Oh god, what don’t I like. I like everything from Thrash/Death and Progressive Metal to classical piano and everything in between. Folk music, music from other cultures, Middle-Eastern, Greek, Spanish, South Asian, East Asian, Caribbean, etc. Good video game music, like the Ori soundtrack, lots of Mario games have good soundtracks, like the Galaxy games. Zelda games. Horizon games.

The list goes on. Ever expanding. 🤯

So… not on my TV then?

Saving this post to go spelunking after it has amassed some replies. Great question! I love music exploration.

Nah, Pi-Hole has never been able to block YT ads.

Thanks for the correction!

Yes, Pihole can solve that. “Normal” people don’t have Piholes though. And “normal” people really do purchase televisions, and install the YouTube app and watch videos with it.

Even better, yeah. So this solution shouldn’t feel necessary unless as a last ditch effort, definitely.

Would that allow me to log in to my YouTube account, watch my curated recommendations, thousands-of-items Watch Later list, watch shorts, etc, just without ads?

Big no thank you to anything Nvidia. Plasma Bigscreen doesn’t seem production-ready yet, by the looks of its web site. Either way, that would require me to get a PC and run its output to my TV, right? I’m unfortunately not considering that option right now.

CachyOS, Steam Machine, I already have a beast Arch Linux PC that I game on, so that’s not necessary. But what about that Waydroid business? Would I flash that on to my LG TV and run that as its OS or what is that about? All of these github projects that people link to do such a terrible job of explaining what it is exactly that they offer, and what to do with them.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Anything for WebOS (LG TVs)?

This should only become a necessary solution if YouTube invents a way to inject ads directly into the video stream of the video you’re watching, like old school broadcasting.

Is that available for TVs?

Is that available for TVs?

If you just click into the article you are absolutely blasted with statement after statement that this is only for TVs. Obviously if you have an ad blocker you wouldn’t see ads. 🙂

I find subscribing to newsletters is comfortable. I get the most important stuff, and it’s good enough.

🤮

There’s also this.

As with anything, breaking muscle memory takes a lot of will power, as well as time. 😅

Take it from someone who went from regular QWERTY row-staggered keyboards to a split column-staggered keyboard with Colemak-DH. Went from 117 words per minute, to 20. It was brutal. Took me a few minutes to reply with simple sentences at work. Still not up to full speed a year later. But the ergonomics are worth it.

Same with Helix IMO. It includes the kitchen sink, and the Selection Editing paradigm makes so much more sense to me compared to macros in *vim. Because it clicked immediately with me, it didn’t take long to get used to it. Been using it professionally and at home for about 2 years.

Helix, just as Kakoune before it, supports multiple cursor selections, even off-screen. 👍 Mouse selections are also not a problem. NeoVim also has support for mouse selection.

Feel free to try it out! Setting up LSPs requires some setup work, but if you just want to try out the editing paradigm, you can just try to edit a plain text file to get a feel for it.

Oh. Ouch. Then I wish you good luck in finding a better alternative than VS Code! 🖖

🧬❤️ Yeah!

Zed even has Helix bindings! But I recommend Gram, in that case, which is a fork of Zed with all the AI bullshit ripped out. 👍👊
