• Children's media and commercials for children's products that don't involve inter-generational pandering (this isn't a place to collect all advertising and media that's aimed at kids) Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network/Disney/etc.

• Text messages, emails, PMs, or other forms of interpersonal communication not sent as an advertisement

Streaming sucks, I need to own my content. 1080p and higher download quality only.

Laughs in Streamio + Torrentio

I had that, but I haven't had time to fix it since real-debrid stopped working.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

It's working fine for me. The number of torrents went way down, but picked up and are nearly back to normal now 👍

Who the fuck says striminals?

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor 9 points 1 week ago

At least one? I mean, how many do you want to use? When you set up your system, you don't need more than one.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The way this is phrased makes it sound like more than a third (60% of 69%) of millenials only ever consume media through piracy, which I find very hard to believe. What seems more likely to me is that the survey asked people if they have ever used piracy and now they're trying to make this seem like a much bigger deal through misleading phrasing.

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

Yes, thats exactly whats happening. Media companies are fearmongering as well, they put up posters saying that streaming sites can hack you.

Of course not. I'm a law abiding citizen, I'm not smart or sexy enough to commit copyright infringement.

Seriously, they make it seem like this is new. Been a pirate since the early days of Napster. Hell, was pirating DOS games on floppy in the early 90's. Video stream pirating is just the latest form, and won't be the last.

My main thing that pushes me towards being a striminal is that every service has all exclusive content.

If I wasn't too watch star trek or star wars, hello Disney+. Stranger things? Netflix. The list is long, I won't bore you with what you're probably aware of.

Moving to bring a striminal, as they say, you can watch what you want, when you want, where you want. You get everything in one place, and don't have to flip flop between services to simply see what's available.

The cost of all of the services is a problem, sure, because it's so damn costly for all of them combined. But that's not my primary factor. It's just so damned inconvenient to maintain so many disconnected accounts, and agglutinate all of the information into a sensible list of what's new or available across all services.

I just want it to be easy and they've intentionally made it not easy.

I won't comment if, or how many Linux ISOs I may or may not have.

Ok but that sounds based as hell

I'm a streamennial, but I know a few streazoomers, and also few bootreams.

Strongly reccomend using Jellyfin for your media libraries. Even if you don't have a dedicated server and just want to watch on a pc, it works better than VLC.

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

Doesn't jellyfin require connecting to a server to even work though? Most VLC features work anywhere without any connection, obviously streaming would require a connection still.

100% of GenX'ers in this household.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Sorry but I'm streamennial not striminal.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Awwww, that's so cute how they side-stepped "... what they want, how they want, "; You know? That bit of it all that we can't buy their way because they won't sell it to us.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Sell full quality 4k video files, with no DRM, and I’ll never use a sketchy streaming site ever again.

I haven’t infringed on a single game that’s available on GoG

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Who is "we"? I have to know who came up with this amazing addition to the English language.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Looks fake, but still funny af.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I'll start paying when they stop being racist with their region locks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Only 69%? Nice. Thought it would be way higher though. I mean. The youngest of us are almost 30 now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So what are Gen Xers who do this called?

[–] QuantumSparkles 3 points 1 week ago

They are saying that like it is a bad thing.

Bad for shareholders maybe.
