RIP TiVo
@johns anti-tevoization wins by TKO
@copiesofcopies It @bkuhn tried to save them but it just wasn't enough
@johns @copiesofcopies this means that all TiVo has left us is a confusion about what the GPLv2 requires.
Would that everyone would just read my admittedly verbose account:
https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/jul/23/tivoization-and-the-gpl-right-to-install/
@bkuhn @copiesofcopies @kfogel just connecting the dots between this and https://cordcuttersnews.com/tivo-confirms-it-has-stopped-making-dvrs-marking-the-end-of-an-era/
Not SFC's news … just news that TiVo is finally ceasing to be a nameplate brand.
They couldn't even Westinghouse the thing. 🤷
My essay on how the term “Tivoization” never made any sense hopefully will live on as definite.
@johns GPL3 won?
