The official client is just awful as well. I tried it for about five minutes and just flat out had to uninstall it. The web app at least means I can adjust the text size and font a bit.

FWIW the concern here isn't you taking a screenshot, it's that an illicit app in the background is screen recording your phone and sending it off.

Gods, that's an awfully written statement. Painful. Notably, the idea that it was just a draft is simply a lie - the OGL 1.1 was sent to content creators to sign. That's not an internal draft. It just isn't. There is no way t

That didn't stop Facebook doing it (and breaking all kinds of stuff in the process).

Apple wouldn't permit such an app in the store so it's a moot point.

Widevine L1 requires hardware backed support and keys baked into the device, which the SteamDeck does not have. It won't be happening on the current hardware.

What legal remedy exactly do you propose here?

If you're influenced no. If you build your own replica of the bridge of the Enterprise, then yes. This is pretty settled law.

Open source doesn't pay bandwidth bills. I would also break YouTube up, but that's because I think the death of free video streaming wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

And how do you figure out what these cases are without spending $2 million in court fees each time?
