Yeah, I’m not installing DRM to watch anything on any service. I’ll pirate, thanks very much.

Or you could buy it legally. What we need is a way to keep a lot of the crime at bay while making sure people who take the time to buy blurays and DVDs can still have a legal home library

Blu Ray and DVDs have DRM too.

Disney announced the end of physical media in Australia and New Zealand. Blackmarkets arise naturally when supply does not meet demand. It is preferable, morally and for society if people share media for free rather than fund organised crime as happens with most other black markets. I try and support creative industries where I can but piracy is the lesser evil in some cases.

Absolutely insane, the level of technical prowess and how much time and effort went into making something like this work. Although, DRM is cancer and shouldn’t exist, I can respect how this dude hacked it.

Reminding me why I don’t nerd out nearly as hard as I used to. I’m way too lazy for this sort of thing now and there’s only so much time in a day.

Great piece, impressive work; Fedora now ships widevine by default - and it’s not working anymore. I have a recent Asahi install, netflix won’t play (used to work at the time of this blog post).

For me it works fine, but I guess that might be because I use the flatpak version of Firefox.

Linux

Create post

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
