  • “to live in the past” is so fucking dumb, it shows that the person who wrote that title and the publisher who approved it thinks depending in AI, not caring about the data collected from you, jumping into whatever new popular thing and never having any critical thoughts about where this is all going is a good thing and the future.
    They’re actually living in the now and making choices from that and for the future, they understand the objectively bad practices and shitty behaviour of the late stage capitalism we’re living in.

    Yeah, while I agree with many points people make about physical media I rarely re-watch movies/shows and re-play games. I do everything I can to lessen the environmental impact I have, and a plastic disc with some other stuff from who knows where transported to me for mostly one time use goes very much against that. And yes, companies are the biggest criminals when it comes to humanity’s destruction of the climate but they couldn’t do that if no one was giving them money. So I do and tell others to stop doing that, to make intelligent and researched choices in everything they do.













  • It was 20 years ago, not 15.
    The Xbox 360 is now as old as the NES was when the 360 released. While there’s no actual definition of retro I feel the general idea is around 20 years old, meaning the 360 generation and all first year games are now retro.

    Specifically American boomer, and something that’s still going on. There was a thread here on lemmy a while ago that was about how american culture is very different from much of the world in terms of how much the father does in the things mentioned here. That a lot of the world have had it kinda even for many decades and some places even centuries.


  • Here in Sweden I have over 20 choices of providers, many with specific a focus. One that is superb, which is the one I have, don’t do any tracking or information gathering at all. They are fully focused on privacy, an open Internet and have helped countries in need, like Ukraine, with hardware to keep Internet access on. They’ve been raided and taken to court over not following the required IP address storage laws and some other things of deliberately not collecting information. Their newsletter is so good too, all about privacy and relevant tech news. Seriously couldn’t dream of a better ISP.
