I decided to take a look at developing for Samsung TVs (Tizen OS)
What are they doing over there in Korea???
They recently removed Tizen Studio, their dedicated IDE, in favor of a VS Code extension
2026-05-09T03:19:25.366Z
nothing wrong with that, necessarily, except:
1) they haven't updated all their docs
2) the extension doesn't work! it takes like an hour to install, and then fails to install the SDKs, but takes like 15 minutes to decide it's failed on them
also they decided to move everything from tizen.org to samsungtizenos.com for some godforsaken reason
2026-05-09T03:20:59.652Z
they also dropped a bunch of "getting started" type help articles in the migration, so there's like one or two pages for that now
very helpful
2026-05-09T03:22:53.439Z
oh yeah also the VS Code extension isn't fully translated to English yet
it's been out for more than a year!
2026-05-09T15:21:44.444Z
okay after being stalled on installing the TV SDK for about an hour this morning it's installing something else now!

whoa and it actually installed that one!

now it's stuck on #tv-emulator

Shoutout to the Ohio Court of Claims for providing free, convient digital access to court records
That's quite rare in the US outside of the Federal system, which is technically not free but casual users have the fees waved
This is what I wanted to look up: https://portal-ohcoc.tylertech.cloud/Portal/DocumentViewer/DownloadDocumentFile/Download?d=E97CA42CC352ACE7EF493701017230A4&c=95F0F9A857F2544781F48527270EB52A&l=C56422E8A10791DB0D7C9D5C769C3BC7&cn=57EFBD7B271955663801339342CF545A&fileName=2026-00468JD%20-%20Complaint%20Filed&docTypeId=5&isVersionId=False
(idk if that link will remain up forever, probably not)
It's the complaint in case 2026-00468JD, Brian Johnson v. Ohio University
2026-05-10T04:21:19.243Z
To give you a taste, paragraph 5 is "This was not a mistake. It was a choice."
This is a moderately high-profile lawsuit, which appears to anticipate press coverage
2026-05-10T04:28:13.736Z
And it's gotten some, but nothing specific. Probably because the claims are not that spicy! This case is about the surprise firing of Ohio University's head football coach last year. It was extremely sudden and surprising, given that he'd posted decent results so far and was only one year into his tenure
The University gave two reasons for his firing: 1) drinking on school property, and 2) improper affairs with a student
2026-05-10T04:30:12.533Z
He admits he and the assistant coaches each had a shot of bourbon after a win once. He got a written reprimand for that, but it's not exactly scandalous
2026-05-10T04:31:39.537Z
The second point is a bit more reasonable on its surface, but the two met off-campus, he supposedly didn't even know she was a nursing student at OU (although I find that dubious), and there's apparently no rule against having affairs with students you don't supervise anyway
2026-05-10T04:33:11.102Z
So a lot of people were left wondering what happened. Lots of speculation about some other reason he might have been fired, but the fling thing sounded most plausible, but still weird given the circumstances
Unfortunately in his complaint he doesn't lay out any alternative reason he thinks he might have been fired, just says that neither reason should have counted as for cause

is it a good sign when the job posting talks about their hot dog trucks before the job description
2026-05-12T17:53:04.339Z
what kind of text replacement happened here to replace "ff" with "U"?

2026-05-12T18:17:46.504Z
I love "Other" and "Other (Please specify)", and especially how "Other" pops up a "Please specify" box but not "Other (Please specify)"

2026-05-14T20:03:07.908Z
sorry John can't help with that

Shortpacked! is a weird comic
I read it once and forgot most of it
The cast includes Ronald Reagan, Jesus, a sentient car, and then everyone else is normal
I should revisit it sometime
2026-05-16T14:40:43.067Z
Just flicking through some random comics, it feels crazy the pace of time
Like, his current comic can spend 100 strips on one day
Shortpacked! will get through the most important days in the comic's run in like, 5-10 strips, and most days are more like 1-3
2026-05-16T16:35:56.472Z
Oh, I forgot Aslan shows up
2026-05-18T17:09:01.453Z
financial agreements dreamt up by the utterly deranged

Apparently the 891st root of 80 is approximately 14472/14401, to about one part in 100 quadrillion
So that's a handy approximation for when you need iy
