@compfu@mograph.socialGuilty pleasure: I'm catching up on the many Fast & Furious movies that I haven't seen yet. I've seen the first one when it came out and I'm skipping straight ahead to no. 7, the last one starring the late Paul Walker. It's not hard to follow the plot despite references to enemies and deaths from previous movies.

@jae@mastodon.me.ukIt always frustrates me when shows and movies do the trope that a relationship won’t work due to long distance.
I think I prove in my 4 years that it can and does work.
@KazuShuSora@social.tchncs.deToday's events just reassured me that regularly buying music and movies in a way, that I can truly own them, was the right call, and I should buy more games DRM-free on GOG or itch, if they are available, there.
@Nathan@social.lostinok.comTook my daughter to see Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory in the theaters tonight. Still slightly disappointed to raise her in a world without Gene Wilder in it, but I’ll do the best with what we have.

@KazuShuSora@social.tchncs.deSo let me get this straight:
- The next console generation will likely cost 1k
- It will be digital only
- Prolly no good sales for that reason
- They can remove the games however they want like they are already practicing with movies
So buying digital DRM-free on PC is superior, at this point?!

@kurtsh@mastodon.socialThe case to buy physical media: Sony is removing all purchased Studio Canal movies from users libraries - no refunds - including:
▫️ Terminator 2: Judgment Day
▫️ Apocalypse Now: Final Cut
▫️ Hot Fuzz
▫️ Total Recall
▫️ Rambo: First Blood
▫️ Paddington
▫️ Moonlight
▫️ Bridget Jones’s Diary
☑️ Sony Removes Hundreds of Purchased PlayStation Store Movies From Customer Libraries
@luana@wetdry.worldSony wants to kill the one and only console advantage over PCs
And this comes right after they removed many bought movies from user libraries, providing no refund at all
At least Sony also announced they won't subsidize consoles as much anymore, so at least people will be less prone to get a console over a PC (even tho they're probably doing this thinking on fueling game streaming)
Oh and Sony also said they won't be porting their games to PC anymore so that sucks.

Except, another jellyfin Inexplicable, if it hits an unsupported file, FULL STOP and a dialog box. So it cannot run unattended (unless your collection is Pure) 😔
@sascha_wolfer@fediscience.orgIt took me about 1 to 2 hours and a #RaspberryPi 4 to set up my own #Jellyfin installation.
This is basically a „private #Spotify“ with your own music (also handles movies/shows but I‘m not using that). With Manet, there‘s also a very slick iOS app to use with the Jellyfin server.
