The original comic said 2019 in the third panel as well as HBO Go. Time for a 2023/Max edit, I guess.
I remember having some reservations and skepticism regarding the ongoing good faith of Netflix when it was the new hotness.
I was called, you may have guessed, a Luddite, and told that "it would be bad business" if Netflix fucked people over and that it’d be silly to hold on to physical copies of entertainment media.
Now I’m basically this face to the same people
It really is the only way
Lemme just dust this off and leave it here

Such disrespect for Peacock
I never really took off my favorite hat
There used to be a time when you could watch Hulu without a subscription. Times change. Some other times loop.
phew Crossposted
It seems like the same issue as cable. It’s not a la carte like we were promised, we get bundles of shows. So my pet peeve is I’d have to subsidize fox news if I want a news package. Not happening. I don’t watch 90% of these package deals. It’s almost $90 a month for Hulu live, and it keeps going up.
Netflix is literally 6x more expensive while having like 6x less content too. and the content they do produce is garbage.
What do you mean, they have lots of good shows that get cancelled after one season with the story on a cliff hanger
Archive 81 gang where you at?
Crying in the corner? Alrighty
they actually do produce some good content it’s just rare sadly and it’s getting more rare
I’ll go to my grave mad they cancelled Mindhunter
That was the one that soured me. No more of that nonsense.
Right? Who in their right mind cancels Mindhunter?
Firefly steeled my heart to any other cancelations.
I can’t be hurt again.
It’s a shame that this instance is just full of child sex crime and the people who defend them.
WTF are you talking about? db0 runs the fediseer project which helps other instances actively block such content.
Not to mention lemmy-safety :D
I can post case numbers: If you have any information about the ongoing investigations please contact Toronto PD
User @Stanley_Pain purveys simulated child porn and claims to be a Ukraine soldier, soliciting and extorting donations for his pornography production
I’m not allowed to upload the images, but although he’s deleted it all, his stolen valor is still being investigated by Ukraine and stolenvalour.ca
All users on this sub have had complaints filled in US, UK and Canada.
I urge you to enjoy your CP while it lasts. This is one of a few dozen accounts monitoring your pornography community until @Stanley_Pain apologizes to the Ukraine sub for messaging then from mastodon named NickR (nigger, because he found out I was American)
If you are reading this and then you do NOTHING, you are guilty of criminal neglect and are suspected of aiding and abetting child porn.
DM for more proof. Your mods won’t let you see this because they fuck kids.
Reverse search the girls faces 😥
In fact I am an admin, and I already messaged you on Sunday to ask for evidence to back up this report and you didn’t provide any. If you could provide even a single link to CSAM posted on one of our communities, I would be happy to investigate further. But if you keep making these serious claims backed up with zero evidence then I’m just going to have to assume you are trolling. Also FYI our instance has automatic scanning and blocking of image uploads for CSAM.
Just dump your crim, or catch fleas. Good luck
@Db0 helped him wipe
I’m going to leave this thread here for transparency, but for anyone reading this, I’m banning this user for trolling. I’ve asked twice for any evidence and they won’t provide any.
He used his modtools to prevent me, I have proof, please provide an non lemmy.dbzer0.com link to send and CC to law enforcement please
You also need to look at the prompts and metadata for the simulated CP as it includes incriminating language and software. He mixes and matches the features of actual minors. Please please please do something about that and the fact he lies and victimizes people.
Who are you people to defend stolen valor? I’m leaving this to law enforcement. Good luck
Everytime I try my socials get deleted, ALL my socials
I’m confused. You mean the lemmy.dbzer0.com instance?
Hey this is only the 900.000. time I see this, this year. Maybe post it more often so we can come to 1.000.000 !
I use to torrent everything until Netflix and as competitors began popping up it was fine as it was convenient but now I can’t keep up with what’s where. Had to dust off the hat and learned to set up a server for jellyfin. I tried being fair but they got greedy
Another main reason why I took off my hat back then was because I was a broke college kid with garbage internet speed and my only computer was a laptop. Torrenting shows sometimes means I need to have my laptop on for days. Now I have an entire homelab setup with a dedicated VM on one of my servers for torrenting and I can afford fast internet. I was pleasantly surprised how efficiently I can torrent when I got back sailing recently.
I thoroughly regret not building up a physical media library over the past decade to throw into Jellyfin or something to avoid all the streaming services. facepalm
These media can be found, yarrrr
Step 1: Get a reputable VPN.
Step 2: Install uBlock Origin.
Already have step 2, have any recommendations for VPN’s?
Proton VPN, Airvpn, and Mullvad are all reputable. Proton and Air have port forwarding if that’s a requirement for you.
I use Proton VPN.
I spent years building a 20tb media archive. I got paranoid I might get caught so I turned my back up drives into encrypted Veracrypt volumes. Before I had a chance to transfer my stuff to them my piece of crap QNAP NAS died and I couldn’t decrypt their proprietary RAID encryption.
Go open source kids!
I don’t think you need to worry as much once you have the media. It’s the act of downloading and sharing where people get caught.
I’m sorry for your loss. The media will remain in our hearts forever! But really, the rabbit hole for media server/NAS setups/RAID configs goes so deep I don’t know where to start or what to think sooo I just ignore it currently.
I did it just because my wife and I are brats. We didn’t want to rely on Netflix’s whims to carry our content of choice, so now we have all of it on our server.
