Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Debrid-link* + Stremio
*or any other debrid service (Real-Debrid shut down)
Wait what, when did they shut down?
I'm still using them afik
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.

No "Dogma". No one has ever streamed Dogma.
Would you like to see a film? It's $60 to enter the movie theater. A chair to sit in is $10. You wanted to see the film? You need the glasses to unscramble the screen image. $40. Audio? That's for due paying subscribers $4.99/mo. You want to exit the theater? $120. In case of fire? Cleaning up your ashes generates a $200 fee.
I think you missed a 1 in front of that 9
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?
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.

iTunes, Amazon Prime or Youtube 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.
Sail out on the grand line for that movie.
Mullvad, iVPN and protonVPN all make good...ships, to sail with
