Amazon also lets you download music without DRM, and I know Apple did ten years ago before I dropped them. I don't think there's a single legal option for film, though. I think the person you're replying to is full of shit.
Closest thing? Last time I used their stuff, Apple let you download video you buy. It has DRM, though, so if they lose the license to it, it's pretty much moot anyway.
This new Boogeyman is funny. Everything people dislike is AI and no one knows what the hell AI is.
I still think back to the bad CG background characters Disney used that people were using as an example of the EViLs oF Ai.
The person starting all this fear mongering here even referenced past entries' lackluster writing, but still can't wrap their heads around how, in something with so much random, filler dialogue, something like that can get through.
Unless the woke mind virus, which is fundamentally anti-science, anti-merit, and anti-human in general, is stopped, civilisation will never become multi-planetary.
How can anyone hear him say that and not think he's totally deranged?
Eh, not always plausible. I got it to work on a 2GB card, albeit very slowly, but that was apparently dumb luck.
Actually, it may have been some form of wizardry in the third-party drivers I was using, because now I've got a more powerful machine with a better card, and things are about as slow, but with weirdly more "out of memory" errors.
That's all well and good for the lore, but it doesn't make it feel any less like a way of getting out of the corner they wrote themselves into. It would also probably be little comfort for the version of the Voyager crew that took something like 70 years to get home.
I've enjoyed Discovery. Not as much as other series, but I have enjoyed it. I still think the spore drive is a story that should've been told later in the timeline, though.
Don't forget that most of the money that does make it to schools goes to sports programs. See my hometown's new million dollar football field, ten-year-old textbooks and cancelled art program for reference.
Most people don't understand and are put off by the concept of federation and the difficulties that can come with it.
You have to find a suitable instance. Many instances are specialized, require applications, or simply don't allow new users at all. I myself have yet to find a well-suited instance, and instead, I'm on an instance where discovery of my content is impossible.
With Twitter, if someone shares their profile, it's two clicks to follow them. With the fediverse, you have to get their profile, then manually search for it on your own instance. In some cases, this doesn't work reliably due to federation errors.
Its possible you'll find yourself in the off-putting position of being unable to follow some people you'd like due to instances being defederated. This can make the process of finding an instance harder, or for people who are unfamiliar with the concept, result in them declaring the whole thing broken and moving away.
The problem is finding a viable alternative. Mastodon and Firefish are too much trouble for most people, BlueSky is a walled garden and Threads is... Well, Threads is Threads, enough said.
Breaking news: Elon is a hypocrite. In other news, snow found to be cold.
I mean, it's not like this is new. He ranted about free speech for months, then as soon as he bought twitter, he started removing journalists that spoke out against him. He's scum, plain and simple.
