His post is right on fall with all the people that swore up and down that the password crackdown of Netflix was going to be their downfall.
I’m sure most users will just agree and there won’t be much ewaste…

Additional ewaste is still additional. Regardless of amount, we’re talking about necessity and rate.
If I got this I’d be returning my tv as soon as possible but I know better and so do my friends and family because I talk about this stuff with them when stories like this come up or they bring it up

I read through the whole fucking thing, considered posting it to Lemmy a day or two ago, even considered comparing it to other stream box thingies, and just decided it wasn’t worth it. This fight isn’t going to end because TheFartographer chose to change platforms.
At this point, I know we’re losing and I’m getting really tired of carrying the torch. Ultimately, if I swapped all of our Rokus to anything else, I’d have to deal with my wife being upset that “having a smart house was supposed to be easy, why do you even care about suing Roku?”
Unfortunately, we’re not all as oblivious as you seem to think we are. Some of us have just resigned to failure and are letting the steamroller finally run us over. For some stupid reason, I’m doing it with my eyes wide open.

“There’s no way just I will be able to solve this therefore nobody should try”
Am I right in understanding this logic? Sounds kinda narcissistic and pessimistic imo. Not sure I’d subscribe to giving up because some people will take their frustrations with an industry out on the preverbal ex-cave dweller. You’ve stepped out into the sunshine, you’ve bore witness to the truth outside of the cave in all it’s maddening glory and now you want to try to convince people who are clearly comfortable being strapped in that cave stuck staring at mere shadows cast by the sun outside. Maybe try to help get people unchained first and walking around before you try to explain the sun to them

No no no, you misunderstand. I will wholeheartedly support anyone willing to try in any way that I can. I’m tired and I’m just trying to pass the torch.
My point was that some of us have done what we can and are now just painfully yet knowingly accepting shitty terms. I’m not telling anyone else to stop, I’m just asking to acknowledge that some of us need a break without being called willfully ignorant. If you’re still willing to fight, tell me what I can sign, who I can harass, or what I can adopt without pissing off my wife. Until then, I’m just gonna read the contract and then regretfully click “I agree” because I’m too tired to keep doing the research myself.

I heard you have to have the original remote to confirm the EULA, if you are using a different one it won’t click through and you are stuck.

Yeah, I just agreed because one sided bullshit being added to something I already own lets me continue to use it until whatever they added even comes up and someone else might sue them in the meantime because ever changing terms of service are not enforceable.
