You're essentially describing a turing machine. I don't mean to be facetious and I don't have proof for this but my gut tells me by the time you make something this generic it will no longer be a "universal programming language" and will become a specification to allow for anything while failing to provide anything actually useful.

Anything more specific and you're essentially implementing YACC or some form of code generation that's already been invented and is not specific enough to be useful for this purpose.

EDIT: In my mind it's like saying we have cars, boats, airplanes, bicycles, etc. Why isn't there a platform where if we wanted we could add wings and jet engines and make it into a plane? Or instead add a horse and carriage? Or 4 wheels and a steering wheel?

Maybe you could do so, but the result wouldn't be anything actually useful because making a plane has specific design goals that aren't shared with a bicycle.

You can sync your settings across installs. There's a setting and a wiki page for automatic sync or you can manually sync by exporting/importing a file.

Thank you! I'm in the same situation as OP and looking at the homebrew store it even includes apps for the other things I'm missing too! (CrunchyRoll and Jellyfin).

Do you happen to know if there's any way I can get ChromeCast like functionality from my TV? It's my last remaining little niggle with the TV.

EDIT: unfortunately LG has patched out the ability for rootmy.tv to work

Do you think you can get Firefox on an LG TV? I don't know of anyway this is possible.

The docs do imply this but I've had Jellyfin sideloaded via developer mode for a few weeks and I've never had to renew anything. It may have changed recently. This is on a C8.

The more generic you make something the worse it is at specific goals. The more use cases you support, the more complex and harder to maintain, the more it's likely to fail. There will never be a "universal" programming language.

Imagine if you had a programming language that did "everything". Well there are people who want a simple programming language. Don't these two things seem completely at odds?

While there are community setups that allow you to have a fully functioning Hyprland out of the box setup in the same vain as GNOME, and they do work great, you also lose some of the charm having your own setup with your own keybinds, etc. You're essentially learning someone else's setup and never truly feels "yours". If you're looking for this experience it gets you 80% of the way to the ease of use of GNOME.

They should use a portion of these funds to setup specific task forces to dig deeper into the company and provide oversight indefinitely. $4.3B is a lot of money, you could fund an agency forever and still have change.

That's a suspicious defence. There's always a first time right?

The only "solution" I've settled on is uBlock Origin + element zapper whenever I need to. Yes, it's annoying even when you have all the annoyance filter lists enabled. But you only do it (ideally) once per site and forget about.

They fired him because they made an AI that could do some basic maths. Am I reading that right?
