And I thought Mickey Mouse was cute…
This was our last streaming service we were hanging on to now we will move forward without watching any TV and I’m OK with that. These last few years are really forcing us to be a little healthier. Can’t afford junk food, fast food, and now TV. It sucks but I refuse to he dragged down by the constant barrage of bad news.
Remember to seed your torrents and tell the mouse to fuck off.
What about the keyboard?
Give it a kiss?
It’s funny, when they announced their third price increase in as many months, it was the final motivation i needed to set up a NAS and Jellyfin. And because i have terabytes of storage, I downloaded the entire catalogue… of Linux distros. And I continue to seed them
Time to download some more Linux ISOs.
How does Linux fix this?
This is a vintage joke that implies all the seeding of pirated torrent’s a person is doing are just Linux iso’s, i.e. something that is legal to share via p2p means.
Indeed. Like my 100TB collection of Linux ISO’s.
You never know when a distro hop is in order!
What’s your favorite Linux iso?
Is it the dragon ball z complete distro?
It doesn’t. Linux doesn’t fix anything…
Come hoist the grog with us
Just a reminder that if you don’t like the way that the entertainment is presented, your best option is to ignore it. If you pirate it, you’ll probably talk about it with others. That will lead to engagement, and in turn others will pay to see the content. If you ignore it, then the company gets nothing from you. If you truly want to punish these companies for policies you don’t like, piracy isn’t the answer, boycotting their product is.
Not agreeing with you. We can’t expect people to go on harsh penance to prove a point. Might as well take the easy way out.
Oh yeah, god forbid people miss some form of entertainment! Whatever will they do? If only there was INFINITE entertainment out there. The assumed need to consume is bullshit, and people that feel that they must have everything are sucking that fat capitalist teat harder than anyone else, regardless of if they pirate or not. When you start to pull back from the idea that you have to have it all, you realize how little of it you actually need, and then you can be selective with your content consumption.
Or you can keep watching Disney shows, bitching about how much you hate Disney shows, all while talking to friends and coworkers about Disney shows. Oh, you pirate it? You are still advertising for Disney. You’re a goddamned billboard.
or just don’t promote it?
Sure, by all means. But how many people watch a show or movie they enjoy and don’t talk to friends or family about it? Secondary advertising is still advertising. If you convince someone else to buy it, you aren’t solving any problems.
Back when I was active on the high seas, I would talk about stuff I watched all the time. When someone would ask where I watched I’d tell them they would be welcome to come by and copy some of my Linux ISOs to an external drive if they wanted, as I wasn’t willing to promote the paid avenues for getting those distros.
