Weird, you’re overcomplicating things and receiving a worse experience as a result.

Just use ublock origin or adnauseam. Make sure you update/enable all of the blocklists in the settings.

Use a VPN. Here’s a free one: https://riseup.net/en/vpn

Go to a torrent site, such as https://1337x.to/

Search the movie you want, find a torrent that suits you.

Download and watch.

Here’s a free streaming site: https://hydrahd.sh/

You may have to go through the uBlock Origin settings and add/update all the blocklists.

That’s fair. I think a hybrid solution of owning/streaming is best.

Free streaming sites are the easiest way to watch something and we should be recommending them more often.

You should have an adblocker like ublock origin or Adnauseam installed.

Dunning-kruger effect on full display right here.

This guy thinks he knows so much, yet doesn’t even know about adblockers. Sad.

The best part?

People richer than you and their useful idiots.

I don’t understand the comparisons people make between OSS and comunism.

It shows.

Piracy is a solution, not a problem.

The problem is the disparity in wealth and the sea of useful idiots who think copyright and patent laws benefit us.

I want the representatives of the ruling class to look at copyright and patents laws as little as possible.

I guarantee you, any changes they make will not be in our favor.

Downloading books needs to be the norm for education.

It’s disgusting how we create this culture where those who have wealth get priority access to knowledge that will help them further their wealth.

Publishing shouldn’t even be an industry in 2025.

Or 2024… 2023… etc etc.

Man this generation sucks.

The disparity in wealth should shrink instead of grow.

Sharing software is a tool to achieve that end.

That’s fine. “Defederation” will have less meaning as time goes on and there are different sections of the fediverse that support different ideals.

The more people that are afraid of “defederation” and adjust their behavior as a result, the more power it has.

No alternate opinions are allowed apparently…

Yeah, mods will just ban us if we get reported enough. It doesn’t matter if the reports or accurate or if we’re actually breaking any rules.

They don’t realize it, but that kind of behavior has a long term effect on the health and perception of the community.

I’m looking forward to the sections of the fediverse that don’t abuse their mod power. Right now we don’t really have any since most of the mods are immature.

Lemmy is definitely turning into an echo-chamber among the bigger instances.

It’s okay, though. Once enough people get censored, it opens up the opportunity for people to start instances that don’t abuse their mod power.

I’d rather see lemmy.world shrink to irrelevance because their mods are just using it as a tool to push their agendas.

You might not be a pirate, but did you know they’re censoring piracy communities from you? Not sure if you want to be a part of an instance whose mod team feels they get to make decisions like that for you.

original or thoughtful

That’s the problem, the powers that b have deemed it necessary that we only have 1 of 2 ideas.

Either you’re loyal to conservatives, or loyal to neo-liberals. Anything else is cause for a ban, and there will be no cavalry to defend you since you’re not loyal to either side.
