You're telling me lasers don't go "pew pew pew"?!

Yes, but I think always my right foot. Literally right now. But also I probably don't have autism

Nice, here I learn that we already finally had nesting in CSS!

And this relaxation change is a good one.

Now, if only we can get support for:

.card {
  &--header {
    /* is not equal to ".card--header" in CSS, but is in SCSS and LESS */
  }
}

Edit: Lemmy broke, that should just be an ampersand in the code

It's unlikely you would be making a Linux app. It's likely that while it is technically Linux under the hood, the OS will be entirely abstracted away, interfaced by an SDK through a layer running on top that controls and sandboxes these web apps.

So if you don't already have a web app, then you've got a lot of work to do.

I'm doubtful that Amazon would. They tend to keep features minimal. And while web apps often can be as good, I think many developers who do not already have a web app version will not have the resources to develop one just for the Fire TV. Right now it has the benefit of supporting apps that were written for Android native and simply put on this app store too, perhaps with some effort to tweak the UI for TVs, or sideloaded. Major apps, sure, but not all the minor ones

I have very low hopes that Amazon will add features to the SDK that expose the necessary parts of the OS. It's that interface that matters and I'm almost certain it will be very locked down and minimal. Android has had plenty time to mature; the SDK is massively featureful

Despite not having the Google Play Store, the slew of apps I can find right now on my Fire TV is really appealing. This article says the new OS will be web focused. In fact, specifically React JS. Android can already do that, plus a lot more native development choices. So I guess this will lead to less app choices. Shame.

I have an app that alters the colours of my TV at night. I can't imagine that'll be possible in a web based OS.

And not all homeless people are sleeping rough, some are in temporary accommodation etc

I don't have adblock on my work computer. I don't want it interfering with webdev and I've found it to do so in the past. But it's interesting, the dichotomy between sites I use as development resources vs the rest of the web. My phone and home computer are unbearable without adblock, but on my work computer, the ads are hardly noticeable really.

There's over 30 Mexican restaurant results for my city at 1% the population of Tokyo. Sounds like it's pretty lacking to me
