You still have Netflix?
Nah, just the shows.
I’ve been with Netflix since the very beginning but I’m finally canceling my service.
What’s a Nutflick?
I’ll tell you when you’re old enough.
not anymore since I can’t watch someone elses netflix at home. I still have disney+, that my cousin pays xd
For the mobile games
For the what?
Netflix has mobile games, is that news?
Quite a few awesome titles to boot Deaths door, TMNT, katana zero, Hades, deadcells, spiritfarer etc.
Edit : removed IAP too for the likes of Narcos, Arcanium…
Also you get Bloons TD6 with your Netflix account
Had bought that long ago but honestly there’s enough that work both on ios and android. Getting it just for games probably not worth it.
If only they add cross platform saves
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
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.
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

Don’t be worse than Russia. Please fix.
germany has some wild piracy law, last i heard.
Probably one of the most cringe places because of that.
?
In Russian law only sharing is illegal, not downloading. And proving your intent is impossible if you don’t have formal education. Basically “I didn’t know” is rock-solid defence.
I think it’s technically the same in Germany but indent doesn’t matter that much so it’s illegal even if you claim you didn’t know. Also owning it is also illegal I think. When you stream it, you don’t own it.
And honestly I don’t see the benefit of downloading it. Do I have to wait till the whole season is out or do I torrent each episode separately? Neither sounds fun. I can just click the episode I want to watch and watch it. Why bother to download it as a whole?

What does this has to do with anything? You just download and watch. You can even download and watch at the same time. Or download and watch later even without internet.
I watched it at a friend’s house.
You don’t know her, she doesn’t go to this school, lives in Canada.
She lives in VPN
These fins are jellied, mate.
And the radarr calibrated for treasure
what does radarr to exactly? I know jellyfin is a glorified VLC, but what’s radarr?
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.)
sounds awesome, I might try it out when I get/setup a server
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.
okay, true. u got me. I also used a friend’s jellyfin for this, but most of the time it’s just screenshare on discord
Jellyfin can be self-hosted with Radarr to automatically download shows you want to it and be streamed with Jellyfin.
you have netflix?
i do, wanna chill? :D
hm, enticing, i however have jellyfin and quite the substantial archive, does that suffice?
“Jellyfin and chill” sounds kinky
depends on where you’re looking i suppose, though my jellyfin instance is entirely SFW, aside from the probably 5 exceptions.
I have numerous NSFW archives like the true archivist that i am however. Though i don’t have those stuffed into jellyfin or anything.
Oh, I just meant the name.
oh, i mean maybe a little bit? Idk, seems rather fitting to me. Reminds me of jellyfish, and those are certainly chilling.
even better haha
we love to see it.
Why pay corporate scum when you can not :| sorry not sorry people in the entertainment industry. You should negotiate better union terms.
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.
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.
Yes, I do the anti-boycotting as much as I can too.
Also bought all the games I played growing up (the ones you can buy that is).
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
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.
If it comes down to morals, don’t pirate, boycott. If your actions can be perceived as indistinguishable from selfishness, they probably are. And the only message you’re sending is “we need to crack down more on piracy” not any actual good.
No. You sound apologetic towards shareholders.
Morals are not the same as laws, lol.
And when something is part of the everyday life like this it isn’t really the best thing to stay out of.Also, boycotting something I wouldn’t have payed for doesn’t make sense. I don’t even understand what you mean.
And what you call selfishness is the boycott here. That takes away from the megacorps (and not from the artists).
I don’t wanna boycott people making series, I want way-too-big publishers & co to die.
Morals are not the same as laws, lol.
Agreed. Don’t know why you’re saying that, since I didn’t mention the law anywhere.
And what you call selfishness is the boycott here. That takes away from the megacorps
It is not. If you boycott something you aren’t benefitting. You are making a sacrifice in order to enact a change. And critically, if corporations want you behave differently, in a boycott they give in to demands. With piracy, they try to crack down on piracy.
(and not from the artists).
I’m sorry, how do the artists get paid when you pirate?

If that is genuinely what you want, all you have to do is not purchase the content. Pirating it does not help you kill giant publishers. All it does is make it shittier for the people funding your free entertainment.
As I said in a different comment, if this is actually a moral thing for you, for every dollar you save by not paying for the things you enjoy, donate it to a union. If you’re not, it clearly wasn’t really about the artists, it was about you getting free shit.
I’m sorry, how do the artists get paid when you pirate?
my guy, they were already paid for their time, this isn’t a small indie production.
You didn’t answer the question. Where did the money come from that paid for their time?
the studios that originally produced the content, the people that are paying for streaming services, and if it’s a movie, the box office earnings.
And physical media sales, if any.
I have to say I mostly disagree with your points.
At that kind of profit margins only the dividends get financed.And I do spent the money on donations (FOSS devs, Wiki, random research, animal stuff), tho I haven’t though of donating to unions. I didn’t even know that is a thing. It isn’t where I live.
I understand they need to be financed, but the whole point of unions is to get a better bargaining position & thus finance. That shouldn’t need money. You dont donate to the strog guy that already has the power, you donate to the poor. Ot perhaps like some sort of semi-political parties that help organise workers? But we have regulators that strongly encourage unions at certain company size or sector.
What you can donate to or finance is smol studios. That’s boycotting the big studios, regardless of content consumption.
What are the margins, specifically? Do you do the research on every piece of media you take, or is “just kinda a feeling” that you believe enough for you to feel fine about what you do? And what is your line for at what point you’ll grace them with your money?
It’s great that you make donations, but do you make contributions in line with what you would have paid for the media to take? If so, I believe you that it’s not about the money but a moral stance. If not, I don’t believe that you aren’t doing it for your own self interest.

I’m genuinely not sure what you’re trying to say here. Are you saying that you don’t think unions need money? Are you familiar with union dues? Or strike funds? Lobbyists or lawyers?
And are you saying that the unions are the “strog guys?” If so, then why are you saying that they don’t make enough of a percent for it to justify you paying them for their work? If you want to pay to the poor or a charity, fine.
My fundamental point is, if you pirate a $20 movie/game/whatever and you don’t donate $20 to whatever cause you feel is worthwhile, and instead keep that money for yourself, you are pirating because you want things without having to pay for it. Full stop. Anything else is just trying to justify your free shit.
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
unless you bring in archival, in which case piracy is actually morally good, because of how often content just fucking disappears from the market.
Archival and piracy are different. For you to pirate, there was already an archival copy. Mission accomplished. You downloading a copy without paying for it is not you helping preservation.
