Rakuten TV blocks Linux

As I'm feeling spiteful, I want to add that you can easily block the ads with firefox + ublock origin on Windows. So it's hard to believe it's some technical thing related to securing the ad playback.

I haven't tried spoofing the user agent yet.

But even if it did the trick, I just don't get the reason behind blocking other OSes.

Now that I think of it, they probably just spout out the user agent my browser sent in the error message.

I would be fine with watching some ad supported movies if they let me...

Rustdesk's lesser known features

Reply in thread

It seems they were trying to hide the app being Chinese, added a trusted certificate on your machine without prompting, complaints about not really being open source, etc. It doesn't look very good to me at this point.

Search around a bit and you will find these issues being raised by people, at the same time the answers fron the team seem very dismissive and amount to "please no politics here".

Check the wikipedia page edits as well, weird stuff. I don't like weird stuff when choosing a remote control software.

Rather paying Anydesk than using this. At this point at least.

Edit: to add, rustdesk was using and sending data to a chinese server for some reason. At least they got an EU one instead, at least according to wikipedia, but that could just resend whatever data forward. This is all just what I see on the net though. But, enough for me to choose something else.

GrapheneOS Foundation Responds To Jolla

I think this is again overblown. Would be better to ignore some forum posters and not make new headlines that give the impression Jolla is doing something against GOS. It's just sad to me to see all the effort wasted in useless drama. Wish the best to both sides. We should all be happy to see competition in the phone & OS market. Still love GOS.
