Cory Doctorow just wrote about this in December, when WB was removing content from the PlayStation Store: https://pluralistic.net/2023/12/08/playstationed/#tyler-jame...


Can’t believe I missed this, this was great.

It’s a sentiment I broadly agree with. It really bothers me that companies feel entitled to milk money out of us forever now, since you can’t purchase stuff anymore. Everything requires a subscription so we can forever have money extracted and given to our benevolent corporate overlords.

I was fine buying blu-rays, I have over 400 of them, but I don’t want to pay $70+ a month until the end of time to sign up for Netflix and Hulu and Peacock and Paramount Plus and Criterion Channel and ad-free Amazon and HBO Max and YouTube Premium and Disney Plus and Apple TV+ and probably a few stragglers I forgot about.

Let me buy the physical media, or a DRM-free download of the TV shows and movies I want to watch.

Until these entertainment companies fix this, pirated content is just simply a better product.

Is there a planned feature for it to be incorporated into UserLAnd? Possibly through an In-App Purchase? It would be neat to be able to manage this along side other UserLAnd instances

Edit: Nevermind it is there. Super Awesome


Not only does Google not provide a desktop interface (though there seem to be ways around it with developer options) it seems they disable DisplayPort Alt mode in the Kernel https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1189998588023234560


Opening my first Roomba was a great experience. Once you open the box there's a paragraph saying how "this is your Roomba, enjoy doing what you want with it. There's documentation online on using the diagnostic serial port to control your Roomba". This and how iRobot still sells all parts for all of their robots all the way back to the original made me find them to be the better company even if their innovation wasn't as competitive.


So I've run into issues with this in the past, which seems to relate to using DisplayLink. Seems to be in how MacOS treats the DisplayLink driver, and can't be fixed unless Apple makes some changes in the OS level
