My dog tore up the remote so we were forced to use the roku app to control the tv.
They’re showing ads on the remote app. It feels like we can never escape this dystopian hellacape.

If I could get Apple devices in an open compatibility I wouldn’t hate them I probably still wouldn’t buy them though.
My hatred comes from the fact that I believe critical thinking and mental flexibility are very important skills for people to develop at a very young age. I think one of the most important avenues for the development of reasoning and technical skills is through interaction with technology.
That technology should encourage and reward your curiosity. Apple does not reward curiosity or encourage it, it taxes it to such a degree that Apple users are by and large technologically illiterate.
I grew up on Apple computers, and when I was little the Mac nerds we’re doing some pretty cool and impressive shit with their Mac tech that you just can’t do now. It was a gateway to me learning about a lot of this technology, but they are a walled garden now, and it gets worse every year.
I’ve been programming on apple devices for over 15 years, you can do a lot with a Mac.
What can’t you do now? It’s still a full on unix system, in fact it’s way easier to get stuff done with Brew than when I started using Macs.
