Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

yeah the world changes. nothing stays the same. what seemed like a good idea 5-10 years ago seems utterly stupid today. that's how life works, including business.
I mean, I get it, 1st world problem of mind inconvenience is a moral outrage. But I don't own two homes, I can't possible imagine how difficult and awful it must be to have to manage my netflix account across multiple properties...
oh wait, you could just create a vpn and network your two homes so they appear on the same network! wow... almost as if there is a solution to every problem.
I don't own two homes, what the fuck are you talking about?
My daughter moves back and forth between two homes, like a lot of kids do. You do understand that family situations can be complicated right?
Netflix's "solution" is to have a second account, but then if she watches something at my place and then at her mom's it would require signing in and out of Netflix constantly to have access to her personal profile. Netflix tying accounts to wifi networks is stupid and frankly you would fit right in there.
I don't work for netflix but I do understand a lot about tech and I do very well in my career, yeah.
Because I don't tolerate entitled requests from users who think their convenience is all that matters. They have to sign into the account everytime they they move locations because it's a necessary security precaustion and contractually obligated by our insurance.
but right, I'm a dummy and you know better. you know you can just setup your daughters phone with a netflix account and have her stream from the phone to any tv without having to re-auth right?
but hey sorry for trying to help you out, when clearly you didn't want a solution, you just wanted to be embittered at netflix because how dare you be inconvenienced.
You could just... no longer subscribe to them. but that would be even more inconvenient.
You are insufferable.
yeah i know.
I don't agree with the lemmy hive mind about how awful and terrible everything is because 1st world people are mildly inconvenienced and have to pay a few extra bucks for something that was artificially cheap 10 years ago.
you act like having 2 homes is a normal thing.
