@arstechnica for as long as the platform lasts, my movies-on-disc choice continues to be the library. Not because I can't afford a digital copy that may just suddenly stop working, but because I love libraries and hate giving more money to expensive streaming megacorps who actively hate me.
@arstechnica I had to check the date on this post.
Twice.
Are you sure you don't mean blurays or something at least? People seem to be so silly about resolution even in things that don't need it (I, for one, care more about the quality of the story than about whether I can see how open the actor's pores are that day) that it's hard to imagine most of them watching 480i all that much these days.

Too bad a biochemical method doesn't exist to directly capture carbon dioxide from ambient air into a solid form.
It's not like Rubisco is the most abundant enzyme in existence or anything. Why not give a dying industry billions to continue their activities instead of actually solving the problem?
@arstechnica To be clear, it is impossible for carbon capture to ever reach a sufficient level. It is an excellent tool, but it must be coupled with other solutions as well. We need a multi-pronged approach. Reduce emissions and waste, capture what we can, use alternatives where we can, etc etc. If we do all this stuff together, carbon capture becomes an incredible tool to help support the other solutions. But it can't replace the others.
@arstechnica One wonders why we even report on such things anymore. (/s) Republicans only like something if it makes life more difficult or impossible for minorities.
@arstechnica I seriously can't see how people can't see that calls for privatizing things with no limits won't result in, well, no limits. In such a system it's not lowest bid wins, it's everyone finds the absolute highest bid they can get away with and then just focus on marketing to convince people their way overpriced service is better than the other way overpriced service. Marketing works a lot better than pricing for competition it seems because that's just how humans are.
@rbreich nearly no unemployment benefit, just 11 holidays average, just 36% in healthcare, ..., - how lucky we europeans are! from our perspective, US workers appear to be slaves for the rich😲
Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an 'open source' sticker on it.
Their version 128 update has auto checked a new little privacy breach setting.
If you still use a corporate browser, at least do some safety version! We mainly use @librewolf based on firefox. (yes, we know, a stable european or even non-US browser is still considered 'futuristic' in europe)
@arstechnica Imagine considering a vendor, like a phone company, that has been known to sue and call for criminal prosecution of customers who decided to stop using the service.

Yeh. If fashion magazines didn't already make it hard enough for women.
Time to end the #Patriachy and women can feel valued for more than their appearance.
