@stevenbodzin When we got that little bit of snow a week or so ago, I was out playing with my kids and I had this weird pang of nostalgia mixed with hope mixed with loss. (Also 1970.)
@snugug in vscode, you might try creating a new profile and see if starting up from a fresh profile is any faster

I think about the ending of Roger Ebert’s 2004 review of M Night Shyamalan’s The Village on a regular basis. It is a perfect piece of writing. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-village-2004
The Village movie review & film summary (2004) | Roger Ebert

"The Village" is a colossal miscalculation, a movie based on a premise that cannot support it, a premise so transparent it would be laughable were the movie

@hbuchel not sure about their drink menu but i happened into Skinflints Irish Pub in Bay Ridge (after a tour of the Christmas Lights in Dyker Heights, much recommended) and it was super cute and Christmasy in there
@bart So sorry to hear this. Curious which instance you’re planning to migrate to?
All of this is exacerbated by the fact that LG’s settings UI was apparently designed and organized by a raccoon on meth. Wish there was a toggle switch that just said “Dumb TV” to turn all this shit off.
And even then, if you say Alexa, it still shows an undismissible alert with a link to that same user agreement. So then I have to find the LG remote (which we don’t use regularly) to get rid of it so I can go back to whatever I was watching on my Apple TV.
So far the only fix I’ve found is to navigate to Support > Privacy > Agreements and uncheck the Voice Recognition agreement and then click the Agree button. That’s right, Agree to disagree.
At some point my 2023 LG TV started responding to “Alexa”. It just opens the Alexa app which shows a QR code to sign in to Amazon and nothing else. I do not want this.
