I'm laughing in Plex
the televisionification (good grief, what?) of the internet is truly one of the most monstrous and monumental failures of creativity the world has ever seen.
Cramming this square peg into that round hole no matter the fucking consequences
nothing matters but money, right? (kys pos)
who the hell would ever use the Netflix windows app? And for that matter, at this late date, who the hell is still paying for Netflix to actually watch what little is still on there?
We do. Because it's the only streaming app that has a very large catalogue of local shows and non western shows that is available in our country.
Also we (my family) pay because it's our choice and nothing you say will change that.
That said.
I pirate shows from Amazon, Disney, hbo, Hulu, paramount, etc. Simply because I chose Netflix to pay because they were the first to not snub our country and offered their services and I choose to not pay for other platforms, because it's expensive to do so.
It's one of the only non-Android TV, Apple TV, or Roku ways of streaming Netflix with a remote via HTPC. There are EXTREMELY niche uses for it.
We, yesterday for a train ride. We, next week, for the way back. We almost every month for that purpose.
The problem is power dynamic. It is a DRM service built round closed apps. You will take what you are given and like it. You can not view their cultural work without agreeing to these terms (Legally). The deal will keep getting worse until it starts losing money.
Edit: English fixes
Cancelled last month. Donβt miss it. Entertain myself by downloading and installing Linux distributions instead. They usually can be downloaded using torrent/magnet links.
Downloads on my Surface for the sake of my vacation were the reason I resubscribed. Seems fitting it should be the reason I unsubscribe. I only worry about finding a good point of communication to let them know about this reason.
Jellyfin + rip your movies off the dvds. You can even invite your friends to watch your movies too.
You know. Like we used to be able to.
Fuck late stage capitalism and every greedy little pig out there. Hope you lose your mansions, cars, and expensive toys. You can live down here with the rest of us at a perfectly reasonable level.
