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
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.I just respond with a hearty “yeeearghhhh!” and continue the conversation. The coworkers that know get it, the rest think I’m a lunatic.
it’s on ploob
yes that is what I was referencing
Oh… well then you spelled your made up parody word wrong :/
I did not, it was a dual-reference.
Oh, ok. Whats the other reference too?
Great, now I’ll never not notice how many brand names are baby sounds

The Pirate Bay - free streaming service
The Pirate Bay
Its pretty outdated these days
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.
It just doesn’t have that many files anymore, since not that many people use it. 1337x.to is more popular now
I just honestly answer that I don’t know.
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.
fmhy.pages.dev/beginners-guide/
fmhy.net also hosts the same guides I believe
You could share this sublemmy’s pinned post, or the megathread it links to:
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
I appreciate it!

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.
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.
