Yeah, with a shrinking supply, prices will skyrocket no matter what

I welcome my human counterparts
Check out the current Luddite movement, this is their main complaint
Maybe add to the caveat if it’s internet connected? I kinda like some old apps that don’t require network access and don’t really need an update (think guitar tuners, the frequency of a note hasn’t changed and as long as the underlining OS API still runs then I don’t see much of a problem)
Homemade pico had to make it so much better!
This is such a bummer of comment on so many levels. It’s like the tragedy of the commons became sentiment and chose nihilism
Your argument is that since it’s not convient or an exact substitution, we should continue supporting these companies that annoy us?
Yes, they are two different concepts but both can be true at the same time. For example, corn and lumber prices in the commodity market sky rocketed during the pandemic, those prices eventually hit the consumer

Support your local baker and chocolate shop instead, big corporations aren’t your friend but your local small business owner could be
Well, if you use credit cards that data gets tracked, stored, mined for years to come, not to mention the dozens of internet servers it took for you to buy that bread in the immediate. If you use cash, I’d assume some local authorities use extra AI to track your movements via cloud cameras (plus fiat isn’t fungible since it has serial numbers)
It would be nice to hear the “pro-[insert your local fiat]” energy use when people argue environmentalism against cryptocurrencies

yeah not sure. are there ways to rip a drm physical album to audio file?
encrypt everything, layers and layers of encryption and then feed them garbage
not sure how to cross post, but this would fit well in surrealmemes@sh.itjust.works
why not buy the album and then use it locally on your device? vlc runs pretty much everything and you could fit thousands of songs while offline (could even remove the gsm/wifi/bluetooth from a phone running some FOSS os and turn it into your offline media device). or just get a cd player for $1 at a thrift store, offline, private, full access
thrift stores sell albums for $1 and there are a few sites that sell new music to be downloaded for cheap
sudo install magic-i-hope-this-isnt-malware
local foss image recognition for memes would be nice. i’ll add it to my “search list” and if i find a good one, will reply
thanks!
Hopefully the author explains how to use SSL/TLS since their site doesn’t :/
