraded to a uint64_t before good ol’ 2038 comes …
I searched some more, and I had to stop since it just made me more frustrated :)
Listen to this clip (find the Podcast link halfway down the page with a short audio clip):

The narrator even prefaces the discussion by saying “… EEE PEE OOOH CEEE EAYCHH”. Guh!! :P
Or, please consider Devuan as well, to ensure there are distros without hard dependencies on systemd, an expansive attempt to cement IBM/RedHat’s control over the direction of Linux through foundational changes to the init, filesystem, login, homedir, and other components…
Please don’t bother replying to change my mind… never gonna like systemd no matter what. If it works for you, fine. Some of us still find it wholly unnecessary.
