It’s actually an app I already found and am using, I agree, it’s a really helpful app to be able to have for deals on latest Movies and Shows (as well as other Apple software stuff).

Yeah it’s just not worth paying the same price for a worse version just to own and store it.

You can watch your purchased movies and shows from the library section.

Yeah I feel pretty much the same way, the hurdles I have to go through to watch Physical media, but the price of streaming services are going up and I rather just watch the Shows and Movies that I want to watch, even if it’s the 17th time this month.

My main issue is all the Marvel TV Shows aren’t released on Apple TV or anything other than Disney+, I hope that changes in the future as I would love to purchase them instead of Disney trying to force me into purchasing Disney+, It’s just easier and cheaper to find it online even know I like to pay the creators of a show / movie.

Hey so I tried using Plex for a server, and sure it’s amazing and works but running a PC 24/7 is very costly and like you mentioned the Hard Drives do cost quite a bit. I also don’t have much space to store hundreds of TV Shows and Movies sadly. The reason I want to go Digital is due to space as well as giving myself the possibility of travelling with all my Tech without having to leave servers and stuff online at home.

Sure paying the same price as a TV Show or Movie in Physical is annoying but from what I have seen through Apple is there Movies that are 4k are actually still in the normal bluray price, if that. I can see what you mean about the Funimation & Crunchyroll stuff TBH knowing they are merging and they aren’t supporting peoples purchase is a dick move TBH. The only other option I have is probably piracy or streaming services (I don’t like streaming services), I like to get money to the creators of the film / show as much as possible and I feel this might be one of the only ways than buying random merch that I won’t like / use.

Thanks for the thoughts though as I will have to make a plan for if companies pull there content from Apple, hopefully Apple has made a plan to support those purchases in some sort of way or something, Maybe there’s a place to look at that information.

@bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com From my research Apple has the best quality for Shows and Movies especially for price. The Apple TV app can be accessed on my Chromecast and I am seemly getting to the point Apple is my go to platform for work, so will most likely not be moving away from Apple anytime soon.

Kbin / Mbin actually fixed this by allowing if a Community isn’t managed for 3 months by mods then it will be available for people to claim to admin. This allows people to keep the Community going and hopefully blow some life into it.

I’d get to sell my PlayStation & Xbox Inventories to purchase more games on Steam <3

I’m guessing this is because of more sales of the Steam Deck, haven’t got myself one yet but I’d love to as everyone that has gotten ones has said it’s worth the money as well as is a great way to get through your games on the go.

On my end there’s no link and it’s a nude.

WTF is the image for this news? It doesn’t even link to an article

@spaduf@slrpnk.net That’s really nice, I actually use Obsidian myself for note taking and I can say that I will never go back to normal note taking software. The internet and software needs to change to be for the user, for if the software doesn’t exist in the future. We never know if a service will go but we shouldn’t loose everything.

@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com Glad you’re having fun with Mbin, I know I recently moved across to Mbin on Kbin.run as of the bug fixes and stuff. Sadly don’t know how to create my own instance as would love to create it on a sub-domain of the website I run for business as I’m sure connecting to the Fediverse from my own instance would be really cool and would help me control what I see, so much more also would make it easier when it comes to getting Family and Friends Involved.

@Cloudkid@lemmus.org This is where hosting your own instance is better as even things on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter won’t last forever as it only really stays till they can’t be bothered to keep the older stuff no one looks at intact, The only way to make sure things stay is by hosting it yourself and I really do hope it gets easier over time to host your own Fediverse Instance.
