  That may be true but the license thing was dishonest because no one was really unlicensed in any way. That is like saying I could rake in a lot more money committing fraud than conducting legitimate business.

  Putting the customer first? Call me when I can transfer my license to anyone else I want without valve having to okay it like I can a physical copy then we are talking about putting the customer first.

  In theory could you not use a prepay card unless it reserves a charge for the theoretical full amount up front?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo has DMCA’ed Sudachi’s GitHub⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why aren’t Nintendo bothering ryujinx like this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bangladesh has millions of e-rickshaws. They’re finally becoming legal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So close, but it was supposed to be a bipedal robot.

  That won’t cause bad sectors though, that just means the data you were writing was bad.

  Turns out you can make more money by reducing usability and user choice in an entrenched product because hardly anyone will baulk and jump ship to a different product.

  We are walking talking general intelligence so we know it’s possible for them to exist, the question is more if we can implement one using existing computational technology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the point is that “not having ads” shouldn’t be allowed to become the premium experience when it used to be the standard experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s exactly a monopoly for the chosen ones, gate keeping at its worst. Anything that isn’t blessed is going to be a bit more effort to get working, but I wouldn’t say Kodi is unsuitable for the average user on the grounds of the widevine module though, the DRM module extraction is automated when installing a plugin that requires it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Command & Conquer™ The Ultimate Collection now available on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean Vanilla Conquer which is a proper cross platform source port?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Command & Conquer™ The Ultimate Collection now available on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  OpenRA is a game engine and the games built on it are mostly fan C&C like games that are skinned to look like the early actual C&C games. The engine can’t even play the original missions and mp maps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Services to host on a retired laptop?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you install arbitrary apps on androidtv or only what is available in the appstore for it without jumping through hoops that possibly involve some command line shenanigans? Similar to how you can install plugins in kodi in libreelec from the official repos perhaps but have to jump through hoops for arbitrary programs? Your real issue then is that libreelec’s ecosystem isn’t as vibrant perhaps and that it doesn’t run on locked down hardware the user doesn’t really control so the media companies allow high quality streaming to them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Services to host on a retired laptop?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Arbitrary applications isn’t a TVOS like the original poster asked for, it’s a general purpose OS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Autostart Jellyfin flatpak⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Docker and Flatpack are both containerization technologies and work in similar ways under the hood. Docker is more geared towards running headless services that other systems access while flatpack is more geared towards desktop gui applications that are interacted with from the same system they run on.

  Thanks, this tends to be functionality I dont need that often but when I do it’s frustratingly difficult finding something that doesnt feel like it’s going to need me to sign over my soul so it’s good to know about other open source solutions.

  Seem to be quite a few of these types of apps, I’ve been using landrop recently, how does this one compare?
