Usually Chad VoidLinux because it avoids the Unix-philosphy ignoring piece of garbage systemD but now I'm trying NixOS

Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads (www.lowpass.cc)

Roku is exploring ways to show consumers ads on its TVs even when they are not using its streaming platform: The company has been looking into injecting ads into the video feeds of third-party devices connected to its TVs, according to a recent patent filing.  ...

The HDMI forum is run by big companies so that is not happening, sorry

I'm not an anti-systemd extremist. I use Void because it is a simple distro that doesn't break as often as Arch does, while also being very up-to-date.

I do have some things I dislike about systemd though which is why I will continue avoiding it in the future.

  • It doesn't follow the Unix Philosophy. This is a big problem for me, I want to be able to switch out different parts of my system as I please. Systemd is a collection of projects that are all so deeply integrated that you can't use them without also running the Systemd init system. And now Desktop Environments are starting to depend on Logind for example and there's no alternative for non-systemd users. (Except Elogind but that's just Logind ripped out of SystemD)
  • It's bloated and has many features I don't use. I just need an init system to start all my services at boot and restart them if they fail. Nothing more

Also using a Distro without Systemd is not really that hard

I'm 20. I don't feel this way but maybe that's because it's been this way since I learned to think. I really hope for a revolution in the US

Hell naw. Left is ok but the right I wouldn't touch with a stick. You forgot the superiour third option:

Apple Walks Back Decision to Disable Home Screen Web Apps in the EU (www.macrumors.com)

Following the release of the second beta version of iOS 17.4, it emerged that Apple had restricted the functionality of iOS web apps in the EU. Web apps could no longer launch from the ‌Home Screen‌ in their own top-level window that takes up the entire screen, relegating them to a simple shortcut with an option to open...

Yeah but it's only for Webkit. Apple Webkit is deliberately neutered so webapps don't work well with it so that people don't use them and rather buy "real" apps in the app store

Let's see how well it works before congratulating. I have a hunch it won't work well

AI generated?

I_like_cats ,

It's easy. Just open up a terminal and type

kill $PID

(Replace the $PID with the process id of the process)
if you don't know the process id you can do

killall process_name

If these don't work you can add a -9 to banish them and give them no chance to resist

I_like_cats ,

You can do

ps aux | grep -i <part of process name>

and the PID is in the second column of the output. However for this use case I recommend a process manager like htop or btop

I would like to ask that woman if she is pregnant right now. If not, call her a hypocrite
