Enjoyable is subjective. White Lotus was terrible in my opinion.

Not sure why you are arguing? People have stated that's the reason they have quit, and yet you are somehow suggesting that we are wrong? Or because another service does it?

Accept that some people are tired and bored of having unrealistic plots and characters that are only there to "tick boxes".

But sure, recasting the queen of England as a black woman is obviously fine.

Let's do a series on MLK and get a balding white guy to play him, or perhaps an Asian person?

In the children sitcom 'No good Nick' a female chef ignores feedback from her employee by accusing him of 'mansplaining'. The daughter accuses the white dad of 'cultural approriation' when he suggests taco Tuesday for the restaurant. And that was only the first minutes of one episode.

I cancelled, after being a member for 10 years. Three of my friends have gone back to torrents.

The main reason... Almost everything has some fringe minority edge, a gay lead, a token trans friend and most of the stuff is "victim porn" with the usual white male protagonist.

100% reason why I cancelled and the same for my friends.

Netflix, or Wokeflix is basically trash.

So you need a third party tool to make an official device work properly?

The latest stable one, except Mac's because they aren't reliable *nix machines anymore. Bash is a third class citizen on MacOS now.

I'm guessing the UK. And I agree.

Yo do realise that they'll increase the prices slowly so the price you pay for ad-free now will become ad-supported. You'll definitely be paying more than you are now to keep no ads.

Hunter Bidens laptop was fact checked by various outlets but we found out later that was a lie. Who owns the fact checkers?

Literally any project management tool. MS Project for example.

You wouldn't run or develop code locally. AWS keys would be secrets managed by Vault or something.

If you have AWS keys on staff laptops at home, you've already failed.

We don't allow any code at all on local machines.

Wouldn't ever happen. We don't even have to have video calls enabled. Those fancy background effects are basically server-side. I don't want MS or Facebook analysing the background of my calls for marketing purposes because my employer decided to use Teams.

I wouldn't be surprised if video calls were made entirely optional EU wide for data protection.

No way I'm wearing any form of VR kit to attend a meeting. Zero.
