Digital media means that there is an ongoing service behind it.

I could download my file and be done with it. If I throw away or damage my super fragile bluray I’m not entitled to a new copy. I don’t even need to be able to redownload (although it’s a nice service). It means there is an ongoing service behind it because they decide it and because they are afraid I will share with my friends - which is about as difficult as finding the media elsewhere online.

With no more cash coming in, the service goes bankrupt.

Same issue with physical media. Suddenly your expensive factory is idle, your employees don’t produce anything. We still get to buy movies and not rent them perpetually.

Why I don’t get is why they fight so hard to promote piracy though. It’s not enough that it’s free, it also has to be easier?

Nah. But attacking Jews who have no part in the genocide merely because they are Jews is.

Denmark. I bought something from the US. About 300 DKK. I had to pay for shipping. About 300 DKK. I had to pay the toll. I had to pay a mandatory 120 DKK fee for the postal service to charge the toll. I had to pay taxes on the fee. I had to pay taxes on the purchase. I had to pay taxes on the shipping.

In the end I paid about 1000 DKK for a 300 DKK package.

I too came to the comments to look that up. It means poor, apparently.

Lemmy.ml sucks. I really need to move on.

An Enermax keyboard has been my daily driver as a programmer for my career that started in 2007. It still works just fine and I still have no reason to change to something else. Lots of reasons not to, since I like the classic keyboard layout and the flat laptop keys.

Not sure if lemme.ee has the same ridiculous filter as lemmy.ms lemmy.ml or if some kind of slur starting with r was employed. I assume it’s the former, but I don’t think other instances have that filter on…

Oh, so it’s not that she is a fan who happens to be large.

It’s also not that she is very fanatic about countries.

It’s that she’s moderately fond of large nations!

But… Rot is life?

Oh, he’ll just change the unit test if it fails.

An AI tool was used to add an extra layer to the editing process for this story.

For crying out loud, stop that!

And OIL!

But then how will I avoid breaking rules in the future?

That won’t be an issue.

Could you give this drink to the person of unknown gender over there? Y’all seems to have finished y’all’s previous drink and we want to keep everyone happy!

I like how they did this in Farscape. Multiple times.

I don’t think Musk qualifies, being South African though.

singular they/them has been in use for literally centuries

Even if has been in use since forever, a more appropriate word can be introduced now.

When you have a great programmer working on your project he will be cycled to a new project in 2-3 months. Your new senior developer who silently takes over the project is part time because he’s working on finishing his education.

No one knows how anything works, except that one guy, who left the company half a year ago. That’s how all software development is.
