This fucking French song is stuck in my head. It won't stop.

The reason why I said what I said was because not many people understand the fairness of digital games, and get confused when comparing disc vs download, thinking that its unfair for them not to download their game again when a store goes under or if they get their license of a game revoked (that last point is a whole different issue I'll post about later).

I think that video helps spread awareness at the start of an understanding of how things work, but it needs something like 2 to 5 more videos to properly encompass this range of topics.

Regardless though, here's my thoughts while watching that video:

- A lot of fluff at the start / very counterable.

- I mean yea, file extractions, backups, and modding/cracking is the way to go.

- Yup, the difference between me downloading a singleplayer .exe game with no DRM and another having a disk with the same files is none. Technically speaking we both have "physical" copy of the game, one is physically in a disc and the other is physically in a hard drive.

- In the context of the above point's game example, you could sell the game disk to someone else, while not necessarily with the hard drive version of the game, you aren't necessarily selling the "Game" but rather selling the "collector's item" thought of it, the actual disk, and the art on top as well as its box if there is one, and the convenience of it, is what you're selling. In cases of DRM roadblocks, the value of the "convenience of it" shoots up dramatically.

- - In terms of transfer, well, that's obviously easier when thinking with the files and not with the physical disc (Ex: a lot of games on itch or GOG)

That was my thought from the beginning. Digital doesn't necessarily mean but by itself.

Same with electric vehicles, they don't have to be bad, but they're very connected to manufacturer's cloud services since it's a new technology. Could as easily been a regular electric with no connection.

It's always comes to DRM.

Unless you take down all the relays, if you're at least on one relay, you can still post.

Something that I think about returning to GNOME to see how it looks nowadays, but then I see images like these and I lose interest so fast.

I'll most likely do 2 things #nostr clients are resisting to do, one more than the other, around/after when v1 of nostr:nprofile1qqs0f0clkkagh6pe7ux8xvtn8ccf77qgy2e3ra37q8uaez4mks5034gpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfnj7qg4waehxw309ahx7um5wghx77r5wghxgetk9u7whuha is out. Actually, might be 3 things.

Will share more info when that time comes. Should be interesting to see if I'd be in the wrong or not. Regardless of the outcome, it will benefit the space from observing and learning from it.

Are these 3 things secret for now? 🫢

Silly me. I forgot you're using Debian.

Have you given Hyprland a try?

Need more info, which client are you using?

Also, if it's not Ditto, you should try it.
