You're forgetting about the schmuck on the other end of that equation that has to answer the same question a thousand times over.

To. Protect. It.

You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you?

Net neutrality is the status quo, it's not trying to "solve" anything

I take your point, and agree when it comes to Google

But here's rabbit hole for anyone interested. That brand name being synonymous with the product thing is actually fairly regional.

We just call them tissues here. I think you can get Kleenex brand here, but I don't think anybody cares about the brand of tissue. There's a particular kind that has some kind of aloe Vera extract which is all I'll use if I'm sick, but I don't even know what brand they are.

On the flip side, we call marker pens Biros, and where I grew up we called them Khokis

so I've just giving it a quick test vs google with the query "open source chromecast alternative"

the first result for both is a reddit post about NymphCast

it's the rest of the results that are interesting though.

Google has a ycombinator news article about NymphCast and then decends into the usual "17 best chromecast alternatives in 2024" rubbish

Kagi on the other hand lists the github for NymphCast, and then goes on to list others... mirrorCast, pyCaster, free Cast, an article on using a raspberry pi as a chromecast alternative.

obviously this is only anecdotal, and very unscientific, but it's got me interested for sure! Gonna bookmark it and see how it goes

it's on the chromecast remote as well now. Is there an open source chromecast alternative?

I'm willing to bet canceling will be instant too
