The VPS #Vultr is pulling a #Roku by forcing people into agreeing to their new TOS that will give them full perpetual commercial rights over all your hosted content.
There is no way to decline and you can't access your control panel unless you click agree.
I suspect they're planning to sell your data to AI model creators.
This is the second phase of the enshitification process. I recommend jumping ship now.
Why Tech Companies Are Not Your Friends: Lessons From #Roku
Roku recently changed its policy to make it even harder for customers to take legal action. It’s a reminder of how we need to protect ourselves. #privacy#rights
Dearie, you answered the reason #Roku did this directly in your comment: "despite spending hundreds of dollars on them [his 6 devices]".
Six video players and/or TVs costing "hundreds of dollars" and not "thousands" are the reason #Roku feels like they can do this! You owe them! Those devices cost more to make than they were sold for...
rooting and changing the OS of smart anything, especially phones, need to be at the center of the right to repair movement, not just getting access to software drivers or hardware.
PS: i have avoided activating the Roku nonsense exactly for what the article describes.
"To opt out of #Roku's ToS update, which primarily changes the "Dispute Resolution Terms," users must send a letter to Roku's general counsel in California mentioning: "the name of each person opting out and contact information for each such person, the specific product models, software, or services used that are at issue, the email address that you used to set up your Roku account (if you have one), and, if applicable, a copy of your purchase receipt."
I was pissed. I bought a 40-inch Hisense with #Roku built-in because it was on sale and use it exclusively as my computer monitor. I was locked out until I agreed to their one-sided rule change.
Got my letter mailed opting out just to make a point.
