I suspect you're just trying to be a smartarse, but it hides an important point. It's not that HaikuOS can't watch Netflix, but that in the platform-specific DRM world, no new system that comes along can ever be a viable desktop without the blessing of the media establishment, and that this has the effect of entrenching existing players, especially those with money and connections.
The corollary of that is that keeping illicit distribution going might be a good bet for a diverse computing future.
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoYou suspect wrong, I want the web to work the same no matter how I access it. I'm saddened at the likely future you point out.
- threedaymonk 14y agoMy apologies! In that case, I join you in sadness.
