  • I can find it with ease on my streaming platform (my personal media center)…

    Just now I binge watched Neagly from a hotel a state away from the server. Streaming ST works just fine too, lol.

    I’ve been saying for over 20 years, we need one opensource non-profit member operated streaming platform, where content can be held and shared by all members via a streamable Torrent protocol.

    Host what you want, share what bandwidth you can, and access everything available, for one user fee, or for free, your call.

    Basically just that we have now with Torrents, but with a centrally controlled legal Popcorn Time like application, standardized file formatting, and a digital media library that includes video, audio, and eBooks (but allows users to exclude content they arent interested in with ease).








  • Well, I grew up with knowledge of cable pirating in apartment complexes, VHS recording of retals to share or rewatch or watch later, and tape and CD sharing and mixing…

    So as far as Im aware pirating was always a easy, viable, and economically savvy choice.

    I did explore Netflix for a brief time 15 years ago, but the quality of their service degraded heavily, and I still pirated alongside my Netflix membership, as their content was always limited. And I shared my member ship with others, then later occasionally used a membership that was shared with me, until Netflix broke that system.






  • Interesting, but there’s no evidence they are nazi themselves, just that they intentionally disregard whether any of their partners are nazis, and only concern themselves with whether or not any partnership furthers their goal of promoting open source tech.

    So their focus is just limited and immature.

    They themselves can still do a lot of good, orgs don’t need to be perfect, but I too would expect them to remove support for extremist led project when made aware, as to ensure they weren’t inadvertently supporting extremist views and actions. But I also can’t see punishing them for being politically or socially stupid while otherwise being very tech savvy.

    Like we’ve never met a socially awkward tech savvy person before?

    The world is mostly a bunch of grey areas: at this point I disapprove of a couple of their actions, but I won’t boycott them outright for their error.

    If they started flying nazi flags themselves, well, then, I suppose things would be a bit different.
