Oh sure, The interface has gotten so much more horrible, this can be added to it as well.

Cable is starting to look reasonable with all the subscription services and ads out there now

Cable internet? I agree. Nowhere near using all its last-mile capacity, yet.

pyromaniac_donkey,

The american culture and America itself is a cancer to the world. Good thing that shithole is collapsing.

Kase,

hey now :(

BigBananaDealer,

america is collapsing because a company raised prices?

Well, not just because a company, did…

kadotux,

“Commercials in movies and series will be introduced in the U.S., UK, Germany, and Canada in early 2024, followed by France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Australia later in the year.”

So rest of the world is safe from this at least until 2025?

Phanatik,

I'd like to cancel my Amazon subscription but unfortunately, my entire family is using it to buy stuff off Amazon.

possiblylinux127,

This is one of the reasons I say no to DRM

Just cancelled my prime membership. The movie offer was rather boring tbh, and I get more interesting series elsewhere.

I wonder what their reason for cable-cutting will be now.

Time to telegram.

cyberpunk007,

Where do I find this stuff on telegram?

There are some telegram bots and channels. But those can’t be shared here because of piracy reasons. Try searching in search engines, you may get few.

If you want a free version with ads they have Freevee. I mean, they don’t have the same shows but it’s free.

pyromaniac_donkey,

I still dont understand the need of people who watch tv series. How fucking empty and boring must their lives be.

FordPrefect,
@FordPrefect@startrek.website avatar

I can’t speak for anyone else, but yes, mine is.

I’ve never had Prime though. The reason my life is boring and empty, is (I think) because I avoid participating in things I don’t wholeheartedly approve of.

Viewing media, is an insidiously passive form of participation, so I do intently watch plenty of TV\movies (recently figured out it’s about 6-8 things a week).

The rest of my life is just household chores, bicycling, & traveling when I get the chance.
Doing Things makes me feel like Ged.

pyromaniac_donkey,

The first step is realizing its a problem. Dont let TV take care of your life brother.

So real; I have just years of old '90s SciFi etched into my brain. SciFi novels, too, but it might be nice if some percentage were nonfiction? I dunno, honestly at this point I’m just glad when I see media with a plot that I don’t immediately foresee the denouement of.

Weirdly, I watch less TV now than when I had more monthly bills to work off.

I was even doing pretty well about steering clear of social-marketing sites, until SMBC-comics added a comments section directly below the first of four stops on my (semi-)daily funny pages.

Leila,

I think a downloader will be neccessaire, it will cost too much money if we bought them all.
