  1. I am done with #youtube. So now on smart tv Apps (Or game console App) apparently if you try to skip through it like you'd normally do every time you do it the first time it'll just push it back to the spot it was. Then the every time after it then it'l let you skip through it.

    Wow youtube got someone who never blocked ads to really want to block ads on them now. Shouldn't get this bad.

    Can you imagine trying to skip through a video when the video overlay comes up but the first time you move it it moves back. Every time you open the video overlay not when you start a new video mind you.

    I only started noticing this today apparently it goes back to May but thankfully #vizio #smartcast is slow at updating some apps.

  9. Years long fight over users' right to tweak #smartTV software heads to trial

    For years, owners of #Vizio smart TVs have had little control over the software running on their sets—software that can track viewing habits, push ads, and generally shape the experience of using the device.

    A long-running lawsuit over Vizio's Linux-based smart #TV software is headed to trial in August, with the #SoftwareFreedomConservancy arguing that #GPL rules require #Vizio to release complete source code owners could use to modify, maintain, or strip ads and #tracking from their TVs.

    #SoftwareFreedomConservancy arguies that #GPL rules require #Vizio to release complete #sourcecode owners could use to modify, maintain, or strip #ads and #tracking or deactivating automatic content recognition from their TVs.
    The outcome could reverberate across the industry. Because many of today's popular smart TV operating systems are #Linux-based.

  18. I stopped using mine as a smart tv. The easiest way to do that is to unplug its network cable, and, if equipped, to shut off its wireless. They're not terrible monitors.

  20. Newly purchased #Vizio TVs now require #Walmart accounts to use smart features

    Prospective #VizioTV buyers should know there’s a good chance the set won’t work properly without a Walmart account. In an attempt to better serve advertisers, Walmart, which bought Vizio in December 2024, announced this week that select newly purchased Vizio TVs now require a Walmart account for setup and accessing #smartTV features.

  22. Mark your calendars! The #Vizio trial is now set for August 10! Right after #FOSSY, both on the west coast! While we can't guarantee that the date won't be moved again by the Court, we're looking forward to getting it underway then! #DefendTheGPL

  24. Informative session by @lexelas with Michael Schuster and Tommaso Bernabo about the #CRA! Coming up on Q&A soon.

    Next up, @ossguy is going to talk about the #Vizio case!

    It's been so fun to have such a full Legal & Policy Devroom this year!

  26. These two @lwn articles are prime examples of why good journalism matters and why you should pay money to make sure it thrives:

    They both look beyond the shiny statements from the different parties involved and outside commentators such as @torvalds in this case and explain just how it is from a mostly neutral[1] point of view so that you can make your own judgments.

    * GPLv2 and installation requirements – lwn.net/Articles/1052842/

    * SFC v. VIZIO: who can enforce the GPL? – lwn.net/Articles/1052734/

    [1] We are humans, and even if we try, we are never completely neutral – and a publication like #LWN that targets the FLOSS community obviously will somewhat look at things from the view of its target audience.

  27. It's been an absolute delight to be here at #LinuxPlumbers, what a great conference!

    Of course, one of the big highlights for me was the BoF I ran with Denver about GPL enforcement. Folks had great feedback and enthusiasm and it was great to discuss the #Vizio case and all of our other work! Folks were particularly excited about the #DMCA exceptions we've been able to achieve, which I sometimes forget to talk about.

    I'm sad it's the last day!

  29. Judge may force #Vizio to share #sourcecode under #GPL
    The legal complaint from #SoftwareFreedomConservancy (SFC) seeks access to the #SmartCast source code so that Vizio customers can make changes and improvements to the platform, something that ought to be possible for code distributed under the GPL. On Thursday, California Superior Court Judge Sandy Leal issued a tentative ruling in advance of a hearing, indicating support for part of SFC's legal challenge.
