My dog tore up the remote so we were forced to use the roku app to control the tv.

They’re showing ads on the remote app. It feels like we can never escape this dystopian hellacape.

I mean... you bought a Roku.

Of all the streaming devices you can purchase, I'd argue Roku is the most privacy invasive: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/roku-streaming-sticks/

Yes I am aware. I mainly use the Jellyfin app on it. I have a PiHole but I unfortunately can’t change the DHCP/DNS settings on my router (i have no admin access to it) so i have to rely change the DNS for every client on my home. But unfortunately Roku does not allow for changing their DNS server.

I have heard about putting my roku on another submet but i don’t know how to do this. Any thoughts 🤔

Yes! I noticed the video player UI changed, it looks pretty clean. Are you a Jellyfin developer? If so, I love you.

I am. Funny enough, I'm the one who made the new video player OSD 🤘

If so, I love you.

Oh. Well, this is awkward. I think of you more as a friend...

It's platonic, you never hugged a coworker before?

[-] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

😆 No, but I've had one put me in a bear hug before.

It's like you picked my favorite features and put them in by default. Thanks.
