I’ll take “winwing not charging $300 for what’s realistically half the quality of VKB” over trying to land a real plane… and I own a PA28.

Y’know the French did this “publicly execute the rich” thing before. Worked out pretty great for them… maybe we should learn a thing or two.

Y’know most of us audiophiles are managing actual libraries… but they’re not mp3. Mines mostly flac.

The only books I have physical copies of are for ttrpgs. And even then I have a digital copy.

Most Blu-ray’s now come with digital files. You can upload these to a server like Plex (this requires you to setup a Plex server which I don’t expect the average consumer to be capable of, but uploading it to a MacBook or whatever is basically enough) to digitise your collection. Now you still own the physical media, and have a digital version of it as well.

And this is completely legal.

You could also skip the buying the physical Blu-ray part. But that is less than legal (but you’re unlikely to get caught… just saying, yar har)

Lemmy is not full of tankies, yours truly a communist.

And your post was free market romanticism.

As the owner of a Victoria Arduino E1… it is not smart. They tried. My DE1XL was the better machine, for $2,000 less.

Also, pretty sure it’s illegal in California to under CCPA, but there they could just turn off the lights. Which is why CCPA needs change in functionality clauses.

Anti-capitalist ≠ tankie

In fact Communist ≠ tankie

Tankies are specifically defenders of Marxist-Leninist communism and their one party state rule (which is ironically not communism, it’s Stalinism which is a form of autocratic socialism)

No they permanently lost claim to “fighting the good fight” when they literally bundled their software with malware.

But your S23 Ultra also uses the most common cable type for a charger. That isn’t proprietary. That you likely already have a good several of.

As a resident gen z… I’m right there with ya bud.

Moral objectivism is pretty much the argument that inevitably always ends with an authoritarian regime to “eliminate” the “unethical” people from society. Germany first, and all that.

See but you’re assuming that we agree to your axiomatic premise that there is no moral difference between the two.

We reject your premise. Prove there’s no difference.

More than half of America lives paycheck to paycheck. Vegan options are more expensive. Until you fix the economic crisis and solve poverty you really can’t enforce veganism.

This isn’t even getting into the fact that vegan options are literally nonexistent in many places.

Oh but you don’t care about that because you only care about veganism because it allows you to feel morally superior to others.

“Carnism” that’s the difference between vegans and non-vegans.

Only vegans view their diet as a lifestyle and shit on everyone else who isn’t vegan. We’re not “carnists” we don’t give a fuck really except that we hate vegans. Why? Because you lot are the pushiest, most openly judgemental, arrogant pieces of shit to walk the earth.

“have a little priest.”

You think the US cares about that? Europeans still have to defacto prove they aren’t Americans or they get taxed American taxes by their European banks.

The US does not and has not ever cared about international borders unless they benefit the US.

I hate Islam. I’m not racist.

I also hate any religion that states unequivocally in their holy book that certain classes of people are less than others… which is a core tenet of Islamic and Christian beliefs.

I couldn’t actually tell you if it’s in the Tanakh, but it very well wouldn’t surprise me.

Any positive experience and interaction I have with a Muslim is in spite of their beliefs and their religion being a bit backwards in places.

Edit: I also hate any religion that preaches that people are inherently evil or unworthy of salvation… that shit is toxic af.

I personally criticise all religions in which the deity is purported to be omnipotent and omnibenevolent. Because those two things are directly opposed to each other for a deity in our world.
