i am against paying for DRM streaming services, and i boycott apple products, but i must say this is an impressive hacking effort and a well-executed meme about it. 🥂
I’m so glad that I subscribed to netflixs DVD rental service. I would get stuff in the mail, rip the disks with handbrake, and send back. Repeat. Torrents where a no go with a 5gb a month satellite ISP.
genius idea, i should have done that but i was only a child
If I could easily do this on my desktop/laptop I legitimately might stop pirating media. I would also stop if the streaming companies just let me watch full quality and didn’t take away what I purchased because the rights holder decided they want you to buy it again on another platform.
I don’t mind much paying for streaming (although that’s increasingly more and more annoying and I still tend to just download whatever I actually care about) but until and unless I can pay to “own” a movie and they just provide me with a DRM free video file of some sort, I will never “purchase” digital content like this.
If you tried this kind of bullshit in just about any other context, even normal people would think you’re crazy.
Normal Person: “hi there, one blender please. I’ll take this one for $25.”
Sales person: “Cool here’s your receipt.”
NP:: “It says here at the bottom of the receipt that you can just come in my house and take this blender back whenever you want or maybe never?”
SP: “yep.”
NP:: “And you don’t tell people that ahead of time?”
SP: “no when you buy it you agree to that by opening the box and it is on the receipt you get after you bought it.”
NP: “you fuckin with me rn?”
SP: “afraid not, and would you look at that corp says I need that blender back, thanks.”
SP: “oh, shoot. I see here you also bought a toaster from EvilCorp sold in one of our EvilMart locations a couple years ago, we’ve decided to license that brand instead to our new partners FukUMart, so we’ll be taking that toaster but if you want you can head to your local FukUMart and buy that toaster again for more than you paid the first time.”
NP: spontaneously combustsAnyone who has worked in retail will tell you this is absolutely, concretely, and vehemently something corporate would expect their employees to actually say to customers, so don’t go giving them any ideas…

Common Linux L. As much as i hate Netflix, Linux bros as worse.
why is this an L? Linux is fully capable of 4k playback. any Linux user (with a 4k screen) can go to YouTube and watch a 4k video in full quality. Linux support is there, the bandwidth is probably there, the hardware power is there (Asahi Linux is for Apple hardware), so the problem is either Netflix or DRM in general
Giving you the benefit of the doubt, how is this an ‘L’ for Linux?
Of course you’re allowed to not like Linux enthusiasts; like any hardcore dedicated group, they can be intense and uncompromising… But that has nothing to do with this.
Such horrible people, fighting back against senseless DRM
One of the biggest ratios I’ve seen on this platform lmao, the people here love their Linux
The level of downvotes on this comment is absolutely wild, although unsurprising since the OP is about a W for Linux…
On the flipside at least we’re not a certain other website that restricts user activity based on their internet points… so OC can still participate without their stuff being auto deleted by a bot
What’s a ratio?
The Ratio or Ratioed refers to an unofficial Twitter law which states that if the amount of replies to a tweet greatly outnumbers the number of retweets and likes, then the tweet is bad. Additionally, “to ratio” a tweet means to make a quote retweet or reply that manages to get more likes and retweets than the quoted post.
Massive downvote to upvote discrepancy on Lemmy would constitute “a ratio” / “getting ratioed“.
TIL.
A bad take from a good person. I like your history so i want you to think about this…Don’t get mad at or direct hate towards passionate people. The world needs them to make stuff for the rest of us schlubs who spread our attention thin. Besides, isn’t some of that annoyance, just a little of that prickly feeling, jealousy?
I get the feeling you’re expressing here, i do. I’ve felt it myself. I personally have wondered why, and done some self-reflection and considered maybe this is my answer. If it makes sense then maybe it is your answer too. Whatever you’re reason for feeling this way, the next thing to ponder is is whether expressing this emotion to others has a practical use for them to hear, out for you to say.
This one is a feeling that is useless to everyone especially yourself.
it is one to recognize as a failing and to work on, not to express in a forum as an emotion to be proud of
Fair enough, I was too casual to judge a community based on the circlejerk. But my frustrations lie with the circlejerk that there is more on lemmy.
A bad take from a good person. I like your history so i want you to think about this…. …
Just wanted to drop a comment to let you know I really appreciated reading all of your comment, as it was well written, diplomatic and direct, worthy of conversation. Well done.

Even on Windows, you only get full bitrate Netflix playback in the UWP Windows Store app.
Wow.
Obvious bait.
JellyFin likes my new 20 TB HDD very much. That’s all I’m saying.
Link for the hdd? I’ve got like five 5tb drives all wired to a usb hub and need to bite the bullet and get some real storage solutions.

Good place to find what’s a good deal. I think my search string there is specifically 20+tb drives.
Look at getting a sas array. They’re expandable and hold lots of drives. You can pick one up for around $200

Asahi Linux devs go hard.
Sad that Android TV boxes have better playback than PCs costing 20 times as much.
Android TV is not free though.
You pay with yourself,
your interests / watch habits,
all being collected and sold to the best bidder for “personalized ads”…Depends on the launcher you use.
That’s… Not at all how it works.
Don’t worry, you’re one of today’s lucky 10000!
Launcher on android is just that - an app to launch other apps. Other apps can and do run in the background, without ever being explicitly launched. Think play services, location provider, wifi connection manager, etc. Since google runs its stuff at the highest level - nothing can hide from it. Other apps, like netflix, utilise internal telemetry. Assholes like facebook push the boundaries to the limit and collect literally every input of every sensor to have as much data about your environment as possible.
TL;DR - custom launcher cool, but no cure.
[Some apps] push the boundaries to the limit and collect literally every input of every sensor to have as much data about your environment as possible.
Scary. Recommend any further reading?
Take a look for yourself with a rooted phone.
Blocker will show you all the recievers/services/activities/providers the app uses,
and will allow you to block them.https://github.com/lihenggui/blocker
Apps often still work correctly with about 80-90% of their recievers/services/providers blocked, since they’re spyware, which doesn’t add functionality to the app.
XPrivacyLua will allow you to lie to apps when they request sensitive data.
Aditionally it will show you timestamps of what it lied about, to which apps, reveiling what they try to collect on you.

ClassyShark3xodus allows you to decompile and scan apps on the fly,
to check which well known trackers are embedded into it.https://bitbucket.org/oF2pks/fdroid-classyshark3xodus
Idk if these apps still do it,
since I have not used them for years,
but that’s how I learned about many things like:- 9GAG contained a face detector service at some point.
- Facebook Messenger requests access to your microphone, even when you are not calling with it.
I would
If it was cheaper
But still I would

There’s your problem. Using Linux is like using a dishwasher instead of a rice cooker to cook rice.
These people are so hardcore, I love reading their news, there is at least one thing that makes me go WTF in a positive sense every time
The only platform not yet supported is the Mac Pro, although there probably isn’t much left to do. No, not the “MacBook Pro”, but the “Mac Pro” – the one that looks like a cheese grater and costs thrice as much.
I’ve always wondered what sort of look they were going for.
When did they give up on the trash can? I miss the trash can. It was easier to call it overpriced garbage when it looked like an actual garbage receptical.
I remember seeing it and thinking “No, this can’t be real. No way Apple actually did this.”
Have fun with your seven thousand dollar cheese grater.
Did they just forget to crop the whole thing? It looks even more hideous with the grey background on the black background.
My browser is forcing dark mode on it and the picture is not transparent.
That’s what i’m saying. I looked for a CPU cooler lastly and Noctua & co. (all with dark webpage) all neatly cut their product image on transparent. But Apple can’t bother for their overpriced cheesegrater.
The Mac Pro only costs three times as much as a cheese grater???
Neat. Chromebook image is useful for blobs when installing coreboot also.
