So setting up of LG TV with webOS. First impression is that they gave up completely on usability, first suggestion is always to use other device.
Your remote has numeric buttons! That can be used to enter text the old school way, like olg button phones.

A palm Veer running a new webOS with a modern processor and a good camera would be *chef's kiss*. Gimme back that Just Type, Touch to Share, Touchstone Charging and add USB-C...Enyo was gorgeous.

Hell, Twain woulda been a killer tablet.

Picture is of my Palm devices when I was developing for webOS.

Random memories of using Opera Mini on webOS.

That was the shit.

> * Embraced web manifest v3 (which breaks ad-blockers) ref

It says very clearly in the linked article that they're still supporting Manifest v2. Adding Manifest v3 by itself doesn't hobble ad blockers, adding it and also removing Manifest v2 does. They're not doing that, unlike Chromium.

> It genuinely looks like they're actively violating their founding principles, purging any & all good-will for the sake of going for-profit..

In their (meagre) defence, they are attempting to no longer be reliant on Google as their sugar daddy (which is very obviously problematic), but they're going about it in the dumbest, most corporate and ham-fisted way imaginable.

I haven't seen this much cluelessness since the "death throes" days of RIM/Blackberry and Palm, Inc. :'(

(And heck, Palm was innovating like mad until the bitter end. It was just too little*, too late).

It blows my freaking mind that people in this thread are like, "Welp, I guess it's back to Chrome/Edge."
If that's anyone's answer to #Mozilla's stupid gaffes, then they might as well pack up today. The Techbros have won.

To be clear, I'm hella NOT ok with what Mozilla is doing, or has been doing for the past couple years.
But I'm sure as heck not going back to Chrome, or anything Blink-based, as long as I can avoid it.

* Correction. It really wasn't too little. #WebOS was amazing. It was simply too dadgum late. :(

Just got a #FireStick for our #LG #TV because it is about 8 years old and #WebOS getting sluggish on it #PriveLiveNHL was 1 frame per second
Nice thing about the new stick is installing #APKs. I installed #Kodi on it and #NewPipe bye #YouTube #ads. The stick was cheaper than updating from the #RaspberryPi3 that was running #Libreelec but couldn't keep up to the Kodi #addons

NICE TOUCHPAD, I'NNIT???

Sneaky sneaky LG, not letting me update apps on my TV unless I unblock the advertising DNS addresses...

Have I not restored my Touchpad to ALL ITS GLORY?!

Distracted by #WebOS OSE.

Habe mich mit LG #SmartTV 65EF950V (#webOS) und SAT-Programm gespielt.

Bei einer beieits zu 2/3 laufenden Sendung (deren Anfang ich nie gesehen habe) im #ORF habe ich auf "geplante Aufnahme" im Programmguide gedrückt, den SAT-Sender nochmal kurz manuell gewechselt und dann den Fernseher via Fernbedienung einfach abgeschaltet.

Nach einiger Zeit wieder eingeschaltet und siehe da: die Sendung war im entsprechenden Aufnahmeordner am USB-Stick komplett(!) inklusive etwas Werbung davor und daher auch inkl. Anfang der Sendung als Videodatei vorhanden.

Kann mir das jemand erklären?

Woher kam der Anfang? Hat LG hier eine Verbindung zur ORF #MediaThek?

Wieso kann ich während der Aufnahme auch Sender wechseln? Hat der zwei separate Empfangseinheiten?

It hath bin revived! (reuiuéd ?)

Does Android have a mode similar to #webOS Exhibition or #Apple Daydream? I thought older versions did, but only finding clock in screensaver. Nothing for more info or other apps.

Also, I fucking miss webOS.

A couple classics.

Doing some software archaeology with @jimmac today, looking at webOS on the Touchpad and Palm Pre.

It's very cool to see how far ahead of its time this was, and also how many elements from it survived in GNOME in some form! And of course, the multitasking is still unmatched by any more recent mobile platform :)

Just sent a 19 year old Laptop Project volunteer a long rant about how #webOS was groundbreaking, including a long list of features that debuted on that platform which we take for granted on modern phone & tablet operating systems.

I’m too young to go all “grandpa Simpson” like that.
