A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

They do not sell TVs at a loss lol.

Retailers don't, but those $300 60" TVs cost manufacturers more than that in parts and shipping. They are 100% making up for it in LTV from your data, that's why some are trying to make it impossible not to use them when not connected to the internet.

Look at an major TV manufactures books and the TV part is a loss, the income they get from the TV is selling you to advertisers.

I'd love to see your source for this. I won't hold my breathe because it's simply not true.

None of these links even remotely say they sell their TVs at a loss.

Roku shouldn’t even be anywhere near this conversation if you were serious. They probably sell a dozen TVs a year. They’re all about streaming boxes which is a different story altogether.

You said to look at their books, yet didn’t provide anything to back that up.

I am waiting on your apology or rebuttal!

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 2 weeks ago

I am still waiting for you to provide evidence. Your last attempt was woeful and nothing of the sort.
