    I actually agree with HBO. Password sharing isn’t great because it means that you’re giving them money. It’s time to get started with file sharing instead.

        Ngl the first time I heard about “The Pitt” I read it as “The Pit” and was super confused why it features a hospital.

        Great show though.

    Since the Righteous Gemstones ended there is nothing I watch on there anyway.

    He also said the company is focused on improving the service itself.

    Cool afterthought, bro. Something to look into once you’ve dialed in the right amount of “aggressive language”.

      Their video player still doesn’t even support double click to full screen.

      Fuck you.

      Don’t be a savage, create users for people.

      I should get into that, I at least have all four seasons of WestWorld still available for viewing.

        A seedbox that allows streaming is a great buy. I split the $40/mo cost among 4 people and have a server on 50Gb connection, 20TB of upload per month(streaming bandwidth excluded) and 8TB of storage. Using private trackers I can add new content nearly instantly (under 5 seconds for a 1080p copy, a few minutes for 4k things) so even if it isn’t already available it’ll be done before your popcorn.

      People said the same thing about Netflix. Sadly, its not true. They gained record numbers of new subscribers after and recently hit a new milestone of 300+ million subscribers.

        The new subscribers mostly came from emerging markets where Netflix is cheaper.

    Didn’t they say this like five years ago? Any time I share access I just have friends/family VPN into my home network. ¯\(ツ)/¯

      So did you just cancel the HBO max subscription in YouTubeTV, or did you cancel YouTubeTV altogether?

    How do I find a private tracker?

    None of my friends are very tech savvy, and thepiratebay sucks balls.

    • cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Add the RSS feed for /r/OpenSignups to your feed reader. Wait for a good tracker to open up. TorrentLeech was open last week. It will probably be quite a while until they open again, but that’s a good tracker that’s easy to get onto.

      The other option is to interview for MyAnonaMouse or Redacted. They have invite forums that you can use to sign up for other trackers once you get access to it.
