make a cli router like openrouter that just accepts your args and passes them to whichvever one is leading at the moment? could be fun.

I'd get a t-shirt or something with that Operational Guidance statement on it

This is just "Keep calm and carry on" with more steps

Linux box to Samsung TV here as well. It's awesome, best of both worlds. Stable Debian with Plasma DE in my case.

It's really too bad that Plasma's big picture mode is very WIP these days; once it's stabilized it should be a good option for this kind of thing

I just run it as a desktop and boost scaling.

No one in my family has an issue with it, use a years and years old integrated wireless mouse/touchpad and happy days, everything works as you'd expect, you can use it as a regular PC (surprisingly handy sometimes) and I can adblock the crap out of everything/use unhook to decrappify YT.

I happened to have an "old" Thinkpad (T470P, 7700HQ w/ 32GB RAM and the nvidia GPU) I wasn't using so it's left on all the time, runs the TV and serves movies over HTTP for family to watch via VLC (VLC will happily "stream" over HTTP)

One of those easy to do things where I'll never go back :).

With KDE Connect you can use your phone as a touchpad+keyboard. One less thing to get lost in the couch cushions ;)

I’m forgetful but it’s quite hard to lose an entire keyboard with integrated touch pad down the cushions.

I'm with you on this. We, the conscious I having experiences, I vent explanations with language after the fact. It's fun.

I think you meant to respond to @noduerme, not @qudat. If so, I agree with both of you, otherwise I’m confused by what you’re saying.

Huh, thanks for sharing. Funny to see the switches in the same color scheme as some of their receivers.

This is, IMO, a result of being in ecological overshoot. We've financed our growth as a species on the back of a limited supply of energy, and we're gonna go war-mode in order to win the musical chairs game that will happen as constraints on energy slow down upward economic progress. Global debt is an unfillable claim on future prosperity - We've kept kicking the can down the road until it's become feral and grown teeth. Stupid can is trying to bite our feet.

imagine finding the full text of the svg in the library of babel. Great work!

Used to joke in the kitchen that I worked in that if we were pressed for time, instead of baking something for an hour at 300°, we can just bake it for 6 minutes at 3,000°. It's such a fun concept and always makes me giggle

It's somewhat used for milk pasteurization. You can heat it to 61°C (145°F) for 30 minutes or to 72°C (162°F) for 15 seconds (yes, 0.25 minutes). More info https://www.idfa.org/pasteurization and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasteurization

This is used in software engineering too, people will say things like "you can't make a baby in a month with 9 women"

Are we making a joke about software developers chance of getting any of the nine to sleep with them?

You can't give birth to a baby in one month using 9 women.

and inflation can continue forever! no problems with that at all, the economy is definitely built on money and not a finite supply of resources constrained by entropy.

I actually don't see a problem with that because what is useful information in a price system is the relative price of things, not the absolute price, which is arbitrary.
