They, like DVDs, have a lifespan of ~20 years but can last a lot longer if kept in a cool and dry spot.

But also you can rip the discs and store them digitally on hard drives or whatever :)

Maybe that metaphor would make sense if technology hadn’t already completely saturated the world before we had this new process.

Maybe coding isn’t as hard as making artisan hand made paper…

Blurays are better quality than streaming.

4K Bluray is the highest quality you’ll ever get in your home by like, a lot.

Streaming is a regression.

Yep. In my country 3G is shutdown. Without 4G and VoLTE you cannot make calls.

8 bucks is definitely 10 bucks in my book. 6.99 is 5 but above that and I start thinking 10.

It’s default installers aren’t as newbie friendly IMO. And the defaults/theming are a bit bland out of the box.

Some drama on their licensing situation:

I mean that’s vague.

I’d say it depends on the content too. On a computer monitor at typical size/distance? Yeah probably. Small text will look much much better.

Depends on the screen size and distance.

And piracy gets them from Bluray.

Now that that’s dying I’m afraid we’re gonna be stuck with streaming bitrates.

There’s barely any actual 4K content you can consume

I feel like that’s not true. But you’ve gotta try. If you’re streaming it, chances are it’s not really any better. 4K Bluray (or rips of them…) though? Yeah it’s good. And since film actually has 8K+ resolution old movies can be rescanned into high resolution if the original film exists.

Supposedly Sony Pictures Core is one streaming service that can push nearly 4K Bluray bitrates… but you’ve gotta have really good internet. Like pulling 50-80GB in the span of a movie runtime.

I feel like on monitors because you’re fairly close getting at least 2k is good. Depending on size even 4k makes sense.

Small text on large 1080p monitors looks… Not great.

For gaming though absolutely

Nah. On larger screens it’s good to have

Yeah. A 1080p Bluray clocks in around 20GB. A 4K bluray is 60-80GB.

If you’re downloading something smaller it’s probably lower quality

Huh? I wasn’t trying to stalk you, you said you had run into them so I took a peek.

I mean, here’s a Hexbear thread about him winning.

They’re skeptical that he’ll stay principled but nobody there is saying he’s the next coming of Hitler.

I’d love to see the link. You’ve got over 1k comments in 30 days or I’d look for it on your profile.

Thanks for the links to the posts/comments backing up your statement. Really made me think.

I’d say they’re skeptical that Mamdani will keep to his promises or that electing him isn’t enough. But dislike? I bet every one would’ve voted for him.

Seeing the tankies talk about him on .ml would make you think he was leading the 4the Reich.

Source: I made it up

I’ve seen many that are skeptical that he’ll stick to his promises but I don’t think any of that crowd would disagree that he was clearly the best option and a big step forward.
