@benfryc @_kishan1 Omg imagine if you’re right?!

In the early 2000s, there was this Dutch site called ‘Clubs’ that allowed you to set up super simple communities based on whatever topic you’d like. It had a little forum, photo album, private messages, and whatnot.

You could style it with basic HTML and CSS. I met some cool people there and wanted what they had built. So I had to learn how to design banners and buttons in Photoshop and HTML/CSS to style the pages.

If I had never come across it, I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing now

@buddyfox_ @UltraLinx I use a apple tv 4k from 2017 just fine running tvos 26, what exactly is that planned obsolescence you’re talking about?

@olegcoada That's the neat part, you don't haha. You'd be surprised how much comes natural because you been there before. And a second one feels kinda easier since you're already in that child rhythm
