I still want my stereo for Bluetooth/USB, just no way to easily access AM/FM/satellite function in the stereo.

I seriously wish I could disable the radio in my car. Nothing worse than accidentally turning it on and being blasted with an obnoxious commercial or overplayed pop song.

What’s the “Mullvad fiasco”?

Edit: after searching Lemmy, I found that about 6 days ago people were talking about Mullvad disabling port forwarding. Is this the “fiasco”? I just want to make sure I know exactly what’s going on.

Who who, who who. Who are you?

I woke up in a soho doorway A policeman knew my name

I only restarted when they started pulling all the shit off Netflix and making up their own. Everyone needs a + service now, even fucking Walmart. And the thought of paying for ads on Hulu was not going to happen. Fuck them all.

But they’ve kind of made me enjoy piracy more as I rediscover it. I don’t have to worry about shit like a Community episode getting pulled because they’re scared of getting canceled or because a contract expired and the only downtimes I have now are my own, not because someone else decided to do surprise maintenance on a server I don’t own. I also don’t have to switch between 10 different apps to watch different shows/movies.

Same as it was in my neighborhood. Smoke shops would have them on display under a glass counter. I assumed it was somehow legal for a long time.

Just not something local cops care enough about. Hell, local cops are probably buying those copies too.

It’s the FBI that does the enforcement of those laws, and more so only comes down when the MPAA lawyers are aware of it. And neither FBI or MPAA are aware until it’s a bigger operation, like a series of 76 gas stations across the west coast are all selling bootlegs and the regional manager is in on it or something. But the local gas station or neighborhood barber shop? Too small to care about and would bring more negative publicity since the neighborhood would be highly upset attacking a small business owner like that.

We definitely are. We started to get a little spoiled back then when those DVD quality bootlegs came around too. Like screeners from another country but in English and a watermark on them somewhere lol. And then the cam quality were something most people turned their nose up at, even if that’s all was available.

Kind of funny now that I say that…that deters a lot of people from cam quality and does today as well. If all I can find is cam, forget it. I’ll wait until the DVD/stream is released. But I wait so I can get that in pirate form. I bet others, like my friend who asks me to upload a copy to my Plex server, goes to the movies instead of pirating since cam is all that is available.

But I’ve been burned by some bad cams. Like not just bad video and audio quality but also people standing up in front of the camera or being too loud and I can’t even hear or see the movie.

Back in the day, and probably even now, as I used to encounter them when I lived in the big city, cam copies were famous on the streets. It was the only way to get a bootleg copy while the movie was still in theatres but you didn’t want to go for whatever reason.

When I lived in the big city, in a not so great area, the guys used to be in the grocery store parking lot or barbers or smoke shops selling the DVDs and before that were selling VHS copies.

And then when LimeWire grew in popularity, people would upload those like they would any retail DVD. And then went on to torrents as those grew in popularity.

And it still continues today for similar reasons. People want the fame that comes with uploading the first copy online or the first decent quality.

You’re looking for something like Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby.

You’ll hear these thrown around a lot. Plex is the most popular with Jellyfin coming up over the years.

This is if you want to host your own media on a “server” at home.

If you want someone else’s media, you can still use these, like someone else sharing their media library with you or you can go the route of something like Kodi that hosts content from elsewhere. The options are almost limitless with this last one.

Can’t seem to find my block list to know what they were specifically, sorry.

I blocked two bots and my feed got so much better. They were the two that just kept reposting stuff from Reddit and YouTube and it was very obnoxious.

I can see why others may like it, but I didn’t. It was just an annoyance.

I want to hang the uncensored version in my office.

Looks more like GI Jane to me.

Don’t slap me too, Will!

I always loved reading what Goofus was up to. Gallant was too damn boring with all his pleasantries and politeness.

Malcolm in the Middle & Metal Gear Solid V

Not sure how this would look.

This was every party I went to as a kid
