gno

Stop using shit browsers.

I mean really.

You can still watch through the phone's browser anyway.

Stop using voluntarily MITM'd archives.

If their DRM-scheme worsk, why do I constantly find shows from Netflix on TPB?
Stallman has warned us about this for over 30 years now. If you don't control the software, the software controls you.

Also:
Fuck Tim Berners-Lee for being a sellout!
Thanks to him the web will become a DRM hell.

More time to spend on coding projects.
Fuck (((entertainment))). Make your own.

...

that was my thought -- fuck if i could think of anything worth watching on netflix

Why? I'm not some paranoid shitstain

Just update root clients so that they return "not-rooted" when specified apps request a root-check

Its not that hard tbh

You fucking deserve it.

The precedent of DRM media can spread to non-kosher media. If Netflix is a huge success, people will copy its model wholesale for their own products.

and it mostly isn't

stop using shit websites you cock sucking faggot

Thank you user

wtf. you could download video from netflix the moment it was a thing, or just download the videos from another source such as a torrent instead of getting some fucked up version from netflix

...

I bought a new Android budget phone last year and holy fuck what a disappointment. Bloat that could not be removed, rooting was a pain and still could not get that fucking bloat away because it could break something else. Need to sign in to everything, even to download a fucking app. Need to get a fucking gmail. FUCK OFF, Android sucks my balls.

I will try Sailfish next time.

...

Except nothing was available for my phone since it was a budget phone, only nexus and shit like that had a rom available

Then don't buy a shit android phone unless you plan to develop a ROM for it yourself.

What do you mean?
What, he single-handedly killed net neutrality or what?

He is trying his best to save us?

litterally cancer of this world

...

I need to put a fucking ROM on to get a phone that is not shit? FUCK OFF Google cucks

you know that the ROM like lineage are degooglised ?

...

but if you want apps you p.much have to install gapps and play services and you're right back to having a eric schmidt in your phone listening for badthink.

phones are god awful computers. get a laptop and use your phone like a phone.
or, fdroid, which I Hear alot about but you seem to pretend doesnt exist.

My samsung galaxy s3 has a dead battery, i got a new one but the guy told me to charge it before using it which was a major red flag because lithium batteries get damaged when they have no electricity inside and that one and all of the other ones were dated 2013. I got it anyway and it bulged within a day and wouldn't hold a charge even when idling for 2 hours, so I returned it. I don't actually use the phone much outside of making calls so I don't want to buy a new one but the annoying part is at least I already had one but now i'll have to switch back to the nokia 3301.
If any given company actually bothered making a phone that's more useful instead of flashier I'd get it but as it stands I'll just enjoy my 3 weeks of battery life with a beat up shitpostermobile.

Sage for blogpost

I use LineageOS, F-droid and guardianproject.info repos for it on my phone there is MicroG as well in the repos that can emulate the google framework that a lot of apps depend on.
