How does one have a donation = no influence policy?

Huge companies donate to make open apps like this reliant on them. Then they threaten to pull the donation if that doesn’t happen…

Strong Copyleft licenses protect from this by allowing others to fork and keep an app going without being taken advantage of.

If Google donates 1 billion dollars tomorrow, and over several months, Ladybird will expand to use that money. Then Google can threaten to stop the donations unless LB does something like “make ad blockers worse”

It’s a web browser. The only money they will make is from donations. Unless they do something wonky with their business model, like charge. Then no one will use it anyway.

I’m fully aware of what a SHA file is, and it’s entirely unimportant to me.

Admittedly, I did check the arch image I use at work.

Thinking of firing it up and trying Kirby air ride with my wife. My daughter is way to Needy for me to play anything real.

Casette beasts just launched on mobile.

No. Apple TV is 2 different products with this name. Apple TV+ is a subscription based TV streaming service. Like Netflix and Disney+.

The other one, Apple TV, the one Sonos is copying, is a piece of hardware that plugs to your TV and downloads apps to connect to the other streaming services. This hardware piece is comparable to an Amazon Firestick, a Google Chromecast, Nvidia Sheild, Roku, and a slew of cheap Android TV boxes.

Hardware is more capable… To do what?

I know some people play games and stuff, but as a streaming device, why? The newest Chromecast handles x264 and can support an Ethernet port just fine for like half the price.

Also supports miracast for the odd screen casting need

Roku comes preinstalled on a lot of the Chinese brands. I assumed the rest of the world bought those as well.

Why is this ‘Apple TV’ like, and not Roku-like. Since it’s by-far the most popular.

Not another streaming service. Another streaming OS.

Apple TV, the roku/firestick/android TV competitor.

Not Apple TV, the Netflix/Hulu competitor.

Something something hilter youth

Personally, I’m watching Volla.

Volla supports dual boot. Android and Ubuntu. Play with Ubuntu, work with Android.

Well my “Server” just a repurposed desktop with a headless debian install.

At the lower end, it’s a pretty rocky line. It’s easy to image a person who games during the day and torrents at night on the same machine. Or runs a plex server but only when they want to watch something while they sleep.
