Because Darktable is that kind of open-source app that’s designed in an incomprehensible way and is almost unusable. And, because anytime I can pirate from Adobe, I’m gonna do it 👍

I’m always curious why people do this. Music is the one item where it’s easier to just sub to something like Apple Music… literally $110/yr for all the music that exists. They gave us the solution we asked for and it’s super-cheap.

I pirate the shit out of movies and tv since those guys are gouging me, but musicians barely get by in the streaming era.

Hopefully this triggers nobody. I’m making no judgements.

I thought I wasn’t gonna give a shit about this, but it was quite enjoyable. Too bad, so sad! Looks like that guy’s discord is now well known for the wrong reasons…

Yeah, it’s SEO-style writing. A pox on humanity.

Oh got it. Were you using the built-in Samsung apps or something else, like a set top box?

Can you explain? How am I getting those? On which apps?

Can we have context? Are new Samsung TVs doing something with ads in their built-in apps?

Those are not for live sports right? They’re more premium direct download services?

It's just shitposting, he doesn't understand how VPNs work or that it's not hard at all to use them on Apple. He wants that sweet dopamine from the "me too" posts.

That's not what I asked. Read it again. I asked if my IPTV provider blocking VPNs from all major VPN companies and requiring their own config was normal for IPTV.

I'm not sure if you didn't know this or if you just ignored it to make your post seem factual, but all the major VPNs have iOS clients. Every single one. Less so on Apple TV, but that's only been allowed on tvOS since iOS17. And obviously, Mac has a billion VPNs.

What I took personally was the brigading on Apple that had nothing to do with understanding the technical issue. Niggas just want to shitpost, since that's what niggas do when they don't know shit. They see "Apple" and "iOS," and hey! Doesn't matter what the thread is about, let's just say shit about Apple. And that's boring as hell. Give real info, or if you don't know, don't post.

Last night, I made a "support ticket" in my provider's dashboard asking them point blank if they block commercial VPNs, and if they recommend me watching their streams in the clear. I also made this post lol, but nobody reads Lemmy, so that won't be it.

This morning, I woke up and every single PIA endpoint I tried in every country on all my devices worked perfectly. I can't explain that and I bet nobody here can explain it either, since nobody posting so far has any knowledge of how IPTV providers or IPTV tech works.

Just to say it again, thanks for showing me this sub is not for real. Not a good source of info, not a good community for sailing the seas, strictly for entertainment value. Unless the people who do know stuff happen to be on vacation.

Thanks! Do you know if all those are non-commercial TV? If I'm looking for certain commercial channels, how can I know?

That's not on the menu. The only question is if it's expected that I wouldn't be able to use a VPN with IPTV or if it's just these guys.
