Is your dumb TV new or old? I’ve been trying to find something to replace my old plasma (it started to make cracking noises, that doesn’t seem like a good sign) for a while now, but it looks like every new TV is ‘smart’.

Edit: I know I can buy a smart one, don’t connect it to the internet and use it like a dumb one. I’m not dumb, the TV I want to buy should be. It’s about principles.

Doesn’t GPS work on Linux phones? As for map apps, OpenStreetMaps based apps are free and more acurate than google (atleast in my region), the only thing that might be lacking is realtime traffic information.

Feels like a LLM to me. There’s interjections in sentences, like this one, and the dash ofc. I’ve found that most models also rarely use first person pronouns (is ‘we’ first person in english?) and there’s none here (unless that’s the style those articles are writen in, idk I don’t read things like this)

Some of them also sound pointless, e.g the emoji keyboards. I know for a fact windows, macos and chromeos have inbuild emoji selectors. On linux KDE also has an selector, idk about gnome but even if it doesn’t have one there’s probably a shell exstention for that, there’s also an app called grin (or maybe smile? can’t be bothered to google rn). I literally can’t see a reason to use an web extension over those.

why bother with that in a rant, I say it’s bloat, and they were right to no use it. in fact now that im thinking about this i realize i can save a lot of time if i dont give a shit what the text looks like. cry about it
