I guess you can’t infer that other people have their own opinions. The whole thing that started this was me having the opinion that you can’t trust corporations to not change in the future.
You don’t have to say certain things for me to be willing to make statements of my own opinion. That’s how a conversation works but I guess you must not have a lot of those in real life.
Having an opinion and stating it isn’t making a strawman.
At this point I’m just having fun pissing you off.
Other people having their own opinions isn’t putting words in your mouth.
I’m definitely not the one being a tryhard here.
Also, Linux ain’t safe from corporate influence when Linus dies, either.
I’m not the one defending a corporation that literally hid behind their CEOs coming out story to avoid bad press about their tax dodging… Tax dodging which helped them get their obscene warchest today. Apple isn’t your friend and doesn’t care that you exist, dude.
Cry more and go suck some more corporate dick while you’re at it.
To quote you:
I said they would not inject ads like this
And I’m saying you don’t know that they won’t do that in the future. But keep clarifying yourself more, I’m sure it will help clear it up.
That’s not how they operate.
That’s literally the implication that I’m talking about that you say I’m projecting onto this. You don’t know the future, that can change.
No, you implied that they’ll never ever ever never ever in a million years turn to their ad business to supplant lost sales elsewhere and that related things couldn’t happen to impact their sales. Which is a bogus and easily disproven line of thought.

They still have an ad business, and ads are what companies turn to when times get tough. There’s no guarantees that Apple will stay on top for other reasons, and to assume such a thing will never happen is truly foolhardy.
It’s like believing Valve will be the same after Gabe Newell dies.
Further, Apple relies deeply on TMSC and since the US is basically in a nosedive of idiocy and protectionist tariffs, there’s a significant chance their supply line for their chips could be deeply impacted, and by extension, their profits from their computing products. Whether from tariffs or China taking over Taiwan, Apple could easily get fucked out of luck fast.
True, but most people are buying off-the-shelf stuff and they don’t have their own localized piracy-enabled libraries with a Jellyfin server.
Further, I’m pretty sure you’ve got to connect your Roku at least once to install player apps like Jellyfin. But maybe you don’t, I’m not at all familiar with if you can sideload on a Roku.
I’ve always just done it manually by viewing the Pi-Hole logs for the device I am on while the ad is loading. It takes getting into the weeds a bit.
Further, I don’t have a Roku so I’ve never looked into it myself.
That being said, a quick search brought up this hosts file:
https://gist.github.com/sidward35/cea28bedd0ec0b1bceec8c2b22c163c4
Adlist for Pi-hole with domains for Roku, LG, and Samsung
Not sure if it’s current or not. Lots of threads about Roku ads making it through after being previously blocked.
Or better yet, use a Pi-Hole or something similar to block the relevant adservers at the DNS level.
If you think another private company with profit on their mind is safe, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
Nah, downvote is still used as a disagree button instead of a unconstructive button. Reddiquette was a nice idea but it has never been the norm.
Sounds like an easy choice to me.
Pretty sure Libre only does local document collaboration, having it online is helpful for teams far from each other or who simply don’t have the infrastructure for their own central server of this kind.
Nice. Where is the source, on github (I didn’t see it but I only skimmed)? Federated? Self-hostable?
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only person who immediately thought “This is some Wile E. Coyote shit.”
I used to like the band Tool, but I don’t like people who like Tool so much that I stopped listening to Tool regularly.
