I actually agree with HBO. Password sharing isn’t great because it means that you’re giving them money. It’s time to get started with file sharing instead.

Currently a 1.72 ratio on The Pitt

Ngl the first time I heard about "The Pitt" I read it as "The Pit" and was super confused why it features a hospital.

Great show though.

I lost my dad recently. I fully wept at the honor walk, and again at Dr Robbie's flashback scene. You know the one

My fiancé lost her father recently just after we watched

Tap for spoilerThe episode with the brother and sister losing their dad. She lives in another country, and I wasn’t able to be there in person. Instead, on a discord video call since she put her phone down while I was keeping her company, I watched as she cried out for her dad as they tried to revive him. I don’t think I’ll ever experience a more shitty moment in my life.

Thankfully, she’s now in higher spirits after a month and is being positive by looking at old photos, keeping up with hobbies and stuff.

Wishing you the best, I lost my mom when I was 11, no death of a loved one is ever easy.

Grief is weird and normal. Glad she's in relatively good spirits. Sometimes I get The Sads or The Grumpies and don't know why until I remember. Try to be patient with her and yourself. You sound like a good friend

And remember, grief doesn't have an expiration date

Great show... that childbirth scene was a little unnecessarily graphic though imo haha. But I get why they did it i guess.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah I felt like the only reason for it was to get the effects team an Emmy. Well deserved, but felt forced.

No pun intended.

[-] prole 2 points 1 week ago

Oh was that the episode they submitted for? Interesting. I figured they just wanted to fully commit to the ultra-realism and real-time aspects.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Tbh I don't know for sure but read several articles about the use of "practical effects" vs CGI.

[-] HertzDentalBar 1 points 1 week ago

Now I just picture an episode of 24 about birth.

He also said the company is focused on improving the service itself.

Cool afterthought, bro. Something to look into once you've dialed in the right amount of "aggressive language".

[-] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 week ago

Their video player still doesn't even support double click to full screen.

Fuck you.

[-] prole 10 points 1 week ago

I wish they'd let me block Bill Maher from my app

Piracy spike expected in earnest in September*

[-] Resplendent606@piefed.social 32 points 2 weeks ago

That be ok. Me crew sails the 'igh seas an' we don't 'ave to share passwords.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

So will the mass cancellation

[-] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

People said the same thing about Netflix. Sadly, its not true. They gained record numbers of new subscribers after and recently hit a new milestone of 300+ million subscribers.

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

The new subscribers mostly came from emerging markets where Netflix is cheaper.

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

ive been getting hbo max for free for like two years cause they think i pay through youtube tv which i haven't had for two years.

they better not take it away from me

[-] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

So did you just cancel the HBO max subscription in YouTubeTV, or did you cancel YouTubeTV altogether?

i had yttv with hbo and signed in through uttv/google to create my max account but i got rid of yttv years ago

[-] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Interesting... thanks for the reply!

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Didn’t they threaten this like five years ago? Any time I share access I just have friends/family VPN into my home network. ¯\(ツ)

How do I find a private tracker?

None of my friends are very tech savvy, and thepiratebay sucks balls.

[-] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 week ago

Add the RSS feed for /r/OpenSignups to your feed reader. Wait for a good tracker to open up. TorrentLeech was open last week. It will probably be quite a while until they open again, but that's a good tracker that's easy to get onto.

The other option is to interview for MyAnonaMouse or Redacted. They have invite forums that you can use to sign up for other trackers once you get access to it.

Since the Righteous Gemstones ended there is nothing I watch on there anyway.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

I'll use the money I save from dumping HBO to buy extra treats for me parrot. Yarrr!
