A number of Blu-ray-related patents for Sony will be expiring between 2026 and 2031, ending their ability to collect royalties on physical movie and video game discs🚀

This means audiences will be forced to rely exclusively on streaming platforms, if physical media is entirely phased out.

Blu-Rays and UHD Blu-Rays have a noticeably superior quality compared to digital/streaming counter parts, as the latter suffers lower video and audio quality due to higher compression.

So once again, this isn’t about nostalgia, this is about Sony taking away:

❌Quality
❌Ownership
❌Competitive pricing
❌Preservation

Sony has recently removed 500 movies from users’ purchases list without compensation.

They are actively ruining our gaming and viewing experiences, while masquerading it as “the future”, and we MUST NOT BE SILENT.

We speak out, seek the law, and vote on laws that prevent a single company from destroying art and entertainment, due to the greed of their CEOs and shareholders.

NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

Podemos volver al Google de antes? No quiero un resumen hecho por IA, ni una vista general, ni que la IA me explique Internet. Quiero buscar algo y que Google me muestre los resultados. ¿Cómo se desactiva esta cosa?

PlayStation really needs to be humbled again like in the PS3 era

"I have nothing to hide."

False.

You have medical history

You have financial behavior

You have location patterns

You have political views

You have relationship data

Privacy was never about hiding crimes. It was always about owning your life.

We've been getting a lot of questions lately about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.

The short answer: page by page, by hand.

You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.

Meet Eliza, and learn how we scan books: https://t.co/gt9s5lbPE4

The only benefits for digital only that you ever hear from digital only jabronis all amount to laziness.

Too lazy to swap discs, too lazy to go to a store.

[God Empress of Mankind @nuhre_]

If I catch any of you contrarian motherfuckers crying in a few years because the standard edition is $150, the deluxe is $250, your PS6 won't boot without a subscription, every menu has ads, and you're paying monthly to rent games you used to own...

I don't want to hear a single fucking peep.

Not one.

Because every time someone tried to push back, you were there doing free PR for a multibillion-dollar corporation.

Just being wrong and loud for free.

You looked at a company taking away your rights one feature at a time and thought, "You know what this billion-dollar corporation really needs? Me in the replies defending them."

When they eventually bend you over too, don't come looking for sympathy.

Go ask fucking Sony.

Keep your pro-AI opinions to yourself when all you can say is "AI is a tool" and "I don't have time to make art myself".

AI is killing our environment. Also I work 60+ hours a week and I STILL have time to do VO, draw and write without AI. There is no excuse and you're a loser.
