Author is a doofus, but there is one context in which I sorta agree with this sentiment.
It drives me up the wall when, according to my browser, a page is done loading, so I go to click on something and bam, a subscription/cookie/whatever popup appears and steals my click in the millisecond between when I decided to click and when my finger reacted.
I recently switched from fire stick to Roku and overall, it's been a great move. The remote is my only gripe. Hate squishy rubber buttons.
I understand your desire to not use a mainstream device, but personally, the last thing I want to do after a 10 hr work day of software debugging is sit down to watch TV, see some error messages, and find myself in a terminal troubleshooting network issues or whatever. I just want to watch TV.

KDE Neon user here, I have not touched any graphics settings and my AMD card runs 32:9 120 Hz flawlessly
I used to work in medical imaging and weirdly pedantic people would say this all the time about digital photography. They say that even just the act of Debayering makes it artificial
I don’t think it needs to be a complex issue at all. Cyber is just an extension of intelligence.
“Everybody hacks everybody” , yes, and also everybody spies on everybody. Merely spying is not an act of war.
Intelligence agencies backing coups in foreign countries? Yeah, now that’s an act of war.
Yep and it would probably be handled as a class action suit, so each grieving family gets $7.25
Yeah, I hate to be morbidly pessimistic, but this is an American private company we're talking about: I don't think anything will be done until people die
Respectful enough to call it GNU/Linux, but not support it... lmao
You're definitely right, it's just hilariously short-sighted. Continue to make unwatchable crap and the subscribers will bleed away, guaranteed
You don't have to like it, but just FYI, the market doesn't care about your feelings. Professional wrestling is a worldwide phenomenon, especially in Japan, Latin America, and the Middle East.
The UFC merged with the WWE this year, and UFC fighters routinely show up to WWE events. Real professional fighters don't seem to care that it's scripted
Everyone else is gonna be like "if you don't have at least 3 backups of something blahblah" but you know, not everyone has the finances for that, so advice from a cheapskate computer nerd: when going through critical transfers/reformats/deletions like you were doing, ALWAYS try actually recovering stuff from the backup before you cross the point of no return. E.g. if the backup is a .zip, extract a few individual files from it and open them in their respective programs.
