Nah, I was reffering to Stallman's definition of 'open source'. He gets very mad when you reffer to FOSS as just 'open source' instead of 'free and open source', even tho almost everyone means FOSS when they say open source. And just for clarification: FOSS is defined by the FSF not by Stallman direct.
I mean you can't do anything wrong with it, but you should be ready to troubleshoot and look into it.
I mean how are streaming sites suposed to not work? I don't know about desktop applications, but a browser does the job, so why use a desktop application that doesn't even support an adblocker.
TLDR: You'll be able to watch your shows, but if you want to use GNU/Linux you should look into it a bit.
EDIT: If you consider GNU/Linux I'd strongly recommend becoming familiar with the terminal (no matter which distro you choose).
Also you should ask for some beginners guide on !linux@lemmy.world or !linux@lemmy.ml
I disagree, voting is always right, but there's only an ideal outcome if the population is educated about the topic.
If people would have realised, that the true worst power source is fosile fules, we'd have cheaper electricity and better co2 rates now.
Same problem with power in austria btw, if some missinformed teens wouldn't have tried to be important back then we'd be maybe fully selfsufficient regaeding power now.
They get paid by the producer.
The producer get's money by selling a license to netflix, scamazon prime, etc.
Netflix get's their money by scamming people, if no one wants to get scammed anymore and everyone'd stop subscribing to streaming services. The producer would have to actually sell it for a fair price directly to consumers or sell it to someone who sells it to consumers, like it used to be.
Always remember, that if they can't pay their staff, they have to find another buisnes or distribution model. The actors aren't the risk takers of the producers investment.
You should also never view pirates as a potential customer, if I wouldn't pirate I still wouldn't buy it.
