Can’t do that anymore

What is “that”? I just bought a Google TV and was able to install Projectivy Launcher fine?

Definitely not WebOS. I have an Nvidia Shield that runs Android TV, which is nice because there’s a wide selection of apps and you can install custom launchers, Tailscale, Jellyfin, SmartTube. The downside, as I recently learned, is that your parents probably will have a harder time switching between the TV’s native OS and the Shield.

So I recently got a Google TV, which is (just?) Android TV, and that allows me to install Tailscale and Jellyfin, but since it’s 1 system, it’s easier for some folks to use. I also installed Projectivy Launcher for my parents to get rid of the default ad-ridden launcher. I haven’t yet had time to try to install SmartTube, but I think I read it’s possible…

Curious to learn more about https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ I didn’t know about that. Thanks!

1. Exporting and importing passwords is a time-consuming, annoying process
2. There’s no guarantee your exported data will be entirely (or partially) compatible with the destination app

My migration from 1Password to Bitwarden was both of those things.

Vendor lock in doesn’t mean it’s impossible to move. It means there’s a huge burden to move.

Why Forgejo Actions and not Woodpecker CI, isn’t Woodpecker on Codeberg more stable? Yes, absolutely, in fact the documentation for Forgejo Actions on Codeberg is out of date right now

Waah?

Forgejo Actions will just feel way more familiar coming from GitHub Actions. The UI and YAML syntax is almost identical, and the existing actions ecosystem mostly works as-is on Codeberg.

Ah, ok. I don’t care about that.

Setting up woodpecker.

One of the huge benefits of using a third party manager is that your data is more portable! If you wanna use Firefox today, cool. But what if you want to use Safari tomorrow? Or Chrome later? Don’t self vendor lock yourself. I see those built-in OS/browser password managers as traps to prevent you from leaving.

We’re a huge country I guess. I’ve experienced pretty much the exact opposite as you.

2. almost everyone I know takes home some portion of their meal from a restaurant. So that single portion is really two, or maybe three.

Most people around me have the waiter take their half-eaten plate away. Apparently, food waste is considered polite or something around me. If you actually try to finish your plate, you get made fun of. (I’ve been made fun of.) I guess it makes you look poor or desperate or starving or something?

3. IME people don’t usually have giant portions at home, they sometimes do of course, but things tend to be more sane for home cooked meals for your family. They also tend to be a lot more balanced, with more veg and grain.

The dinner plates my family and my wife’s family (and extended family) have for dinner are quite large and they usually get filled up. Usually meat is the biggest portion of that plate, followed by carbs, and then veggies are the smallest (if present at all). My wife’s family in particular always, always, always, has ice cream or cake or cookies after dinner.

My wife and I use smaller dinner plates, and again, surprise, get made fun of because we’re eating such “tiny” (normal) portions.

which by the way was not expected to give perfect answers to questions

Except that’s how a lot of people treat it. And there’s so way to guard against that.

… You know… yeah, that’s true. One of the huge benefits of using some open source library is that you don’t have to maintain it. But if you clean room it, then it’s all on you.

Although, companies like Amazon will have the engineers to maintain it internally. But a lot of other companies won’t.

And then you have the chardet guy: https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/327

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fight back? Should we start withholding test suites now? Withhold docs?

Half of the US used to be Mexico, so US Spanish is mostly Mexican Spanish. We don’t use vosotros. My high school Spanish teacher (yes, I took it because it was easy) would always skip conjugations of vosotros entirely.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone use vosotros here. We understand it, but it’s very uncommon. Univisión, Telemundo, Estrella, TeleXitos all mostly use Mexican Spanish. Same goes for the radio.

It’s a little more nuanced than that.

I will gladly write my own small, half-assed framework that I 100% know, can reason about, can debug, and can extend to fit my requirements. I will gladly pass on a fat-assed, bloated framework with a million dependencies, where I only need a few features, and where if I need something that isn’t offered by the framework I have to submit a PR or add some janky-ass workaround.

Apparently you maybe be able to migrate whole communities (and subscribers!?) to Piefed?!

Piefed is part of the fediverse, same as Lemmy. Piefed can talk with Lemmy; Lemmy can talk with Piefed.

Can the spaces/subreddits whatver they are called

They’re called communities or comms.

Fairphone 6 with Android. Waiting for Motorola+GrapheneOS phone.

An inspiration. I salute you, sir. I’m attempting the same.

Perfect is the enemy of good. Moving to Signal would be way better than getting analysis paralysis and staying with Whatsapp.
