Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

Sounds like I'll be canceling at that point.

Took you long enough.

Check out c/[email protected] for some free streaming sites!

Jellyfin and the *arr stack are amazing and much simpler to set-up than I anticipated (if you already know your way around self hosting, docker compose and the like).

I recommend avoiding this overcomplication unless you have a specific need to address it.

Free streaming sites are for laymen and require no technical knowledge to operate.

Yeah, as I said it's relatively easy if you're already into this kind of nerd stuff, otherwise it'd require a lot of time and effort. And I don't know of any free streaming site with french-dubbed media, which my kids require.

Your kids will learn other languages reeeeeaaaally quickly if you show them their favourite shows in those languages.

It's not complicated just follow the instructions 😂

I've been a Netflix user since like 2004. I'm also well aware of that community and reference it often. I recently setup Stremio and my next step will be setting up *arr.

I'm perfectly fine paying for content as long as the trade offs are worth it. Netflix limits PC streaming to 720p unless you use their app which is bullshit. I'll likely be canceling Hulu/Disney soon too. That one is for several reasons: not a fan of monopolistic tactics, Disney Plus' interface is garbage, and Disney Plus is rolling out ads. I already canceled Amazon Prime because of ads.

I’d be fascinated to know whether Prime membership has taken a noticeable hit. I have been a member since its inception, and buy $20K/year in stuff there, but canceled my upcoming renewal, when they announced the price gouge for PrimeVideo and then started salting programming with ads.
