I don’t want a dumb TV, and I don’t want to choose between “convenience and privacy” - I want a TV with a slot for basically a RasPi cartridge I can slot in that runs my own goddamn OS as the smart TV. This isn’t rocket science. This shouldn’t require compromise. Imagine if in 1995 every desktop PC had Windows 95 hardwired into the motherboard as the only OS that could boot; it’s deranged.

The real problem is that there’s no profit in any of the innovation we actually want, and that’s capitalism’s fault for being unable to deliver.

It’s in heaven (angels in heaven is normal), and the devil is obviously coming back from a meeting with god.

Fuck that, I’m nostalgic because there was an actual aesthetic with character. “Modern” flat UIs are boring and flat.
