    Fuck Fox and Fuck Roku. It will only get worse. My Roku is already the top blocked device in my Pihole, making thousands of telemetry requests for no good reason. Time to remove…

      It’s not about laziness. Roku is used by a ton of people who don’t know what a linux is.

      The best solution would be for an open source roku alternative that is plug and play

        Thank you! For a 54yo non-tech person I’m keeping my head above water, but please don’t ask me to learn a whole new something in an area that I have no skill or interest in.

        Re Fox buying Roku, it makes me want to throw up.

        Also, can you run common streaming services on Kodi without having to fight endlessly with their countermeasures?

        I would love to dump all of this crap and just run a pc with a browser on the tv, but there is no clean interface that I could use with a remote.
