If I could easily do this on my desktop/laptop I legitimately might stop pirating media. I would also stop if the streaming companies just let me watch full quality and didn’t take away what I purchased because the rights holder decided they want you to buy it again on another platform.
I don’t mind much paying for streaming (although that’s increasingly more and more annoying and I still tend to just download whatever I actually care about) but until and unless I can pay to “own” a movie and they just provide me with a DRM free video file of some sort, I will never “purchase” digital content like this.
If you tried this kind of bullshit in just about any other context, even normal people would think you’re crazy.
Normal Person: “hi there, one blender please. I’ll take this one for $25.”
Sales person: “Cool here’s your receipt.”
NP:: “It says here at the bottom of the receipt that you can just come in my house and take this blender back whenever you want or maybe never?”
SP: “yep.”
NP:: “And you don’t tell people that ahead of time?”
SP: “no when you buy it you agree to that by opening the box and it is on the receipt you get after you bought it.”
NP: “you fuckin with me rn?”
SP: “afraid not, and would you look at that corp says I need that blender back, thanks.”
SP: “oh, shoot. I see here you also bought a toaster from EvilCorp sold in one of our EvilMart locations a couple years ago, we’ve decided to license that brand instead to our new partners FukUMart, so we’ll be taking that toaster but if you want you can head to your local FukUMart and buy that toaster again for more than you paid the first time.”
NP: spontaneously combusts
Anyone who has worked in retail will tell you this is absolutely, concretely, and vehemently something corporate would expect their employees to actually say to customers, so don’t go giving them any ideas…
If you want to read the gritty-nitty of how exactly was the Widevine blob patched and worked around specifically to not violate the DMCA, here’s the specific article
Super interesting read. We get to experience apple’s incredible engineering, but we don’t often get the chance to see how things work under the hood. This was probably the most interesting article I’ve read in the past month.
That Fedora Spin just works. This afternoon I fired up mine to a colleague, he was blown away: I’ve got the Spinning Cube! And the Wobbly Windows! Dzoinggg!
But seriously (tho I love my Cube), kdenlive, Ardour, the works, and all on modern pipewire - just works. It’s what I need, it is indeed fantastic work, both from the Asahi team and the Fedora people.
(Yes, I had to do all those things to get Netflix, yikes)
The only platform not yet supported is the Mac Pro, although there probably isn’t much left to do. No, not the “MacBook Pro”, but the “Mac Pro” – the one that looks like a cheese grater and costs thrice as much.
I’ve always wondered what sort of look they were going for.
That’s what i’m saying. I looked for a CPU cooler lastly and Noctua & co. (all with dark webpage) all neatly cut their product image on transparent. But Apple can’t bother for their overpriced cheesegrater.
When did they give up on the trash can? I miss the trash can. It was easier to call it overpriced garbage when it looked like an actual garbage receptical.
I just looked at the product page and every single image makes me dislike this product more than the last. The goddamn thing probably weighs 10 pounds and comes with fucking wheels.
Edit: Apparently it weighs 37 pounds. I don’t know how they crammed that much bullshit into a 18 by 9 by 20 box, but they did and then they slapped wheels on it. The wheels are probably considered a two thousand dollar “value” by Apple, though.
bullshit doesn’t end here. There’s a $1k monitor stand, that needs a $200 extension to be vesa compatible, and is no better then some free stands that u get with (dare I say) normal monitors.
Or better yet, a Raspberry Pi running LibreELEC so that you don’t have to worry about where your software comes from or what it’s doing in the background
why is this an L? Linux is fully capable of 4k playback. any Linux user (with a 4k screen) can go to YouTube and watch a 4k video in full quality. Linux support is there, the bandwidth is probably there, the hardware power is there (Asahi Linux is for Apple hardware), so the problem is either Netflix or DRM in general
Giving you the benefit of the doubt, how is this an ‘L’ for Linux?
Of course you’re allowed to not like Linux enthusiasts; like any hardcore dedicated group, they can be intense and uncompromising… But that has nothing to do with this.
A bad take from a good person. I like your history so i want you to think about this…Don’t get mad at or direct hate towards passionate people. The world needs them to make stuff for the rest of us schlubs who spread our attention thin. Besides, isn’t some of that annoyance, just a little of that prickly feeling, jealousy?
I get the feeling you’re expressing here, i do. I’ve felt it myself. I personally have wondered why, and done some self-reflection and considered maybe this is my answer. If it makes sense then maybe it is your answer too. Whatever you’re reason for feeling this way, the next thing to ponder is is whether expressing this emotion to others has a practical use for them to hear, out for you to say.
This one is a feeling that is useless to everyone especially yourself.
it is one to recognize as a failing and to work on, not to express in a forum as an emotion to be proud of

The Ratio or Ratioed refers to an unofficial Twitter law which states that if the amount of replies to a tweet greatly outnumbers the number of retweets and likes, then the tweet is bad. Additionally, “to ratio” a tweet means to make a quote retweet or reply that manages to get more likes and retweets than the quoted post.
Massive downvote to upvote discrepancy on Lemmy would constitute “a ratio” / “getting ratioed“.
The level of downvotes on this comment is absolutely wild, although unsurprising since the OP is about a W for Linux…
On the flipside at least we’re not a certain other website that restricts user activity based on their internet points… so OC can still participate without their stuff being auto deleted by a bot
Problem isn’t just on Linux’s side for a change. Louis Rossmann did a video on Netflix’s bullshit some weeks ago. Seems it’s far from uncommon to not get what you’re paying for with those shitbags
when we’ve had netflix (off and on a couple months at a time, last was about a year and a half ago), we often encountered 540p max playback on “hd” titles that should have (legitimately) been streaming at 1080p; and we rarely were able to use all the simultaneous connections of the plan (usually only limit-1)
I’m still on the old cheapest 720p plan that they no longer offer (waiting to see if they jack the price up or silently move us to a different plan). I stream on too many devices that would require way too much fuckery to get a higher resolution anyways plus we’ve really only encountered the number of screens limit once

Digital goods in the 20s be like
“If buying it isn’t owning it, that means pirating it isn’t stealing it”

JellyFin likes my new 20 TB HDD very much. That’s all I’m saying.
Link for the hdd? I’ve got like five 5tb drives all wired to a usb hub and need to bite the bullet and get some real storage solutions.
deleted by creator
Look at getting a sas array. They’re expandable and hold lots of drives. You can pick one up for around $200
https://diskprices.com/?locale=us&condition=new&capacity=20-&disk_types=internal_hdd
Good place to find what’s a good deal. I think my search string there is specifically 20+tb drives.
These people are so hardcore, I love reading their news, there is at least one thing that makes me go WTF in a positive sense every time
This picture originally actually doesn’t come from the article linked, but rather from here https://www.da.vidbuchanan.co.uk/blog/netflix-on-asahi.html
Tubi.tv and Xumo are what Netflix was in 2010 and they are much better than Netflix today. Movies and shows I want to watch are there plus live tv.
Still remember having to patch widevine L1 on my Poco F1 just to get HD working on Netflix.
Weirdly my totally legally obtained DRMless video files never had this issue.
This team surprises me every time😁
Asahi Linux devs go hard.

I’ve always wondered what sort of look they were going for.
I remember seeing it and thinking “No, this can’t be real. No way Apple actually did this.”
Edit: I just checked and if you apply all upgrades, the total hardware cost is $12,348. That’s 3.5th the price of the future Vision Pro
Have fun with your seven thousand dollar cheese grater.
Might’ve been a marketing move to connect to the apple pie with cheese demographic.
Did they just forget to crop the whole thing? It looks even more hideous with the grey background on the black background.
My browser is forcing dark mode on it and the picture is not transparent.
That’s what i’m saying. I looked for a CPU cooler lastly and Noctua & co. (all with dark webpage) all neatly cut their product image on transparent. But Apple can’t bother for their overpriced cheesegrater.

The Mac Pro only costs three times as much as a cheese grater???
Apparently they make it up on the wheels. Apple is a strange company.
I think the wheels and stuff are just for marketing at this point.
Wait, what wheels?
look it up on apple store, if it’s still on there
I just looked at the product page and every single image makes me dislike this product more than the last. The goddamn thing probably weighs 10 pounds and comes with fucking wheels.

Gotta respect a quality use of the word “thrice”
Ignoring its existence is spitting in the mouth of pragmatism, and not in a good way
What comes after thrice? Quadrice? Tetrice?
Whatever you want, man, that’s the trick
The only reason I use Netflix is the PS3, because I don’t have a smart TV
You don’t need a smart tv, keep your dumb one and consider buying a Roku, save yourself a few cents
Or a Nokia Streaming Box
Or better yet, a Raspberry Pi running LibreELEC so that you don’t have to worry about where your software comes from or what it’s doing in the background
Common Linux L. As much as i hate Netflix, Linux bros as worse.

Linux support is there, the bandwidth is probably there, the hardware power is there (Asahi Linux is for Apple hardware), so the problem is either Netflix or DRM in general
Even on Windows, you only get full bitrate Netflix playback in the UWP Windows Store app.
Obvious bait.
For what it’s worth.
Fair
Such horrible people, fighting back against senseless DRM
Wow.

Yeah, I fell for this once a year ago and was dumbfounded to only get 480p when I paid for “UHD”. Never paying again. Great job, bean counters.
when we’ve had netflix (off and on a couple months at a time, last was about a year and a half ago), we often encountered 540p max playback on “hd” titles that should have (legitimately) been streaming at 1080p; and we rarely were able to use all the simultaneous connections of the plan (usually only limit-1)
When it’s like that I’m happy we only have the cheapest netflix, and then 🏴☠️ when they eventually remove what you were watching.
They even removed One Punch Man 🙄
I’m still on the old cheapest 720p plan that they no longer offer (waiting to see if they jack the price up or silently move us to a different plan).
