    Netflix is delightfully competent.

      @mastertdi Netflix is disappointingly anti-Linux. :(

        @scribus The worst part is it's because Netflix uses Silverlight instead of a competent, non proprietary format.

        @scribus Can you not do some unholy magic with Moonlight and Mono?

            @scribus Apparently you can get away with a modern version of chrome and tampering your user agent to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2114.2 Safari/537.36
            (you need a recent version of libnss3)

              @cinnamonswirl Hmm. Well, at any rate, I cancelled NetFlix when they said my ancient 2 DVDs a month plan was going to lose streaming (also I hadn't used it in a year, anyway).

            @scribus You can install the "pipelight" plugin which is a plugin that sets up a wine-environment in the browser and starts silverlight, or you try using a HTML5 workaround http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/08/netflix-linux-html5-support-plugins
