This is not a good point. This is just a company making us their unpaid employees.

Reminders to run the tub wash cycle are helpful, or when airflow is bad, etc

Ok

Yeah if I recall correctly it was basically a mix between Squid Game and Hunger Games? Before either one existed.

Hey I know that series! And agree, though I think the last few books kinda lost me.

Those channels precisely. They get ad revenue when you watch it on their channels. If they can get Roku to bring them traffic, Roku would charge for that. No engineering effort goes unpaid.

Uff between ads and interlaced content?? I’d still try to find a dumb 1080p…

Right after you can’t return it anymore?? Evil

I guarantee you someone paid Roku to do this

No, you can’t. I’m running pihole and have a TCL Roku tv connected via HDMI to an Apple TV, and the ROKU APP RECOGNIZES CONTENT FROM IT and makes the suggestion, overlaying it OVER THE HDMI STREAM.

It’s the worst

No, the solution is not going back to cable. The solution is the high seas

I still get Roku recommendations on plex content from my Apple TV. They are doing content recognition off of the hdmi input

I do fairly complex programming and still use chat gpt. It will contribute to be helpful to say “write me a function that does this” rather than “how do I code this”

At one of those bible study after church things, I asked the priest if when I die and go to heaven, I’ll get answers to things I’ve always wondered, like how many stars there are, or since I’m outside of time then, be able to observe historic events like building of pyramids or the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs , or supernovas, or how technology would be in the future.

… he said that I wouldn’t care, I’d be too busy being astounded by the face of god for all eternity.

Which I thought was the lamest way to spend eternity, and what’s worse, would mean that my main trait at the time, curiosity, wouldn’t be part of me when I’m in heaven. Then would it really be me up there?

Act 2. I eek out the “why does a loving god allow souls to be tortured and burnt for all eternity” question to a different priest and got some answer like hell is just the absence of god. Which, I can understand why to him that’s torture but for me… it seemed more like a “ok you don’t want to stare at my godly face for eternity? Be elsewhere then with your fellow non believers “. Which from my pov, it’s like ok no big deal then?

And from there the shadow of doubt grew enough and now I understand this is all there is so we just gotta make the best of it, and try to push the envelope for humanity in any way we can.

Man, and I thought I had bacon in my heart

Ok… unzips go on

But it’s very common to have nsfw alts in other instances. My feeds in Reddit were also quite different depending on which account I was using. When people are wanting to “discover” content, they’ll find it, they don’t need to have it intermixed with their memes, news, politics, recipes, weird hobby community (ok maybe here’s overlap lol), etc.

But there are instances dedicated to nsfw

In their minds they weren’t wrong they just succeeded in stopping it

After 1000 years is that when he became white?
