No “Dogma”. No one has ever streamed Dogma.

i have seen this meme the third time the last few days and i’m always like: rent where?
i don’t get it. does it mean, the movie isn’t available within the services subscription, but costs additional money or does it mean it’s not even in any service and you rent it somewhere else?
AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 4 days ago
On some services like Amazon Prime you can rent a movie for 24h (or something like that)
You can also “buy” movies, but I’ve seen so many times that they take away the movie that you “bought” and you don’t get a refund.

You can also rent on YouTube, and even buy there, so you can always access your cherished movies in reliable and enduring Google Services.

iTunes or Amazon Prime has movies to buy and rent. Lots of newer movies take a long time to appear on streaming if at all. I rent quite a lot on iTunes. It’s a fiver and no hassle. Some are a bit special, like Nosferatu costs 16 just to rent it, yeah no I’ll wait.
Also buying on iTunes has been worth it for me as they will give you higher quality versions later on without additional cost. Way back I got Home Alone for free in the advent calendar in SD and now I can watch the same in 4K.
Downside of course is you don’t really own anything.

Having no blue ray player and a desperate desire to anything studio ghibli ruined me. Thank god hbo picked it up but now I’m desensitized and relieved when the things I want to watch appear on amazon or apple TV.

I picked up a Blu Ray player not all that long ago, and even there selection is kind of surprisingly limited.

You’d be less depressed if you got some sea air into.

Do you not have a PS3? Or a PS4? Or a PS5? Or a PS6?
Wait, are you a time traveler?

The average US household spent over $500/yr on streaming services in 2024, which was actually down YOY!
At that sort of expense, you would be much better served buying (or if you’re technically minded - building) a NAS at home and then just…
… yaaar! 🏴☠️
That way, you keep access to the media without having to worry about licenses expiring or the internet going out.

You pay to watch stuff? Why?
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days ago
I like the cinema and it’s £5 and you can take your own munchies.
LordWiggle@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Ik have a beamer and an automated download system on my NAS. I have my own cinema but with a comfy couch, I can pause when I need a new drink or for a toilet break, watch anything I want and I have my own snacks too. Plus, 3 kitties fighting for my lap.
A fiver is a good deal though, cinema over here is expensive. €20 for a ticket. Snacks and drinks are also expensive AF.

I have Netflix, Prime & Hulu. I’m ready to drop all 3 but my wife enjoys some of their trash. I’m tolerating it, for now.

All you did with this post was show everyone you’re an idiot, and you not realising that before posting just increases the level of stupidity. And we’re not lemmy, a place where almost everyone is more tech literate than most and generally less dumb too, yet here you are. It’s a miracle how you managed to get here and figure out instances etc.

Are you young and have no assets? Because managing risk is an adult thing to do. I used to pirate, but decided the risks outweigh the rewards for me at this time. I might again someday, but not today.

Some people have less free time than you do and the convenience is worth it to them.

Wait what, when did they shut down?
I’m still using them afik
SeekPie@lemm.ee 4 days ago
Just looked into it a bit more, turns out, they’re still working, but:
RD received a formal notice from the National Federation of Film Publishers (probably law suit) so RD has to comply and strengthen anti piracy measures.
That started with the deactivation of the API endpoint /instantavailability which is what 3rd party app add ons like torrentio and Fen Lite/Cocoscrapers used to scrape streamable cached links (I think)
The notice also included a blocking of torrents and purge of the cache of specific media, we don’t know the full extent of this yet but it seems many links are already being blocked
The reason torrentio is working with RD again is because the torrentio dev built a workaround so that it will still use RD to pull links we just aren’t able to see if they are cached or not, I do not know if this is a permanent fix but as far as I can tell, things will continually get worse for RD, not better.
If someone more knowledgeable wants to chime in and let me know if/where I’m wrong with any of this I’d appreciate it.

Can you elaborate or redirect to further investigate how this could be used?
SeekPie@lemm.ee 4 days ago
Seems like this explain it pretty well, though Stremio has basically an app for every device, not only the firestick:
