في وداع ابنها هلي
رأيت فيروز كما لم نرها من قبل
أمًّا في وجعها، وإنسانة في كسرها، وقوية رغم كل شيء
الله يمنحها الصبر وأن يجبر قلبها كما جبرت قلوبنا عمرًا كاملًا
يا سيد تعى شوف مين عم يزور لبنان اليوم!
كل حروبك كانت عالفاضي، قتلت ناسك عالفاضي، صرفت مصاري عالاعلاميين عالفاضي، فقعتنا بالساعات خطابات عالفاضي، يتمّت ولاد ورملت نسوان عالفاضي
اليوم وزير خارجية احمد الشرع (الجولاني) يزور الدولة اللبنانية 😌
PlayStation just announced that new games will be released as digital only starting in 2028.
Do you see it yet?
You will live in the pods. You will eat the bugs. You will own nothing. You will stream the compute.
Do not ignore what’s happening. They want you to live in a world where you are a RENTER that BORROWS everything. They want you to be a subscriber that LEASES their life from a master.
Do not be a digital slave that can have their access to life revoked at any moment in time. If you own nothing, you can be shut out at a moments notice.
It can and WILL happen to you. You are not protected by being “good.” You don’t know how quickly rules and sentiments can change.
This is very scary. This is real. This is happening.
Make noise. Do not go gently. Reject the paradigm.
Heed this warning. This path leads to you eventually not owning your physical body. No idea how that ultimately looks in the end, how technologically this plays out, but that is the conclusion and it WILL happen as this road continues.
Anything you don’t own can and WILL be taken from you. This is not conspiracy theory, this is educated fact. Do not let people dismiss this or hand wave you away.
Hoard hardware. Hoard physical media. Protect your material things. Do not let all your memories and history eventually disappear. Do not allow yourself to be gatekept.
On the same day Sony told a billion gamers to embrace digital forever, it quietly showed them the catch.
Two announcements, one blog, an hour apart.
First: from January 2028, no new PlayStation game will ship on a disc, digital only.
Second, buried below: Sony is closing the online stores for the PlayStation 3 and Vita, so you will no longer be able to buy games there at all.
Read together, they are not two stories. They are the whole argument about what you actually own.
A disc is the last thing in your home a Silicon Valley company cannot reach. A PlayStation game from 1994 still works today, and the law lets you resell it, lend it, keep it forever.
That is ownership. It is protected by something called the first-sale doctrine, and it applies to physical objects. It does not apply to digital purchases. That is not Sony being cruel. That is the quiet legal truth underneath the whole shift.
Sony's own spokesperson said it plainly today. With all digital content, you are not buying the game. You are buying a personal license for non-commercial use. Not the thing. Permission to use the thing, which depends on the company's servers and goodwill. They once pulled a game called Concord two weeks after launch. Buyers got refunds, but the game itself simply vanished.
This was never really about discs versus downloads. It is about moving the largest entertainment medium on Earth from a world where you own an object the law protects, to one where you hold access the law treats as rented.
Convenient, cheaper, and easier for almost everyone. Also revocable in a way a disc never was.
The click of a disc into a console was ownership. The download is permission. Sony just showed you, in a single morning, how differently the two age.
Do you agree with what Sony did??
