Or just plug in a regular laptop when you want to watch something. That’s my move.
On top of crap hardware, “smart” TVs are a pretty serious security vulnerability, too. Better to not have it on the same network as your primary devices.

“Society if Piped would actually play videos,” for me :( I’ve had some luck with Invidious, but I haven’t been able to get videos playing on Piped for some months now.
Well… That’s like alot of steps, lol. In UX design, we would call that a violation of the Three Click rule, and obfuscating the expression of user intent.
Like… Do you gain anything from these launchers? I guess Frosty you opt into because you use it to manage your mods. Maybe launching through that is how your mods get bootstrapped. Kay cool.
Epic games, you definitely need and want to use for other reasons-- Shopping for games and managing your library-- but is it really benefitting you to open that app so that you can open the app you actually want to use? Maybe you have a reason that you actually like that better, idk, but I’d rather just open the app that I want.
And then the EA app… What does it offer that makes it worth putting another step between you and your game? Login to the EA account you don’t need? DRM? Ads for other games? The premise of most launchers is that the company has some goals that you don’t share, and they’re willing to add friction to your experience to achieve those.
Some launchers aren’t so bad. I dunno what EA’s deal is. Speaking of Ubisoft Connect specifically:
Those things aren’t necessarily all bad per se, and you’d certainly tolerate them for some apps… But it’s a big imposition for the company to insist on, IMO, and part of the reason for the launcher hate.
I didn’t downvote btw, I think you’re entitled to your opinion and maybe you’re fine with the launchers you use… But personally, I just choose not to play Ubisoft games for that reason, even though there are games that I would like to have played.
Ubisoft Connect, no thanks.
That’s pretty cool of you to show up to the conversation in good faith tbh.
That second one is the real killer.
Well defined and constrained responsibility: No problem.
Open-ended obligation to people you don’t know: Bottomless pit of potential despair.
Lol I actually kind of like having a lawn to mow, but yeah it sucks to have to.
Is it in your lease that you need to mow the lawn? Here, it’s the landlord’s responsibility unless you specifically agree to it.
Umm no cause skate shoes are lava-proof for 1 second at a time???
Those questions/claims are really interesting as like… A way to teach children how to think about scale and approximation and stuff.
Adults holding those beliefs both a) sincerely and b) defensively though… Less cute.
Spinach, peas
Are they bad for dogs? Or are you mad cause you wanted them?
Wow what a scumbag. I hope word gets around-- This should be the top search result for “Adam Malamis” or “Simalam web development.”

I know even less about Overwatch lol, but that sounds about right.
Nothing wrong with short articles. It’s better than sifting through paragraphs of “Electric cars are an innovative technology that take many of the featues of…” just to get to the relevant content.
Better than spreading one contiguous body of content across five tweets too, IMO.
I don’t see the problem with being concise.
Can confirm other opinions:
The game and the show aren’t really related at all. AFAIK, if you’ve played the game, you just get to be like “Oh hey that’s one of the characters you can choose” once in awhile… But there’s no overlapping plot or anything.
Not sure if pleased or screaming 🤔
