The newspaper provides much needed roughage and essential inks

a gram of coke in a kilo of flour is a kilo of coke

my heart goes out to them

such popular films as … “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,”

You what now?

an estimated loss

these people would be downloading cams not buying full price, over priced, blue rays.

Studios could release everything for free after a theatrical run in 1080p and still sell exactly the same amount of physical media.

it’s a collectors market now. I downloaded Dune and Dune part 2 and still went out and bought the steel books.

we ran out of IPv4 addresses quite some time ago. the likelihood of being on a carrier grade NAT is pretty high.

and if you’re lucky enough to have access a direct IPv4 address (also a premium feature and priced as such) your ISP can still be blocking certain ports.

and on top of all that what @DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com said

All they ever needed to do was sue them, who knew.

Care to suggest a better term?

Written confession?

it’s a joke my guy.

I’ll get around to reading your novel eventually but keep in mind that they always catch the guy with a manifesto.

Keep yourself safe and never write a manifesto.

Sounds like you need to back that thing up asap

cool

Thanks for reminding me to validate.

Daily here also.

Raid is a backup.

all sportsball is terrible but it’s a proven fact that safety equipment increases risk taking behaviour.

I was talking entirely about Deepseek.

I never would have bothered to check because someone already pointed out Signal is US based but that is very interesting.

so thank you.

I’ve heard it’s open source and you can run it offline

Public domain has nothing to do with consumption. You can go to your library right now and watch new movies for free.

I highly doubt you could find 200 good movies on any streaming services at this point.

and it all depends what you think good means doesn’t it, I enjoy objectively bad films like Laser Mission or The secret agent club

but of the roughly 800,000 movies ever released about 300,000 are on DVD, I’m sure you could find a couple of good titles in all that.

ironic you choose almost the exact number you could buy with the lowest tier of netflix

and that’s before multi disc sets and resale value.

and libraries not only lend movies but more than likely also have a streaming service too.

paying the mega corps for their slop is a choice.
