Recommended something to a co-worker yesterday
(sh.itjust.works)
Just give them a usb of the show for Christ's sake! Sneaker net that shit. Which show btw?
I tried that once. They never watched the show and didn't give back the USB. 🙁
USBs nowadays are a dime a dozen basically for 16GB sticks
They can literally be bought in 10 packs for less than $30.
If they don't give one back nowadays so be it.
Back in the day it was a terrible loss though
I wonder if you applied inflation from the time that idiom was first popularized what the modern price would be.

Welcome to Wrexham.
Not the kind of guy who'd watch something from a USB. Technically not a co-worker but a former co-worker, because he retired a couple of years ago.
I did this for a coworker not too long ago.
I think it was for Firefly....
They gave the USB drive back too. Win-win

On the free meadows of the internet,
where the gentle breeze touches all equally,
where the people are friends,
and the money is spent on FOSS devs & smol gaming studios.

If someone is unaware of piracy: Tell them.
If someone is aware of piracy and doesn't care: "I don't really know, I just got it off of a torrent site."
If someone is aware of piracy and cares too much for a company they don't work for: You can ignore them.
Do you know of any easily shareable beginner's guides?
I love turning friends onto free media, but I don't always want to walk them through it.
Not really beginner friendly because it doesn't teach you much but the site has a nice list of resources that goes even boyond piracy: https://fmhy.net/beginners-guide

Great, now I'll never not notice how many brand names are baby sounds
It used to be on ploob, but season 3 is only on nimbo now.
I just honestly answer that I don't know.
If you can't proudly say your pirating sure you need to find a new friend group
Well they said "co-worker", I can understand not divulging that in a workplace.
Eh fuck it, what are they going to do, call the FBI on me? Employer certainly doesn't care.
Highly dependent on workplace. Many with govt contracts could feel an obligation to punish this.
My employer is the government

I've never worked an office job that wasn't pirating software openly and somewhat proudly when pointed out

I just respond with a hearty "yeeearghhhh!" and continue the conversation. The coworkers that know get it, the rest think I'm a lunatic.
I borrowed it from an acquaintance on Internet :D
Fell off this passing truck that was carrying shows and movies!
"Oh, I download it from well known and respected torrent sites. All the services I might use are crap."
Depends on how cool they are

I get this almost daily, my whole family and several friends know I'm good at recommending things to them so they always go to me to ask what to watch. I've had to start looking up and writing down where each movie and show is available "normally". I have no issue saying I get everything via other means but whem it became a thing where people started asking "can you also look up where it's available" just because it's not always easy to figure that out and they knew I didn't know and generally find it quicker than them.
It's more difficult in Europe. For example, when South Park: Post Covid released on Paramount+ in the US, there was no legal way to steam it in Germany or Austria AFAIR. And these are not exactly third-world countries.
