Cobra effect:

Cobras all over India, so government is like 'bring dead cobra, I gief moni". People are smart and breed cobras in their barn to collect more bounties. Government is like "you cheated, no fair. no more moni for cobra head". People release all bred cobras into the wild. Result: even more cobras in India.

Tax the rat farms

Oof. Why didn't the people who had cobras just kill them instead of releasing them? Idk, I just imagine I'd rather not have a bunch of cobras outside where I lived?

Like, I guess they could have driven them somewhere farther away to release them, but at that point wouldn't it be less work to kill them?

I mean unless it was just to spite the government (or convince them to start paying for cobras again), but that seems unlikely lol

Apt comparison. If anybody has any ways to get around YouTube ads on a Roku, I'd love to hear them lol. My pi hole can't handle it since they come from the same domain as the video.

I've been considering just patching a spare laptop to my TV and just streaming it that way. There are remote control devices and controllers you can attach to laptops.

I've connect my old android phone full of pirated streaming software to the tv, works a charm. You can even cast it and use the phone as a remote.

I just got around it by not using roku. Just get a cheap used laptop somewhere and plug it into your TV. It doesn't even need to have a working screen. For the remote I just use my phone and the Unified Remote app. That app let's you use your phone as an input device for any computer on the same network that has the client software installed.

unified remote is great, I've been using Linux mint for a while and kde connect serves me well too for similar purposes. I basically have the setup you describe, an old inherited shitty laptop with mint and it's just the stationary media center that I pirate everything with. Not exactly related but I used to use Pushbullet a lot too, there are some redundant overlaps with these apps.

oh and edit I discovered kde connect because my cheap Bluetooth keyboard shit the bed one day lol, and I use a USB Xbox controller I found in a free pile as the mouse, I even custom assigned one button to put my admin password for the terminal with antimicro. yarr
