Just give them a usb of the show for Christ’s sake! Sneaker net that shit. Which show btw?
I tried that once. They never watched the show and didn’t give back the USB. 🙁
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
Isn’t that too risky though? That can be an evidence when argued in the court
Best of luck with your endless tech support anytime something doesn’t work.
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
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.
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
You could share this sublemmy’s pinned post, or the megathread it links to:
fmhy.pages.dev/beginners-guide/
fmhy.net also hosts the same guides I believe
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.
