Not with that attitude

You severely misunderstood the purpose of this community…

I wish to live in a society in which this question is a moot point. Creators should have the freedom to create without having to worry about the goodwill of their audience, or worse, marketing strategies. Fans should have the freedom to access art without having to worry about the well-being of the creator, or worse, suffering guilt. Anything that is not aimed at creating and maintaining this state of being is inhumane.

Sorry, why is this posted to upliftingnews that we still have people who can’t afford basic necessities and are dependent on charity from rich people?

Ich biete hiermit eine Revanche()!

Great Scott!

I don’t think anyone’s saying that you’re to blame. It’s just that you might be persuaded to help clean up this mess.

It can still easily take hours if it’s a whole movie you’re copying and you’re transcoding it into a more space-efficient codec.

Not sure how they’re talking to one another if Lal is in the turbolift while Data is in Ten Forward

I was actually kind of confused at first about the liquid and bar soap thing. I’ve used bar soap to wash my hands all my life, and for nothing else. To wash the whole body during a shower, I use liquid soap (called shower gel) and I would find bar soap unwieldy. Moral of the story: your insistence on using one vs the other is entirely cultural.

Fun fact: even washing-up liquid (dish soap) can be used to wash your hands in a pinch.

It means “good”, “agreeable” or “desirable”. It’s modern slang so I don’t blame you.

Just for completeness, “ngl” stands for “not gonna lie” and means something akin to “in my opinion” or “to be honest”.

Because you’ll be investing in, and therefore helping that company. Only a small fraction of the company’s profit is going to reach you. You’ll be part of the problem with capitalism.

This obviously assumes that you know exactly what metadata you want to eliminate and how to view it.

The OP’s whole point of asking is that they don’t know the former.

You’ve answered your own question. “the selection is splitted” equates to “harder to stream” for anyone wanting to stream anything but the newest, greatest, most popular. Getting the full selection back requires signing up to multiple services and then having to search them for your desired content, thus getting “less quality and higher prices”.

You are, to an extent, correct that it’s not exclusively Netflix’s fault, but I don’t think entertainment pirates care about whose fault is what, they just wanna watch a show.

I’ve not heard of a show called “Star Trek New Generation”. Are you thinking of “Star Trek: The Next Generation”?

Are you sure you’re a fan?

I don’t think there is such a thing as “unwinnable people”. They’re unwinnable from a single conversation with a single person, sure. But they’re not unwinnable if the currently ongoing concerted effort by climate-denying mass media were instead directed towards delivering climate science.

Tldr: the problem isn’t the people who are brainwashed, the problem is the people doing the brainwashing.

Sometimes it’s the operator in the projection booth doing the recording, not a visitor in the theater.

Have you tried Star Trek Prodigy? It definitely has much less of the woke angle you describe compared to Discovery and Picard.

Edit to clarify: I have no issue with diversity and representation, obviously. In fact, I’m more annoyed by the right’s misappropriation of the word “woke” than I am with shows that are hamfisted about it. Nor do I think that Prodigy is any less Star Trek. I just like the writing more and think that its representation is well executed.
