Nah, just the shows.

I've been with Netflix since the very beginning but I'm finally canceling my service.

Back when I was telling everyone to watch Severance.

"Is that on Netflix?

-hum, Apple TV I think.

-you have Apple TV ?

-...sort off"

Jokes on you, I never had Netflix

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I had cousins account and I found torrenting still much more convenient than having to open Netflix in the propper browser or app to play with semi-decent quality.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (9 children)

In my country, Netflix shows often come out later than in the US so why pay money when I can get a greater variety of shows earlier for free on other streaming sites?

Streaming is a gray area. Germany is relatively strict with torrents but on streaming, you neither own nor share it at any point

I watched it at a friend's house.

You don't know her, she doesn't go to this school, lives in Canada.

And the radarr calibrated for treasure

[–] UnRelatedBurner 4 points 5 months ago (3 children)

what does radarr to exactly? I know jellyfin is a glorified VLC, but what's radarr?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Radarr is your personal fleet that will go plundered and get the booty for you while you lay in your comfy hammock drinking rum.

(You tell Radarr a movie and it will download it for you, rename it and add it to your media center automatically, also for upcoming ones. Sonarr does the same for shows, downloads the episodes once they are out.)

Glorified VLC.

Look, for me to "stream" movies to my friends using VLC I have to set up a finnicky RTSP server and get the settings right and then even then half the time it chokes on the video and the stream stops because it doesn't like certain file types/encodes.

Jellyfin takes out all the hard work of setting up a complicated streaming service for you and your friends.

Jellyfin can be self-hosted with Radarr to automatically download shows you want to it and be streamed with Jellyfin.

Why pay corporate scum when you can not :| sorry not sorry people in the entertainment industry. You should negotiate better union terms.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Yes, it really does come to morals.

Like, would I really feel ok supporting an industry like that? With their shitty wages, horrible copyright practices, just evil corporate practices (nepotism, extortion, sexism, etc) - not exclusive to entertaining industry, but I can def chose not to support & fuel the suffering.

I want & do pay for small studio projects, FOSS initiatives, etc.
Let's normalise that so that such support may grow and change the world.

Long live there *arr services & their contribution to worlds culture & humanity through equality/comradeship.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yep, supporting artists and not parasitic corporations is always preferable. Unfortunately, said parasitic conglomerates try to get their greedy piggy tendrils into everything they can

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah, it's really hard and often impossible to support the artists that you want.

A good movie, but most of the people involved made fixed wages (no sales) whilst 90+% of the protis goes to the studio and the lead actor and director (+ credited people that never even saw the project, but you know, money favours)?
Yeah, your money vote does not go to what you want to support/sponsor.

A publisher is selling a game that it got by buying a studio & getting rid of the devs? What's their added value? That's just capital yields, like landlording.

[–] UnRelatedBurner 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have grown up with pirating. I didn't even know that you can pay for stuff for a while lol. Yet just the other day I bought the plushie DLC for portal revolution, caz it was an amazing experience, and it was a free passion project from the fans to the fans.

I've been aware of Radarr and Sonarr and such for some time, but thanks to this meme, I get why they end with "arr" now. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Mine all live on the subdomain "yarr"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm sad this isn't actually a domain.

I can't buy it since .de is a country domain and I don't live there.

I mean, I probably still can buy it, but I don't want to be rude and buy domains for a country that I don't live in

I always just say I pirate it. What's surprised me is the number of people who then ask where I got it from. I assumed most normies would look down on it more than has been my experience.

It's the worst when you talk about a series you "acquired" and they ask you: "Cool! Where did you watch it? Is it on Netflix?"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because of the "bong" at the start.

“No I usually do edibles when I watch tv”

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

When someone asks me where they can watch a show, I always tell them "I think it's on Pirate Bay".

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

"If I could talk to my great grandfathers, I would say that the old times are gone. So much has changed. When all else fades away, The Pirate Bay will remain. It will always be with us." -Brule

c/piracy was the most trending community when I joined. What happened to them now?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 5 months ago

They've got no time to post because they're busy watching all the things they want without taking on another job to pay for another dozen or so subscriptions.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Already departed and sailing the high seas, mate.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

.world pre-emptively blocked them (twice) because ~~they're nerds~~ they're hosted in the EU and they thought they'd get in trouble by association for being federated with instances that promotes discussion of something illegal in their physical server's jurisdiction. They had a lot of traffic. The db0 comm is still alive.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think they were defederated from a lot of places, but are still active elsewhere. Maybe https://lemmy.dbzer0.com ?

If you're going to have one service, the last one to get is Netflix. Hulu and Disney are $20 ad-free in a package right now. That's probably the best value out there.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Yeah, this is either old or out of touch.

I have access to netflix but always pirate while connected to Trakt in order to have a history of what i watched and to be able to continue watching wherever, whenever

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Last time i had netflix the last show i watched was the castlevania anime

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

It's a total mystery. Nobody could possibly know.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago
