Here’s the deal. I personally think the the Linux is an Awesome operating system and I find it to be the most secure in the world However, Linux does not support Netflix at the moment. the Awesome ids that my team is always looking to expand and become better and working with Linux is something that we are looking into.

I want to use your account details and send off to my engineering team so they can know that this is something you are interested in seeing. As Netflix is big on feedback and your words will go a long way.

I would never have bothered signing up had I known. Instead of looking into using decent servers why not inform prospective users of the problem.

So how do I cancel?

You can bet I will be checking my monthly bank details too. I had prospective employers (Morrison’s Supermarkets) take advantage of my bank details (required on the application form so they can process my wages) to diddle me out of a few quid every week. This was supposed to be the sub their agency takes from the temporary staff for finding us for the evil overlords at the top of the rather nasty tree.
 
Why does the legal requirement to work zero hours allow these creatures of the gutter to rob the people least able to afford it?

  1. On Linux, Netflix does work on Chrome, but [i]only[/i] on Chrome. I really wish it worked on Vivaldi, I’d like to replace Chrome, I didn’t want to have to use it in the first place.

  4. This is the first time I have noticed that someone has commented on one of my blogs. I had got used to being ignored. Sorry about all aspects of my ignorance.

    I have stopped watching films these days, since the great shaming of Hollywood I lost my taste for them. Netflix especially now that the crooks have clustered on it.
    I just look up films that I want to see on “Fmovies”. I get offered a variety of stuff most of which is depressing like reading a Rupert Murdoch rag or watching Fake News.

    There are still occasional good ones that I can use to detox all the political stuff with a mind-wipe. Its what your left hand is for.
    Good luck to you all.
    Mike.
