You're Not Buying a TV; You're Buying a Roku

[–] klu9@piefed.social 6 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

My TV (dumb but attached to a Roku Express) died last month and since then I've been watching on computer + Zen Browser + uBlock Origin, with zero ads.

And noticing that I don't see a single TV for sale in nearby shops that is not a (usually Roku) smart TV, i.e. data surveillance capitalist tool.

The funny thing is you can just use an external box and never connect your tv to the internet at all. Let it collect all the data it wants. It’s not like it can tell anybody.

Why not librewolf, Firefox has native vertical tabs since Firefox 136

That's why I'm never letting your access the internet, Roku.
You're the cheapest TV I could find to use as a monitor
Just stay in your line, or else
Also I can't root Roku 12 ?
What in the absolute bullshit is that ?
Not root on my own fucking TV ?
Someone needs to 9/11 that entire company !!
