If I had my druthers (whatever those are), I’d double the national science budget and spend 100% of the added amount re-grilling scientists and replicating important studies to check the outcomes of some percentage of them.

It may be circumstantial but I just checked and Netflix and Disney+ are both only rendering at 720p in Linux (Kubuntu 26.04) in Firefox and Chromium for me. Maybe official chrome is better, I don’t have it installed at the moment.

The trouble you’ll quickly run into is that with a non-iOS/Android/Windows platform your streaming sites won’t go above 720p, and your attempts to run sandboxed Android apps will pretty much all fail. Now if all you mainly do is serve local content from e.g. Jellyfin that’s not much of a problem, but as you already own an AppleTV that’s probably not your only use case.

I’m really interested in seeing how this turns out. Multi-year federal grants in the US almost always have to be re-applied for every year, and are almost never guaranteed past 1 year (and are subject to budget cuts). So on the one hand, you could argue that a multi year budget could make projects prone to being too expensive or full of unnecessary stuff, but on the other hand, you have to wonder how much innovation and discovery we’ve lost by having our brightest minds spend so much time reapplying for grants every year.
