I’m the opposite
Them: You should check out this show I’ve been watching, it’s great. Do you have Disn-----
Me: I can get anything online. How do you spell the name of the show? Thanks for the rec. If you need help getting anything you aren’t subscribed to let me know.
When i try to explain my jellyfin/Arr setup to coworkers that ask “what site do i use to watch shows for free” it just goes right over their head or they stop listening. Even in reductionist terms. If its more work than going to a special website, searching and hitting play, they just aren’t interested.
On the free meadows of the internet,
where the gentle breeze touches all equally,
where the people are friends,
and the money is spent on FOSS devs & smol gaming studios.Beautiful 😍
The Pirate Bay - free streaming service
The Pirate Bay
Its pretty outdated these days
In what way? I use it from time to time to get movies and series. Is there any downside compared to other methods?
Genuine question, I’m not too familiar with the pirate world beyond pirate bay.
It just doesn’t have that many files anymore, since not that many people use it. 1337x.to is more popular now
If someone is unaware of piracy: Tell them.
If someone is aware of piracy and doesn’t care: “I don’t really know, I just got it off of a torrent site.”
If someone is aware of piracy and cares too much for a company they don’t work for: You can ignore them.
Do you know of any easily shareable beginner’s guides?
I love turning friends onto free media, but I don’t always want to walk them through it.
Not really beginner friendly because it doesn’t teach you much but the site has a nice list of resources that go even boyond piracy: https://fmhy.net/beginners-guide
I appreciate it!
You could share this sublemmy’s pinned post, or the megathread it links to:
Thanks so much!
fmhy.pages.dev/beginners-guide/
fmhy.net also hosts the same guides I believe
Me: The internet ;) ;)

This is how we fight back.
There doesn’t seem to be any way of saving videos there, am I missing something?
No. Most sites don’t offer their own ways to download videos.
If you want to save videos, you can always use a browser addon. I use VideoDownloadHelper for Firefox and it allows me to download any video, even on Linux.

Yes I’m aware of that, I assumed that a site recommended on here would have that as a main feature otherwise it’s not much use for archiving. I already tried yt-dlp and it doesn’t seem to be supported.
Thanks for the site, I’d genuinely never heard of this and was looking for something new!
Anytime!
This is a good one.

That’s what shocked me at work. I’ve been pirating since limewire and then comes this 40-something Y/O mom, not even nerdy or computer savvy or something, and gives a performance like she’s already found the OnePirce and wanted to be the next Anne Bonny.

I just honestly answer that I don’t know.
Just send them to JustWatch.
Jellyfin!
Hi-C’s
“Channel BitTorrent” is my reply
BitTorrent+
it’s on ploob
yes that is what I was referencing
Oh… well then you spelled your made up parody word wrong :/
I did not, it was a dual-reference.
Oh, ok. Whats the other reference too?
Oh i love Doug, alright nice dual reference dude 👍
Great, now I’ll never not notice how many brand names are baby sounds
It used to be on ploob, but season 3 is only on nimbo now.
If you can’t proudly say your pirating sure you need to find a new friend group
Well they said “co-worker”, I can understand not divulging that in a workplace.
Eh fuck it, what are they going to do, call the FBI on me? Employer certainly doesn’t care.
Highly dependent on workplace. Many with govt contracts could feel an obligation to punish this.
My employer is the government
Plot twist: dude works at Disneyflix :D
“An ex-Netflix engineer’s take on piracy; in a YouTube drama near you”
My da has a mate who’s literally a peeler and was showing him his piracy set-up. His mate was also talking about his.
I’ve never worked an office job that wasn’t pirating software openly and somewhat proudly when pointed out
It’s just that they have no idea how to answer the question
