Listen, if I invite you into my home and you're gonna be that way about torrents, I clearly made a huge mistake.
connected laptop to tv with some cable
Nothing visible on tv
Begins typing furiously
He mutters something about a "window manager"
Movie finally appears, no sound
"There was a tiny bit of macroblocking there. Wtf this is a remux. Think it's an issue with the player I'm using? Maybe the tv settings"
"... I didn't see anything"
Think it’s an issue with the player I’m using?
Impossible. Its VLC.
ask him to put on Pikmin
he glances at me and starts fumbling with some weird sd card slot on his Wii
we sit there while he does something on the Wii menu with trembling Wiimote
he mumbles something about "nintendont"
Jokes on you, I had the opposite experience. My roommate was messing with the Netflix app earlier in the day and somehow broke it. And was able to save the day by pulling the "Oh, well I already pirated the movie just in case" card on my date.
I was bumming my roommate's Netflix subscription anyway, I wouldn't pay for that garbage.
I use lookmovie2.to for most things. I use an ad blocker and pw manager. Idk seems fine. I'm not allowed to use a VPN so torrents aren't and option
Remote work. plus I just don't want to either forget to turn it off or on. I left the client open all night and my ISP told me they would cut me off.
You could set up a new user on your computer for torrents and use a VPN client that provides a killswitch
Not sure how that would work, I can have 2 users using the same wireless card, one with a VPN and one not? Sounds complicated I'm not like itching to download anything since I can find free streams so easily
You would have to set up a different routing table for the other user.
Actually, I found a better solution using network namespaces if you're on Linux. No second user account required.
Did you put the VPN credentials directly into the torrent client, and if so, which one? I've never had qbtorrent leak out the VPN for what that's worth. I know the desktop VPN clients will rugpull your connection at random.
I just ran the software and qbtorrent by default doesn't exit when you close so it was still running after I closed the vpn
Qbtorrent let's you put the proxy info directly into the settings, it's safer that way.

Claims its garbage
I mean, fuck paying for things, sure. But please don't shit where you eat.
I'd still describe a garbage app run by a garbage company with decent shows as garbage, personally
“So you’re gonna need to write an app to stream encrypted 4K HDR video and it has to run smoothly on the $100 smart TVs that are sold at a loss despite having the cheapest parts available. But also we’re going to be deployed to hundreds of different platforms and embedded systems as well as mobile and desktop, so you’re probably gonna wanna write it in Electron or something”
If I get it for free, I will watch it with dates that want to. But I would never pay for it or watch it on my own.

Won't catch me with any clanky interface. My torrents are beautiful. Better interface than Netflix. I value my beautiful personal streaming server.
Did Netflix make this meme?
Corporate propaganda? On my hexbear?
I did this with my gf. Fortunately she was curious and I taught her how to torrent lol
the :zizek-preference: take is that scarcity is the part of the thing that we actually enjoy.
Piracy technology in the future will be such a cheat code that she will say let's watch blank and you'll respond I already have blank. If it was any good we'd be watching it already trust me.
I feel pretty confident in saying that if she says "let's watch blank" 99% of guys will put on blank since the whole point of watching something on a date is to fool around while it's playing.
:volcel-judge: You finish watching the movie first. That's the law.
I agree wholeheartedly, except if the movie sucks or if they say otherwise :bottom-speak:
literally me but im the woman here I don’t know what torrents are i just go to website for things and pirate that way
