More media consolidation. Just what we need. 🙄

This is the Murdoch-owned Fox buying Roku. Not the Disney-owned Fox.

Roku was already shit and didn‘t support Linux browsers so nothing of value was lost.

Yep. Used to be one. Disney bought the movies and TV division of Fox. The news network/conglomerate of Fox proper remained under the Murdochs.
