@nprofile…yzy8 I got rid of my Roku TV because it was too buggy -- eventually it got to hard-freezing randomly a few times a week, requiring power cycling. Otherwise a very nice TV for the money, but that's a deal breaker, never again for me.

@nprofile…myvq OK, this one is actually readable and does have some interesting points, but the elephant in the room is that he asserts that it will 10x your productivity, but it utterly exhausts you to do so... without explaining why it's so much more exhausting than "ordinary" work.

@nprofile…48vs From Google's 2008 blog post:

"In other words, if a ruler announced that henceforth the Pacific Ocean would be named after her mother, we would not add that placemark unless and until the name came into common usage"

@npub1l7d…g5g5 @npub1hx9…lyhl it's occurred to me more than once that DVD-era Netflix was the Golden Age Of Movie Availability, which we may never see again, due 100% to legal nonsense rather than technical reasons.
