Best of luck with your endless tech support anytime something doesn't work.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 years ago

This right here is what keeps me from charging for Jellyfin access.

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 2 years ago

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.

Sending lots of love to you and your family.

Just give them a usb of the show for Christ's sake! Sneaker net that shit. Which show btw?

[-] Xyre@lemmus.org 84 points 2 years ago

I tried that once. They never watched the show and didn't give back the USB. 🙁

[-] Gormadt 48 points 2 years ago

USBs nowadays are a dime a dozen basically for 16GB sticks

They can literally be bought in 10 packs for less than $30.

If they don't give one back nowadays so be it.

Back in the day it was a terrible loss though

I wonder if you applied inflation from the time that idiom was first popularized what the modern price would be.

[-] Gormadt 9 points 2 years ago

I had to look into it because once you mentioned that I was curious.

So the saying originated sometime before 1930 when it first appeared in print and likely in the 1800s. (Source)

And when I went to an inflation calculator the earliest date I could select was January of 1913. Which I couldn't help but share the results of.

About $3.20.

So yeah, about a dime a dozen... 111 years ago lol.

Welcome to Wrexham.

Not the kind of guy who'd watch something from a USB. Technically not a co-worker but a former co-worker, because he retired a couple of years ago.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago

I did this for a coworker not too long ago.

I think it was for Firefly....

They gave the USB drive back too. Win-win

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.

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.

Great, now I'll never not notice how many brand names are baby sounds

[-] kbal@fedia.io 9 points 2 years ago

It used to be on ploob, but season 3 is only on nimbo now.

[-] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 39 points 2 years ago

I just honestly answer that I don't know.

[-] SoleInvictus 31 points 2 years ago

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

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 20 points 2 years ago

"Oh, I download it from well known and respected torrent sites. All the services I might use are crap."

[-] Muscar@discuss.online 18 points 2 years ago

I get this almost daily, my whole family and several friends know I'm good at recommending things to them so they always go to me to ask what to watch. I've had to start looking up and writing down where each movie and show is available "normally". I have no issue saying I get everything via other means but whem it became a thing where people started asking "can you also look up where it's available" just because it's not always easy to figure that out and they knew I didn't know and generally find it quicker than them.

[-] simon574@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago

It's more difficult in Europe. For example, when South Park: Post Covid released on Paramount+ in the US, there was no legal way to steam it in Germany or Austria AFAIR. And these are not exactly third-world countries.

Me: The internet ;) ;)

[-] beefsquatch@programming.dev 16 points 2 years ago

Depends on how cool they are

[-] akilou@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Right, exactly. The alternative to this meme is offering them access to my Plex server.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

The Pirate Bay - free streaming service

[-] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago

The Pirate Bay

Its pretty outdated these days

[-] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

It just doesn't have that many files anymore, since not that many people use it. 1337x.to is more popular now

[-] istanbullu@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

🏴‍☠️ service
