This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I want to watch Dark Matter without a million popups, malware or shady "trust me bro" programs.

FMHY (Free Media Heck Yeah) has a pretty solid guide for beginners on how to find most forms of media safely.

ad blockers are as easy as searching ublock in firefox addon stores. Nowadays one does not need anything out of browser to stream content (except perhaps a vpn), so most likely your_favorite_show.exe(/apk) is malware. But even if it is legit but potentially contains malware you can always use a vm/android emulator (vm actually) depending on the software type.

Going to have to pirate it or pay for ad free.

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

oh sorry, I thought this was the piracy community. my question would have suggested that I wanted to learn how to do it, if I was there.

Oh, You want to use Firefox with ublock origin and a few other privacy add-ons if your not already, then just find a shady streaming site form the FMHY link that doesn't sketch you out too much. Your going to have to browse a few until you find one that's cozy and has what you want. You may also want a paid VPN for privacy if your worried, but I haven't heard of any one getting in shit for streaming and its very rare for torrenting.

I thought you were having a laugh.

r/piracy is still the best piracy community. Unfortunately there is no match in lemmy.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, not that one can see from lemmy.world anyway, since they block piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com. But for everyone else on lemmy feel free to stop by!

[–] serenissi@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

shit, time to make an alt.

Kodi + Fen Light plugin + Alldebrid + Trakt account. This setup is the easiest for people who don’t want to torrent or setup a NAS. It’s basically a pirated streaming service with the highest quality of streams. Alldebrid is a paid for service though but it is super cheap.
