No DRM on my machine. You must be holding it wrong?

I'm not interested in dragging my eyelids over whatever esoteric setup notorious Apple shittalker bigyabai uses to feel haughty when dispensing cherry-picked bullshit on HN. Move on.

That must suck. I have no reservations challenging unqualified ideologues over their selfish platitudes, you should try it sometime.
Have fun defending DRM requirements, and thank you for subsidizing my 4k Netflix torrents!

If you review what I've said above, I think you'll be hard pressed to make an argument that I'm actually defending DRM. Instead, I think you saw someone say something not negative about Apple and that activated your own "unqualified ideologue", causing you to jump into the conversation with some blithe Steve Jobs quote. Nobody gives a shit that you can run arch or gentoo or whatever, and configure it just so to get around Netflix's DRM. Superfluous details, not germane to the conversation.

I don't watch or pay for Netflix lol

But I don't configure anything, that's my point. DRM is entirely unnecessary to watch high-resolution Netflix, or really any online media. Nobody needs Widevine, DRM is an anti-feature if you value freedom.
You really are "holding it wrong" if you pay for Netflix and expect FAANG to defend your user freedoms. On iOS, iPadOS and macOS you get a superior experience watching the torrented version every time. This is also the case on Windows and Android, before you cram a stick in my spokes.
