    Why pay corporate scum when you can not :| sorry not sorry people in the entertainment industry. You should negotiate better union terms.

      Yes, it really does come to morals.

      Like, would I really feel ok supporting an industry like that? With their shitty wages, horrible copyright practices, just evil corporate practices (nepotism, extortion, sexism, etc) - not exclusive to entertaining industry, but I can def chose not to support & fuel the suffering.

      I want & do pay for small studio projects, FOSS initiatives, etc.
      Let's normalise that so that such support may grow and change the world.

      Long live there *arr services & their contribution to worlds culture & humanity through equality/comradeship.

        Yep, supporting artists and not parasitic corporations is always preferable. Unfortunately, said parasitic conglomerates try to get their greedy piggy tendrils into everything they can

          Yeah, it's really hard and often impossible to support the artists that you want.

          A good movie, but most of the people involved made fixed wages (no sales) whilst 90+% of the protis goes to the studio and the lead actor and director (+ credited people that never even saw the project, but you know, money favours)?
          Yeah, your money vote does not go to what you want to support/sponsor.

          A publisher is selling a game that it got by buying a studio & getting rid of the devs? What's their added value? That's just capital yields, like landlording.

    I've been aware of Radarr and Sonarr and such for some time, but thanks to this meme, I get why they end with "arr" now. Thanks!

      .world pre-emptively blocked them (twice) because they're nerds they're hosted in the EU and they thought they'd get in trouble by association for being federated with instances that promotes discussion of something illegal in their physical server's jurisdiction. They had a lot of traffic. The db0 comm is still alive.
