Keep doing it. Especially niche titles.

You think I can find tv shows like greg the bunny, or clerks the animated series? And then TV shows start retroactively saying whats ok to show and whats not. Then pulling the episodes from streaming.

Or maybe the rights run out, and no other streaming picks it up.

Found a small part of the problem.

Physical media is dying because the majority of people think just as short sighted as businesses do. Businesses think in short term thoughts like quarters. They do so because investers want immediate return.

But why would you as a person not want physical media??? I literally bought a George Carlin dvd of one of his HBO specials 2 days ago. It was traded into a local resale shop as “used”. It was brand new, because even though the plastic wrap was gone, the adhesive label at the top was still unbroken. Brand new dvd. $3.

When was the last time you walked into any store and bought a feature length film or tv show on hard drive or SSD?

Well not ANYMORE!!! Not since Best Buy stopped carrying physical media!!!

He doesn’t affect me at all. I heard of him once about 5 years ago…and then I forgot he existed until this development.

trump doesn’t affect me either…but he’s shoved into my face every minute of every day. And there’s no stopping it. Even if some nutjob killed him, he would STILL be in the news about why he was killed. Nobody talks about Lyndon Johnson, but everybody talks about JFK. Nobody talks about Andrew Johnson, but everybody remembers Lincoln.

Point is, there is no escaping it. At least with dr disrespect, you can just move on from that ONE post, and your day will be free of him for the rest of your day. Not so with trump.

I don’t care about trump at all…imagine how I’ve felt the last 10 years.

DAMN! Did everybody else hear that mic drop too???

My IP address is…192.168.1.1

Oh, Windows 10? I wouldn’t know…

Not that I understand linux. I’m actually using an older computer. That’s right…Windows 3.1 baybee! Have you guys heard of this program called…MSPaint??? I can draw a cow!

…betamax as a giant? They entered a format war, and died in their first few years of existance.

The others I get. Kodak was around almost 100 years, blockbuster nearly 40, both at one time the dominant leaders of their industries. Both fell to failing to adapt to change.

But betamax? It came out around the same time as vhs, and vhs was cheaper.

Same with 8-tracks and cassettes.

Ah yes, the dying media will be saved by the currency that doesn’t have widespread support.

This is linux style thinking. The whole “I see the advantage of this way, and maybe it even is a more efficient way of doing things, but without widespread support I’ll continue to be baffled by why others don’t see the world the way I do”.

Life is stupid. What are we even DOING here???

Is this whole thing FOSS, and using ActivityPub?

…there’s no website I can go to? It’s app only?

Well, now I understand why Geoffrey didn’t want to grow up. Now he’s not a Toys R Us kid…he’s a corporate schill adult giraffe.

When I was a teenager, we put vodka into the shamrock shake mix, because “it wasn’t irish enough”.

Big hit with the local teens who frequented our mall McDonalds. How we got away with no criminal charges, now that I’m thinking about it 20+ years later, I have NO idea. I was 16 at the time. I think even the shift leader was only 19. And no matter what age we were, we were still knowingly selling alcoholic drinks to minors.

The only one I ever made up an excuse for, is when this mom wanted a shake for her 7 year old. THAT one I was like “Uhhhhhh, ya know what? Our shake machine is actually broken…yep…ignore the employees behind me serving shakes from it right now.”

She started yelling at me for discriminating against her, and being a lazy employee. Alright. Cool. I’ll take that heat. Because even I wouldn’t serve vodka to a 1st grader. As terrible of a teenager as I was, I guess I still had some limits.

…what? I thought they went out of business years ago?

When I saw this in my notifications, without context I thought you were replying to my comment about 18 foot tall ants in the Jurassic period building stonehedge.

The antenna type doesn’t matter. If you don’t have a 1940s antenna, technically you can use a paperclip. It may not be strong enough to recieve the channel depending on local interference, but it might pick up the station with a strong enough signal. And anyone still using a tv with a tuner made before 2005 already has a tunerbox. Back in 2010 my dad even got one for free from the government.

Tivo never died. They’re still alive. I got mine in 2012. I estimated it takes 3 1/3rd years for it to become worth it to do lifetime service.

That was 12 years ago. Although I did have to spend $100 on a new hard drive.

I think its more indictive of his age.

I can’t foresee a plausible set of events Biden would be in court, but if he were, I could imagine him falling asleep, and farting. Thats just called being old. It’s the reason I don’t think people 80+ should be allowed to drive.

You don’t need a cable subscription to watch NBC. Just a regular old bunny ears antenna. You could even use one from the 1940s if you want!

I know not many do, but I even have a lifetime paid subscription to TIVO. So I can just record things whenever, and watch them whenever, without the ads. I never watch live tv…but I watch tv that was recorded as it was live.
