I've always been surprised its remained optical media for so long. I'd have bought a USB drive with a season of television on it. No doubt they'd fuck it up with another DRM scheme.
I'm resigned to the fact that if there is no offline distribution in the not too distant future, I will still build a library of the media I want from other sources.
I'd argue it hasn't imploded on you because it's immutable. You'd have a similar rock solid experience on any of the immutable Fedora releases (Silverblue, Kinoite etc) or some of the other immutable distros
some of the big studios are starting to not do discs releases here in Australia as well. If I want an archive copy of a movie (for the months I dont feel like shelling out for streaming access), I can't even fall back to disc. The high seas is already the only place to get some content, when its not on disc and no one has purchased the digital rights
took away the daily suggestions because I don’t let it track my history
the funny thing is, if you go to a non logged in session, the suggestion page works fine. It was such an arbitratry grab for the user to consent to them collecting your data. I just bookmarked the subscriptions page and only go there now
of course! You're right! Suggesting in a thread discussing a large corporation that wants to be seen as pro open source (hearting Linux, buying github) for the last decade does something with open source code in their OS and being bold enough to do even more in the name of native compatibility is childish!
Yes reformat my already working keys for the one time I have to plug into a Windows box, or you know Microsoft could put the effort into being compatible.
not really scalable when you want to just stick the usb stick in a family member's PC. They dont want you fucking around with WSL, or they probably run home edition which has no hyper-v for WSL
Tbf a lot of the actual content is useless shit too
