Welcome to /c/piracy
No netflix or streaming services landlubbers allowed, this is pirates territory.
Videos don’t contain malware because videos aren’t software.
It’s theoretically possible that a video will take advantage of a security flaw in a video player, including a browser video player, but I’m not aware of such cases having occurred. As long as you keep your software up to date, it’s probably not worth worrying about.
It's open source check for yourself
That's not what OP is asking.
And they can check the source code himself and if they don't like what they see they can move on.
wtf yo, not everyone's a nerdy programmer like you.
As someone who knows sweet fuck all about programming but has been cruising the internet since dail up as well as pirating stuff long before most users here were even a glimmer of hope in their daddy's testicles, this "just fucking read the code you idiot" mentality is just how it is here...and they wonder why the rest of the world won't join them. Assholery in a tech sense is Lemmy.
Its not even about that. The sites they serve the videos from are not on that repo.
Fine. Live in ignorance if you find being less intelligent something to be proud of
I have a mental block when it comes to learning programming. Been wishing to learn it since ages, but even with a teacher, I just couldn't progress far.
The link is helpful, the “check for yourself” is not.
Clearly OP is in the beginner camp and just learn computer science and then a programming language is orders of magnitude harder than the yes/no responses they are expecting here.
