Welp, time to discard all things Roku in my house. I've already been trying to make everything "dumb" again.
No, microwave.. there's no fucking reason you should be "phoning home"... get the fuck outta here with that shit.
As if Roku is some great company beyond Fox lol
Yeah, all corporations are bad.. sure. My point was the tipping point for me personally breaking away from the convience of Roku's all-in-one streaming would be the addition of Fox's no doubt right wing propaganda injection, even more malicious privacy invasion, and data tracking.
I didn't say Roku was a "great company" just because I may have a few of their devices already... we all have crap in our house from one bad company or another, no one can fully escape corporate consumerism, and if they can they wouldn't be on here to read this, more than likely.
No, more like as if this is the straw that broke the camel's back
If you had to choose, would you rather:
a turd with flies all over it?
a turd that a drunk also puked on, with flies all over it?
@ComradeMiao @technology I have a RokuTV, but I blocked it from my network. All I wanted was a dumb screen for my set top box, and I am now even happier I did that
I purposely didn't buy a Roku
