Hey #Lazyverse! Looking for a new #TV set, as my old one is starting to die. Is there anything not aggressively "smart" on the market? As I'm using Roku anyway, I'd ideally like to never see the TV's own UI and never let it update itself or even connect to the Internet. Does such a thing still exist?
Picture-wise, I'm not very choosy. I'm pretty sure it's going to be better than my 15 years old plasma panel.

Mastodon FeedIrrationally bothered by packages of chicken meat that contain an odd number of wings (or drumsticks, or whatever).
I know it makes no sense but I always imagine a chicken somewhere with just one wing missing.

Today I learned you can build your own custom form elements which will validate/serialize upon submission, just like native HTML inputs [1]
Support for the ElementInternals interface landed in Chrome & Firefox years ago, and finally in the latest Safari (16.4) but there's a polyfill if you need backwards compatibility [2]

President Biden cites facts that white supremacy terror is America’s greatest domestic security threat—and MAGAs lose their minds.
Here’s the thing.
I’m Muslim. I don’t feel attacked when people condemn the Taliban because Taliban do not represent Muslims and I proudly take the lead in condemning Taliban terrorism.
If you’re MAGA white and feel personally attacked when Biden condemns white supremacy terror—you are absolutely telling on yourself.

the Russians are already being forced to keep air assets well back of the ‘main line of resistance’, and this development may force both logistics & maintenance and command & control centers to move well back too. the problem with land-based assets is that, as the range of Ukrainian strike assets gets longer, the Russians begin running out of ‘safe’ land for those assets to be based on in Crimea.
that bridge is doomed, and I’d guess soon.

“Storm Shadow’s 155-mile range more than triples the reach of the longest-range weapon provided thus far from the US as part of the HIMARS rocket artillery system. It plugs a clear gap in Ukraine’s capability for the kind of strike weapon that would enable Ukrainian forces to hit Russian command posts deep inside Crimea.”

So, #TypeScript is (mostly) a superset of #JavaScript. As a developer, I love it. But browsers don't speak it natively so you have to have a "transpilation" step before things will work in browsers.
But, why? There are tools like SWC that just parse TS and spit out JS without doing type validation. And it's super fast.
It would be awesome if browsers would just take that approach and let you use .ts files like .js files.

Instead, indies are putting out a shitload of poke-clones for the audience that has been making and playing their own pokemon fan games all along. They tend to skew adult, but not necessarily edgy. They're sometimes inspired by specific eras of the franchise: Monster Crown consciously imitates gen 2 GBC graphics. Cassette Beasts is centered around a medium that 6 year olds won't have any point of reference for.
