each of these has been going on for many years at this point. dvd rootkits were at its peak in the late 00s, and installing games from their physical media to play them has been around since your home micro started having a hard drive
and the disk-as-a-dongle thing has also been around for an extremely long time

DVDs and BDs are region locked. Consoles use special optical disks that are Not Quite like regular DVDs and BDs to the point where they aren’t interoperable. your DVD PC games come with rootkits.
At the same time optical media has become both too size limited and slow to run games directly off of them. requiring installations to the internal hard disk at which point it becomes a physical hardware dongle and allowing you to skip (parts of the) download.

this isn’t really a novel concept in any way btw
and the copyright lobby is also artificially inflating the prices of anything that could be used to copy media with legislation that charges a flat fee for every writeable storage medium, any device that can copy or print, etc

the lack of digital customer protections is also fucking up physical media
no digital customer protections means that there’s activation limits on your software
no digital customer protections means your drive model is no longer able to play new disks
no digital customer protections means an update rendered being able to play any disk inoperable
no digital customer protections means that your secondhand game causes your console to get online banned
no digital customer protections means that not only are you prevented from making copies of your digital media, it can even land you in jail

honestly most arguments against digital media are just misdirected complaints against lack of digital customer protection or complaints about states not getting their shit together building out infrastructure

every time someone says “that means a lot” all i can think of is that joke where it’s like “Does anyone have anything to say?” at a funeral and someone says “plethora” to which another responds “thank you, that means a lot”

rejection sensitive dysphoria is one kind of dysphoria that can’t be helped with transitioning but the patient may still feel better afterwards

@schratze sorry his “20-year mistake” https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-mark-zuckerberg-facebook-regrets-unapolgetic-era-2024-9
One of the things that I look back on and regret is I think we accepted other people’s view of some of the things that they were asserting that we were doing wrong, or were responsible for, that I don’t actually think we were,
he didn’t name specific apologies he has issued and regretted but pretty much everything he has apologized for facebook did have a hand in

the problem with fedi is that every tiny instance now has an emperor ruling over their single digit number of serfs that aren’t treated like trolls and blocked and ignored due to the sheer profoundness of their bullshit moderation demands
