Not really beginner friendly because it doesn’t teach you much but the site has a nice list of resources that goes even boyond piracy: https://fmhy.net/beginners-guide
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.
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.
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.
On the open meadows of the freeinternet,
where the gentle breeze touches all equally,
where the people are friends,
and the money is spent on FOSS devs & smol gaming studios.
This ties into the comment I was going to make separately. For context, my dad recently passed. First father’s day without him. My mom asked to watch a movie that meant something to the both of them because they saw it together in a drive in on release and it was very memorable because the technology and techniques used were fascinating at the time. She complained that it wasn’t on Disney+ or anywhere.
You may have guessed it, but she requested Song of the South. One serious moral quandary later, I got it ready for her to watch.
Tomorrow is gonna be rough, but at least my sailing might bring some good memories for her.

it’s on ploob
Great, now I’ll never not notice how many brand names are baby sounds
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?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Oh i love Doug, alright nice dual reference dude 👍
It used to be on ploob, but season 3 is only on nimbo now.

“Dodgy Firestick”
If you can’t proudly say your pirating sure you need to find a new friend group
It’s just that they have no idea how to answer the question
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
Hi-C’s
Just send them to JustWatch.
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.

Thanks so much!

fmhy.net also hosts the same guides I believe
I borrowed it from an acquaintance on Internet :D
Fell off this passing truck that was carrying shows and movies!

I just respond with a hearty “yeeearghhhh!” and continue the conversation. The coworkers that know get it, the rest think I’m a lunatic.
I’m the opposite

“yeah the service is called piracy and you should use a VPN”
Seriously, my coworkers pirat more stuff than i do… Some even for work…

XD my boss has a list of stuff explicitly allowed to pirat for work because the license is stupidly expensive and we only need it once a leap year.

Beautiful 😍

Best of luck with your endless tech support anytime something doesn’t work.
This right here is what keeps me from charging for Jellyfin access.

Sending lots of love to you and your family.
That is a great movie. Don’t let social justice warriors tell you it’s not. Sorry to hear about your dad.
