~~You~~ I can't open the app without giving full access, and the only reason I use it is it's the only way to have a personalised album on the Chromecast. I'm in the progress of degoogling, a Roku hopefully has ethical options
Spoiler: Roku doesn't either. Immich + a RaspberryPi or other SBC is the way to go...
Roku's on my eternal blacklist after something... I think it was forcing users to accept data harvesting terms to continue using their tv's. Whatever it was, I know they're dead to me for life.
I remember when privacy requests were requests, asking if you're 13 or older due to local laws. Now they demand that you must be 13 or older because they will be harvesting from you, otherwise 'get lost and stop using the service'.
They have forced ads on your homescreen on the most expensive Roku you can buy. Completely bullshit. I immediately switched to Apple TV after buying the most expensive Roku and having that happen.
