brewery, in torrentio lite addon is still loading

I’ve been having the same issue for the last few hours, although gave up and am watching live TV

nothacking, in Alright then 🏴‍☠️

Well that’s another one for the “list of companies that are never getting my money”.

sphere_au, in Alright then 🏴‍☠️

I always just turn DRM off and don’t subscribe to these things… Now I know I had a better reason than I thought I did.

tubbadu,

I didn’t subscribed to it either and never will. My father received a coupon for a free movie and watched it. I then tried to log in on my pc and this happened so… ̿ (͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °)/ ̿

J12, (edited ) in Netflix enshittification will continue until morale improves

I think I’m going to buy one of those sketchy streaming boxes with thousands of channels.

That or learn how to download and host my own content.

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Edit: just realized what sub I’m in. Guess I better start reading up.

Gondolaaaa,

A NAS or an old PC for hosting Plex and I’m not sure if Nvidia is still updating the Nvidia Shield TV, that one was one if not the best Android TV box

yum13241,

Don’t. They usually have annoying line of sight remotes, buffer all the time, and try to send spam email in your name.

RickMoreanus,

Like the commenter below said, Streamio is the answer. We use Streamio with Torrentio plug in running on a cheap windows PC and its been very good so far.

Sethayy,

Stremio and if you got time + hardware jellyfin, then like ever base is covered

somethingp,

Buy PIA VPN. Look up a guide to setup Plex, radarr, sonarr, and jackett. You can get fancier once you’re comfortable with how everything works

zbynaCool,

I wish there was something like this but in Czech language

haui_lemmy, in Netflix enshittification will continue until morale improves

After seeing this post a couple times (which speaks to its relevance) it got me thinking that enshittification (of the world) will definitely continue until our morale improves, as in until we make them stop. Are there any online collectives that work together to stop this tomfoolery?

Are there any online collectives that work together to stop this tomfoolery?

Same as it has been for the last 100 years: Vote with your money. If you don’t like the product/service, don’t buy it. Stop thinking you can force them to change their offering.

haui_lemmy,

Great idea. Next we leave countries that become autocracies.

Na fam. First the autocrats burn.

Danterious,

Vote with your money.

I really hate this phrase. It basically is saying that if you have more money then you have more “votes”.

Or to put it in another way: If you have more money you matter more.

Aux,

If you have more money, that means that society values you more. Thus you matter more. You’re just a better human being when you have more money.

haui_lemmy,

Exactly. Its the internalized version of our capitalistic autocracy, akin to stockholm syndrome.

Amir,
@Amir@lemmy.ml avatar

But… that’s true?

Danterious, (edited )

Yeah it is but it just irks me either way.

Edit:

I just want to clarify I am agreeing that in our current society that if you have more money you tend to be highly valued.

I am not agreeing that this is how it should be.

Outtatime,
@Outtatime@sh.itjust.works avatar

The crackhead down the road wasting away in his own piss and shit isn’t equally “valuable” to me or anybody that contributes to society in a positive manner. I don’t care how you spin it

diyrebel, (edited )

It basically is saying that if you have more money then you have more “votes”.

That’s simply true. It doesn’t do anyone any good to disregard the facts.

Or to put it in another way: If you have more money you matter more.

That abstraction doesn’t help much. And first of all, it’s more accurate to derive the statement “If you have more money then you have more influence”.

It’s still a shitty status quo, but it is what it is. The worse thing you can do is tell people not to boycott shit products on the basis of rejecting reality. It’d be like telling people not to vote in elections because their vote is a drop in the ocean.

Some people vote for democrats, then they cancel their own vote by getting their internet service from Spectrum, buying fuel from Chevron for their car, shipping their packages using FedEx, getting their phone service from AT&T, banking at PNC Bank, flying on Boeing planes, shopping on Amazon, doing their web searches on a Microsoft syndicate’s site (e.g. DDG), buying Sony devices… etc. They either have no clue that most of their voting is actually for the republicans, or they think that drop-in-the-ocean vote that comes once in 4 years somehow carries more weight than the daily votes they cast with reckless disregard.

Greg Abbott’s war chest is mostly fed by oil companies. If you buy fuel for a car, you help Greg Abbott and other republicans. And if you buy from Chevron, you give the greatest support to republicans (Chevron is an ALEC member).

Danterious,

It’s still a shitty status quo, but it is what it is.

I don’t like the status quo and I think it should change.

Oh yeah, it is * S.U.P.E.R * effective /sarcasm

vasco,

The only way to stop this is bringing down capitalism.

haui_lemmy,

Long term, this is probably the consequence. But to delete a giant tree (or tumour, decide your own mental image) you have to cut it back, then cut it down, then rip out the roots, one after the other.

You can also rip it out at once but you need giant machines and will cause tons of damage to the environment and leave a giant crater.

I dont think capitalism is even the whole tree. Its actually greed and selfishness which needs to go.

People who miss the basic empathy to take from others just because they can need to be educated and - if needed - contained and pathologized as to keep them from winning against the fair and „gullible“. This will be insanely complex and long to eradicate that.

But step one is joining a collective to change things. All positive change came from collectives, never from individuals. Individuals are easy to beat, to intimidate, to silence. But groups are very hard to do this to.

Doing something to lift the dread off your heart and getting change going is the most sane approach imo.

Zworf,

I dont think capitalism is even the whole tree. Its actually greed and selfishness which needs to go.

This is because capitalism glorifies greed and selfishness and considers it the primary driver or human behaviour. Which it isn’t for everyone. Many of us leftists vote left despite it not being in our personal financial beat interests. Sharing is caring etc.

Unfortunately the system is so damn rigged in favour of the multi billionaires.

haui_lemmy,

I think capitalism favors greed and selfishness because greedy, selfish people have corrupted an otherwise useful idea. I dont think the original iteration was bad. We just left the door to the machine room ajar and a bunch of trolls laid some cables to steal power from our generator. Actually a very fitting metaphor. The sad part is that we‘re still trying to agree on the fact that someone is stealing energy.

If you have seen lord of the rings, society is the ents, discussing endlessly if the hobbits are actually hobbits or orcs while their forest is being cut down en masse. Thats how I view humanity atm.

Zworf,

I don’t agree. Capitalism is and has always been about greed. It’s why people invest, to get maximum profits and externalise all the negative side-effects.

I think capitalism works if it’s balanced with socialism and strongly restricted by law as we used to do in the Netherlands and some EU countries still do. Unfortunately the Netherlands was lost to the neoliberals and now to the fascists :( But luckily I don’t live there anymore.

haui_lemmy,

I can see how you arrive at this conclusion. Not sure I necessarily follow it since I invest (and always have) in things I believe in. Buying additional plates is an investment in having guests over for example.

But I‘m also neurologically different from most peeps. The folks that invest without empathy fall into two categories in my head: the ignorant and the evil. The ignorant need to be educated, by force if necessary. The evil need to be stopped.

Still, I can see that capitalism has become corrupted and needs to go. It’s too complicated for everyone to understand its side effects. Maybe even for me. But I still think its people born or raised without a conscience that will corrupt anything we build. Those need to be stopped as well.

crony capitalism

Zworf, (edited )

Or limiting it at least. Instead of the free for all big business American and Chinese version.

diyrebel, (edited )

Ending capitalism is not the /only/ way. Within a capitalistic system, you can boycott shit. Most consumers are pushovers but it doesn’t have to be that way. I’m boycotting hundreds of shitty companies. Off the top of my head:

  • Amazon
  • Cloudflare
  • Microsoft
  • Facebook
  • Google
  • Apple
  • (surveillance advertisers in general)
  • (all closed-source s/w)
  • HP
  • Proctor & Gamble
  • Unilever
  • all ALEC members (American Express, Anheuser Busch, Boeing, CenturyLink, Charter Communications, Chevron, FedEx, Motorola, PNC bank, Sony, TimeWarner)
  • many shitty banks
  • Paypal
  • AT&T
  • GMA members (Coke, Pepsi, Kraft - Heinz, Kellogg’s, General Mills, McCormick, Hormel, Smucker)
  • BetterThanCashAlliance.org members (visa, mastercard, unilever) – war on cash
  • Bayar-Monsanto
  • Dupont
  • Hershey
  • Nestlé
  • Exxon/Mobil
  • Comcast
  • Koch
  • Home Depot
  • Lowes
  • …etc

Those are all shitty companies that significantly worsen the world. Giving money or data to any of them contributes to enshitification of the world.

Of course it’s an option to stop supporting assholes. Become ethical. Be the change you want to see.

diyrebel, (edited )

I didn’t see the OP’s pic but these groups generally work against enshitification of the world:

Notice that none of those communities are on Cloudflared instances (thus also avoid propagating the enshitified portion of the fedi).

haui_lemmy,

Thats awesome! Thank you very much!

locuester, in Netflix enshittification will continue until morale improves

Kinda shitty of the chart creator to leave out 2018 and 2021. While the point still stands, it biases it against Netflix.

It’s just purposefully misleading. Not cool, chart maker dude. Not cool.

yum13241,

This is not even a correct chart.

locuester,

I wasn’t going to go that far and get blasted with comments - but I agree.

Danterious,

That is the article that made this chart.

flixed.io/netflix-price-hikes

If you want another one that shows the same basic increase in prices here is another one from statista.

statista.com/…/netflix-subscription-prices-in-the…

Rev3rze,

What happened in those years and why were they omitted? It’s odd that they just leave it out with (as far as I could tell from the linked source) no explanation for that.

TheLowestStone,
@TheLowestStone@lemmy.world avatar

Nothing happened. There was no price increase those years. The chart isn’t misleading at all, OP just cut off the title, “Netflix Price Hikes 2011-2023.” 2018 and 2021 aren’t relevant because there was no change.

locuester,

There are other “nothing happened” data points. A graph represented as having a x-axis of time shouldn’t be staggered anyhow.

Eiim,

Then why are 2012 and 2016 included? It’s extremely confusing to have a line graph over time where intervals of time are missing, even if you clearly call attention to it, which they don’t here.

darkfarmer,

This is definitely misleading. It’s a time series chart with arbitrary data points just casually missing.

mlg, in Streaming Pirates Are Hollywood’s New Villains - Illegal subscription services that steal films or TV shows bring in $2 billion a year in ads and subscriber fees.
@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

Remember when they found out the dudes behind piratebay were like 3-5 hacktivist friends who made it in their free time lol?

Also what illegal subscriptions. Do they really think people pirate content for it to be sold and not shared?

Aux,

People who pirate content don’t do it for free. It might be news to you, but piracy is a huge business.

mlg,
@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

Not for every average Hollywood movie ever.

There’s so many acronyms for the source because of how many people independently rip, not even including cam rips.

Now if it’s some big gun software like cobalt strike, then sure yeah people definitely charge.

But Movie and TV pirating is so easy, people regularly make their own rips and torrents.

Aux,

Again, it might be news for you, but it’s a huge business with many layers. There are plenty of professional rippers and crackers who earn a living one way or another. There are plenty of underground translators and streamers. Ads, hostings, seed boxes, TV boxes, different partnerships - there’s a lot of money flowing.

Just go to any public tracker and you will see ads. Download some subtitles and they often contain ads as well. And then you have partnerships like targeted attacks on software developers, etc. Then there are normies who are getting scammed into buying pirated content for full retail price by physical media vendors. All kinds of handy people who will install you a dish to receive pirated satellite TV “for free”.

Petter1, in Would a Raspberry Pi Zero be good for Radarr and Sonarr?

I think not, because sonarr and radarr webUI is pretty slow on our machine, which definitely is not weak at all (we have server grade CPU and over 100gb of RAM. RAM is the biggest bottleneck for us right now, but we have to upgrade CPU in order to be able to handle more RAM.

halm,
@halm@leminal.space avatar

…your 100+ Gb RAM machine chokes on a couple of server applications that others run on commodity hardware? That sounds like a non-*arr issue.

Petter1,

Well, yea, maybe you are right 😂😅

Sylocule, in Would a Raspberry Pi Zero be good for Radarr and Sonarr?

Personally, I’d expect it to be fine. There’s not a lot of CPU usage for those apps. The only part I see it potentially struggling is the file transfer (WiFi on the Zero W or Ethernet-over-USB).

Might be better to get a Pi 3b with Ethernet on board

praise_idleness, in Would a Raspberry Pi Zero be good for Radarr and Sonarr?

My Radarr alone uses about 250 MB of RAM idle. Considering Pi Zero has 512MB, I don’t think it’s going to work that well with Radarr alone let alone radarr and sonarr…

myliltoehurts, in Would a Raspberry Pi Zero be good for Radarr and Sonarr?

Another option you could consider is rather than running the VPN on the pi and downloading through that, to run the VPN on your media server as you planned and instead use the pi (or your router if you can run openwrt) as the remote access point. Then you only need to worry about the performance needed for remote access

I’m not sure how tailscale works, but this is what I do with zerotier (i.e. run it on my router).

FuckyWucky, (edited ) in Would a Raspberry Pi Zero be good for Radarr and Sonarr?

pi zero is way too weak tbh, i think cpu will be 100% all the time.

pkill, in Alright then 🏴‍☠️
Varyk, in Is there a Universal Playlist which is privacy friendly?

What’s an example of a universal playlist?

finestnothing,

Sounds like a radio station where there community submits songs
