It's amazing how divorced from reality the FOSS obsessed can be whenever anyone mentions non-FOSS apps. Nobody is bending over backwards, and nobody is sucking anyone's schlong. If Sync were to have been FOSS, you'd be first in line to sing its praises. This trollish behavior doesn't win anyone over to the "All Software Must Be Foss" camp at all. Must be a PC Master Race thing.

Here's my example: I subscribed to Paramount Plus explicitly for Star Trek content. The week I subscribed, they pulled all of the non-Abrams films. So I got to watching other stuff. Eventually, they brought all of the films back. Cool, right?
So I finally get around to Prodigy, a show made for Paramount Plus. Two episodes in, and it vanishes. No announcements or warnings that that show was just going to disappear. It's gone. Because "it wasn't popular enough". A show that only existed on that one platform was pulled off of that platform with absolutely no other legal way to view it. Content that I specifically signed up for that platform to see, and now I can't... legally. Yo ho, yo ho, me hardies.
"Wrote a wrapper". Oh, is that all? It's just that easy, huh?
Then why can none of these FOSS apps deliver the same experience, if Dawson is such an untalented hack?
You either have no clue of what you're talking about, or you're a troll. From my perspective, there is no substantive difference. If it's such an easy shtick, the do it yourself, and do a better job. Put up, or shut up. Nobody asked for your respect, and I'm certain you know precisely where you can shove it.
