"Piracy is a service issue.." (Image is a real story btw, link in post)
Image comes from the monstrous work the Asahi Linux team did to get Netflix working on Linux on ARM Macbooks: https://asahilinux.org/2024/01/fedora-asahi-new/

Common Linux L. As much as i hate Netflix, Linux bros as worse.
Such horrible people, fighting back against senseless DRM
Even on Windows, you only get full bitrate Netflix playback in the UWP Windows Store app.
Obvious bait.
For what it's worth.
Fair
Wow.
A bad take from a good person. I like your history so i want you to think about this...Don't get mad at or direct hate towards passionate people. The world needs them to make stuff for the rest of us schlubs who spread our attention thin. Besides, isn't some of that annoyance, just a little of that prickly feeling, jealousy?
I get the feeling you're expressing here, i do. I've felt it myself. I personally have wondered why, and done some self-reflection and considered maybe this is my answer. If it makes sense then maybe it is your answer too. Whatever you're reason for feeling this way, the next thing to ponder is is whether expressing this emotion to others has a practical use for them to hear, out for you to say.
This one is a feeling that is useless to everyone especially yourself.
it is one to recognize as a failing and to work on, not to express in a forum as an emotion to be proud of
Fair enough, I was too casual to judge a community based on the circlejerk. But my frustrations lie with the circlejerk that there is more on lemmy.
Just wanted to drop a comment to let you know I really appreciated reading all of your comment, as it was well written, diplomatic and direct, worthy of conversation. Well done.

why is this an L? Linux is fully capable of 4k playback. any Linux user (with a 4k screen) can go to YouTube and watch a 4k video in full quality. Linux support is there, the bandwidth is probably there, the hardware power is there (Asahi Linux is for Apple hardware), so the problem is either Netflix or DRM in general
One of the biggest ratios I've seen on this platform lmao, the people here love their Linux
The level of downvotes on this comment is absolutely wild, although unsurprising since the OP is about a W for Linux...
On the flipside at least we're not a certain other website that restricts user activity based on their internet points... so OC can still participate without their stuff being auto deleted by a bot
What's a ratio?
Massive downvote to upvote discrepancy on Lemmy would constitute “a ratio” / “getting ratioed“.
TIL.
Giving you the benefit of the doubt, how is this an 'L' for Linux?
Of course you're allowed to not like Linux enthusiasts; like any hardcore dedicated group, they can be intense and uncompromising... But that has nothing to do with this.
