Thats not a command, thats literally the process name of the app others have suggested <ou to block with root cloak before.

Oh, and here is why I hate dumb people.

- They rather complain about solutions not working than to learn how they work. If you don't constantly have the filter on, that everything they say might in fact be just a made up "fact" trying to mask that they werent able to use an app - you are out of luck entirely, and situations like these happen.

- When they then resort to renaming system apps - because reddit told them to, not knowing what they are doing, and you have to explain to them, that stuff breaks, because they broke it - the< might act interested and willing to learn for a moment -

- but as soon as someone points out, that they don't know jack, their "facts" are all kinds of wrong, and the better solution was suggested by every entry in google, this forum, and even by myself (hinting at that it would be strange, that people report cloak works as recent as a month ago..) - they become tonguetied, and when you weigh in to make it clear for others that the solution the excluded from the beginning as "not working" is in fact the best one --

they take it ultra personal - and switch from thanking you for explaining to them how stuff works, to calling you a dickface -- because it becomes so very obvious whats wrong here.

So they are the assholes. They think the internet is here to serve them without even calling a dog a dog, they cause the majority of confusion in stating wrong information to begin with, they switch from thanking you for explaining to them what they are doing to calling you a dickface - because you just made it clear, that the solution someone else brought up is in fact the better one, so others wouldn't bother to go through the same pitfalls they went through - oh, and all information you have provided them so far all of a sudden becomes null and void - because it was just that, information - and not the entire step by step solution they wanted people to provide in the first place.

Now - not even "block the app with root cloak (exposed)" is enough information for someone like you in the end. No - you need a PN conversation to clarify that you should block the process everyone told you to block in the beginning. Because you didn't bother to find out how its named.

Instead of typing ps into the Fire TVs shell (or ps | grep vue), you used this forums PN function to ask someone else to do it for you. And you didn't have to know the ps command either, you probably could have looked up the apps (process) name elsewhere on the net.

Here i the mea culpa on my part. I am not a PS VUE user, because the service is not even available in my country. I might react threads though, where people rename android system files, and then complain about them "not working". I don't if blocking within root cloak using the process name of an app is something out of the ordenary, if it is, some of my criticism doesnt apply, although I highly doubt it at this point.

Tldr.

Dont ever take agreeing with someone else on what would be the best solution, as mocking you personally. I know that reddit QA culture demands, that every thread is a personalized support session for people with no clue but high aspirations - threads on forums usually are not. Clearing up "what the best solution seems to be" for the next person that reads along is something I don't do out of malice, I do out of responsibility.

Well, at least until someone calls me a **** for not providing an easier solution for them faster. Then all bets are off.

Everytime someone explains somethng on an open internet forum, there is the notion, that others are reading it, and that the information they are providing gets used further - that just the immediate support session they are driving at a time. This is the sole cause - why people might not wan't to protect you or others in the "looking fly" department - while you are actually -

- promoting, that people should modify system files - and then expect stuff to work regardlessly

- making it sound like a fact, that stuff doesn't work, when its actually working

This is not "acting like an asshole", this is actually responsible behavior.

n00bs usually don't become educated users, by calling the people explaining stuff to them dicks, or accusing them of "saying unimportant stuff, because - you just needed a step by step instruction, which you finally solicited from someone via PN - good job" - or by putting down people, that explain stuf to them, because it makes them look like n00bs.

This goes for me as well - in other areas.

Yet I never got the demand, that others should fix your issues for free, and on the spot, in detailed step by step instructions, while making it extra sure, that you can save face, and look like a hero at the end of the day - also what dicks, are they for actually daring to try to explain stuff to you instead of just fixing your problem.

Have I mentioned, that I sometimes hate what has become of the web in the recent years? Signs of getting old...

Also, yes, I do think that this response was needed.
