Baseless (and also wrong) assumption that piracy is responsible for by any means significant monetary losses aside, there are other reasons for bypassing that DRM bullshit. Like, off the top of my head:

• archiving -- when you don't have a local copy of a piece of content, it can be changed or deleted at any time;
• ability to access stuff on a wider range of devices -- I want to be able watch my favorite coomtent creator in full resolution on my phone that has only L3 and quite outdated version of widevine without installing proprietary crapp, so what;
• bypassing bullshit restrictions -- not sure if onlyfans in particular does that, but we have Netflix, for example, that would tell you to fuck off when you're not watching from home be it VPN or an actually different location when traveling.

Mine doesn't even care if the phone is rooted, and most of the stuff can be done via a web interface. On the flip side of the coin, this shithole has SMS as the only available "2FA" method

I mean, as long as it works, why would they? Like, I'm also unlikely to suddenly go converting all my nix spaghetti into some new and shiny thing unless it makes doing something I need considerably easier

While not in the roadmap, I'd like to try adding squid[.]wtf and possibly lucida.{s,t}o (although, it's been rather unstable lately) downloaders, if you're interested

Probably not, given it depends on bluez

Characters from the Murderbot Dairies, mostly

• main laptop (t480 currently) -- Murderbot;
• previous main laptop (x270) -- MB20;
• homeserver -- ART;
• a TV box running armbian -- Miki;
• t440p is currently Behemoth (from Bulgakov's "Мастер и Маргарита"), although I'll probably rename it to Holism;
• x230t -- Three;
• a random thin client I occasionally use to test stuff is yogurt (from" love, death & robots"), not sure if I'll rename them.
