Why's that?

I wish they'd fix and release the nightly. It so cool looking

Are there any screenshots of the nightly? I'm curious if it looks good enough to switch back.

This doesn't seem targeted towards actually privacy-conscious people. There's too much abstraction and funneling you through their services. I think it's targeted to people who think they want to be private but don't know any better.

Maybe I should say which new ones haha. It's getting hard to find sadly.

Which ones don't?

You're spot on. I pay enough to YouTube TV for NFL games. I wasn't paying any more for this one.

Ahhh! What app are you using? I use Thunder which uses Custom Tabs which basically means it uses your default default browser but without leaving the app.

How do you set the Roku's DNS server?

It's ok I don't actually think the customizable remote comes with any TV or box. You have buy it after market from their site.

You have to have the remote with the 1 and 2 buttons. Then just press and hold them and it should give you the option to assign an action like launching an app.

Interesting, I didn't see any (aside from links to other articles on the same site).

Thanks!

Do you need any other Apple devices to make good use of an Apple TV?

Firefox with uBlock Origin!

I have the remote with two shortcut buttons, so I can map them to my favorite apps and never see the homescreen. It's actually pretty nice!

Maybe I'm not using all of Roku's features but the only ad I see is the one box on the right of the homescreen. To me that's much less intrusive than the full screen stuff I see on Google TV or Fire Stick.

Found a couple more alternatives.

Thanks!

Unfortunately a lot of these are Apple-only and/or just RSS readers. I'll miss Artifact's algorithm.

Here's one for Wear OS / Pixel Watch.

EDIT: And a terminal one.

Out of curiosity, can you give an example of this? I would think the "real identity" of people on Lemmy wouldn't matter nearly as much as on a people-focused platform like Mastodon or Twitter/X. Plus, icons can be faked and there's no concept of a verified identity, so the username is the best indicator of identity anyway.
