Buying a TV these days, means trying to avoid endless enshitification:
-Spyware and adware
-Shitty AI upscaling/ frame interpolation
-HW that breaks after 2 - 3 years
-One off OS, dead on arrival
-Android OS, that starts lagging after the third update
-8 buttons worth of ads, on your remote

You probably have to make some kind of a compromise. I thought that was buying from some other brand like Hyundai, but that one also felt into some of those categories and just broke, after less than 3 years of use. At this point I’ll probably go back to LG and hope their HW is still reliable and the rest manageable… It has AI bullshit and knowing LG, probably some spyware you have to try your best to get rid of, can buy a remote with “only” 2 ads on it, some web-based OS shared between all their TVs, that usually gets 4 - 5 years worth of updates and works decently enough afterwards.

At this point, I’ll probably settle for anything that doesn’t literally fall apart, not even 3 years in, like the Hyundai did.

↳ In-reply-to » @lyse Nice! Next up: Passing file descriptors over Unix sockets. 😃

Thanks, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! That seems to be much easier. It’s already implemented in the Python docs as examples of recvmsg(…) and sendmsg(…):

I looked at them sooo many times in order to figure out why my SCM_CREDENTIALS sending code didn’t work. :-D

And on a similar note, cross-post from Mastodon:

What I love about HTML and HTTP is that it can degrade rather gracefully on old browsers.

My website isn’t spectacular but I don’t think it looks horrible, either. And it’s still usable just fine all the way down to WfW 3.11:

It’s not perfect, but it’s usable. And that makes me happy. Almost 30 years of compatibilty.

The biggest sacrifice is probably that I don’t enforce TLS and that HTTP 1.0 has no Host: header, so no vhosts (or rather, everything must come from the default vhost). (Yes, some old browsers send Host:, even though they predate HTTP 1.1. Netscape does, but not IBM WebExplorer, for example.)

(On the other hand, it might completely suck on modern mobile devices. Dunno, I barely use those. 🤪)

↳ In-reply-to » I've just released version 1.0 of twtxt.el (the Emacs client), the stable and final version with the current extensions. I'll let the community maintain it, if there are interested in using it. I will also be open to fix small bugs. I don't know if this twt is a goodbye or a see you later. Maybe I will never come back, or maybe I will post a new twt this afternoon. But it's always important to be grateful. Thanks to @prologic @movq @eapl.me @bender @aelaraji @arne @david @lyse @doesnm @xuu @sorenpeter for everything you have taught me. I've learned a lot about #twtxt, HTTP and working in community. It has been a fantastic adventure! What will become of me? I have created a twtxt fork called Texudus (https://texudus.readthedocs.io/). I want to continue learning on my own without the legacy limitations or technologies that implement twtxt. It's not a replacement for any technology, it's just my own little lab. I have also made a fork of my own client and will be focusing on it for a while. I don't expect anyone to use it, but feedback is always welcome. Best regards to everyone. #twtxt #emacs #twtxt-el #texudus

We havet an AI assistant at work, new version came out today “nearby restaurant recommendations” mentioned. Gotta try that!

Ask it where I can get a burger, knowing there’s 3 spots that had it on the menu, AI says there’s none. Ask it to list all the restaurants nearby it can check… it knows 3, of the 10 or so around, but 1/3, even has a burger, on the menu.

Ask it to list the whole menu at restaurant 1: it hallucinates random meals, none of which they had (I ate there).

Restaurant 2 (the one most people go to, so they must have at least tested it with this one): it lists the soup of the day and ¾ meals available. Incomplete, but better than false.

Restaurant 3: it says “food” and gives a general description of food. You have to be fucking kidding me!

bon en fait mon script pour convertir ma bibliothèque en mp3 faisait du caca. J’ai revu ma copie en 3 parties : rsync des fichiers, find avec print0 pour la conversion et éviter les soucis de noms de fichier, xargs pour convertir plusieurs fichiers en parallèle, find pour supprimer les fichiers d’origine. Pas très efficace, prend de la place, mais ça marche…

Ça y est, je suis officiellement un vieux daron : quand ma fille de 3 ans m’a demandé de la musique à la radio de la voiture, la seule station qui avait quelque chose d’écoutable était Nostalgie. 😫

↳ In-reply-to » Also, I should cut down on coffee. Seriously, I've nearly had a ... I honestly don't know what it was; A Panic attack? A heart attack? I dunno, I just felt like my heart and lungs were so about to burst I had to go for a run to cope.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I use to be a pot or more a day but have cut that back in the last 4 or so years to just 2-3 cups. Main reason was because I was getting jittery which didn’t happen before. I do think it is good to go without periodically (probably applies to more things than coffee) to just reset the system.

I don’t drink it often but decaf’s taste has gotten better too.

↳ In-reply-to » "A handbag belonging to the homeland security secretary Kristi Noem containing her passport, department security badge and $3,000 in cash was stolen on Sunday night at a restaurant in Washington, the department confirmed."

That’s exactly what came to mind. Even millionaires would simply pay with a credit card for the convenience, and yes, because what kind of a sociopath will carry $3,000 around?! Just one more stumping item to that despicable person list.

↳ In-reply-to » @andros maybe create a separate, completely distinct feed for DM? That way, clients do not need to do anything, only those wanted to "talk in private" follow themselves, using their very special dm-only.txt feeds. 😂

After reading you, @eapl.me@eapl.me, I’ll tell you my point of view.
In my opinion, a feed does not have to be equivalent to a timeline. A timeline is a representation of the feed adapted to a user. You may not be interested in seeing other people’s threads or DMs. But perhaps they are interested in seeing mentions or DMs directed at them. It is important not to fall into the trap. With that clarification…
I insist, this is my point of view, it is not an absolute truth: I don’t think extensions should be respectful of customers who are no longer maintained.
We cannot have a system that is simple, backwards compatible and extensible all at the same time. We have to give up some of the 3 points. I would not like to give up simplicity because it will then make it harder to maintain the customers who do stay. Therefore, I think it is better to give up backwards compatibility and play with new formulas in the extensions. I don’t think it’s a good idea to make a hash keep so much load: a hashtag, a thread and also a DM.

↳ In-reply-to » @lyse It wasn’t our building, yeah, luckily. But I’m pretty scared it might happen some day. I think I’ll put more effort into preparing for that. But whatever I do, it would be horrific to lose all your stuff and the memories attached to it …

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That is a good question, I’ve been on v0.17.3 for some time. In the past there has been one scheme update that I remember and the there was no issue. Maybe this next week I will try out v0.18 and post back.

I really don’t mess with it being on a cron so tend to forget until I need it :-)
