Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    What's the catch? A free app on the play store that has acceess to all premium Netflix or Amazon content would be banned directly into purgatory.

    The app doesn’t have access to any of that, it can show you where you can legally access it

    But if you run 3rd party plugins then you can access some illegal content

    I don’t really see the point of it vs traditional piracy

    People still want the streaming service experience of scrolling for 30 minutes before giving up and watching something they've already seen.

    i still do that when scrolling-through directories of 'saved' content.

    Using a torrent plugin without a debrid service has the usual torrenting issues. In some countries torrents are monitored by copyright holders, so in NA getting letters from the ISP for copyright infringement is an issue. In Germany torrentio is a great way to receive a few hundres to thousands euro fine.

    By using a debrid service it's a pretty good experience (if your watching in english, as other languages are often not well represented on public trackers).
