I like that even Elon fanboys I know have started to realise what a complete idiot he is, how you can fuck up running Twitter so bad is incomprehensible.

Hopefully with him burning it into the ground people see him for the charlatan he is and stop giving him so much respect.

Yeah the titles are actually a huge draw for me.

$29k before tax and manager fees as an actor for 6 months of work really does not seem worth it, how on earth is that possible?

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Fight Club as a thing to rewatch with no memory that would be amazing.

For a film I’d want to erase cause it was awful I’d go with the last Jedi I genuinely hated that film. Or Star Trek into darkness hated that also.

Colour me surprised that Mr Musk and lowering moderating standards would lower advertising revenue.

I’d only change one thing and say most of the problems for Iran started because of the UK/US being imperialistic and has never recovered as a result

The most useful comment in this entire thread, the search results are a bit of a mess currently and that’s a huge stumbling block.

I tried a simple search query with lemmy and the way results come back is not good

it’s going to take a long time for that to change but just as a casual user I doubt I’d click anything past the first few reddit links.

You know my story isn’t very different from yours.

As a teenager I massively pirated everything, became an adult with a paying job streaming was sensible so I paid for Netflix/Spotify eventually adding in Prime video + the occasional thing like P+/disney+ or whatever flavour of the month I wanted to watch.

Then earlier this year I realised I was paying for 6 different movie/tv streaming subs and when I went on holiday none of the services I had worked properly and I couldn’t continue watching the show I had been watching at night before bed and I just went nah fuck this. Blew about 2 grand on a Mac Mini m2 and a ton of hard drives and just went full on Arr stack + usenet + plex lifetime.

It isn’t even about the fucking money anymore it’s just how inconvenient they make everything, I’ve had enough and I don’t think I’m ever going back.

Really good extension, I’ve added it to my browser.

While some creators like Linus have said they dislike the clickbaity titles and thumbnails but they have to do it due to engagement that’s simply because the younger generations are the ones engaging with that content. As an older person I’d rather just have a to the point description of what I’m going to get.

Honestly Plex/Emby/Jellyfin whichever you prefer is a gamechanger because if you have a large library of content then it just cuts the cord from the subscription services.

I’ve always been happy to pay for them until I went on holiday last January and realised that none of my services were working due to going to a country that was out of the way and the only way to access them was to use a VPN.

So having my own Netflix is a great thing.

Tailscale while doing the above is also really cool
