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.

OP is using Jellyfin. I don’t think they’re planning on subscribing to Apple’s monthly services.
AppleTV (the device) is cheap as fuck for what you’re getting because subscribers is the real money maker for them. What feature rot do you speak of? I installed AppleTVs for years and the only functionality my clients ever lost was when they forced iCloud integration for awhile. I also think it has by far the best remote of any streaming device but that’s personal preference.
I use a heavily-blocked Roku Ultra so it’s not a fanboy but you’re like…a reverse fanboy. Hating on it for the weakest of reasons
If I could get Apple devices in an open compatibility I wouldn’t hate them I probably still wouldn’t buy them though.
My hatred comes from the fact that I believe critical thinking and mental flexibility are very important skills for people to develop at a very young age. I think one of the most important avenues for the development of reasoning and technical skills is through interaction with technology.
That technology should encourage and reward your curiosity. Apple does not reward curiosity or encourage it, it taxes it to such a degree that Apple users are by and large technologically illiterate.
I grew up on Apple computers, and when I was little the Mac nerds we’re doing some pretty cool and impressive shit with their Mac tech that you just can’t do now. It was a gateway to me learning about a lot of this technology, but they are a walled garden now, and it gets worse every year.
I’ve been programming on apple devices for over 15 years, you can do a lot with a Mac.
What can’t you do now? It’s still a full on unix system, in fact it’s way easier to get stuff done with Brew than when I started using Macs.
