Dumb headline:

  • premium ad free didnae exist in cable
  • Greedy bastards in Hollywood got greedier: The method of delivery is not the reason, just the excuse.
  • The fact that some of us let all these media companies create their own service and demand the streaming infra pricetags is part of the problem. If Americans refused to jump ship for Friends and Marvel and whatever else, we might actually just have Hulu and Netflix and the infra costs would be be lower. Instead people flocked to greedy Dickney et al and got screwed in the process. This is not an attempt to claim Netflix or Hulu wouldnae have triez to raise rates, just to point  out that their argument to do so would have been harder.

    Open their git repo, find the commit where the version number was assigned, checkout the repo, build the the package per relevant instructions in the checked out readme, repeat the aforementioned steps as necessary to build any dependencies if necessary, rebuild the package after you've addressed all of the dependency issues, smile a smile of self satisfaction, avoid updates.
