Thank you, Nima!

Its all yo momma’s fault!

I LOVED TA back in the day. I recently bought it again off Steam.

Atari 2600 gamez! Very cool. I still have my 2600 and the TV I used when I was a kid. Both still work.

Also, so glad someone put arcade games on their list.

Ultima IV !!! Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

I played that on my Commodore 64 and waited a loooong time for the (actually floppy) disk drive to spin up.

I bet most people here don’t know any of the Ultima games.

Degoogle instead.

IDK much about it, but this exists:

Beautiful.

How to get more absolute shit from Goog?

The interwebs existed long before Google. They will continue to exist long after Google.

Cool, thanks. $5 -$6 / month is cheap.

I’ll bite. What is frugal Usenet?

Mmmm…red…

Boycott!

I was not just making a joke, amigo. I am old enough that I used this stuff back in the day. I graduated from dialing into BBSes on my Commode 64 to this stuff. And I am amazed and happy that it is still around.

Amazing! Thanks!

But what about Veronica?

Consumers are getting fucked. Media companies will continue to make it worse while trying to improve their bottom line. How long until it is all pay per view at sky high prices that only keep going up?

I try to own my media in physical form as much as possible. But I don’t think it will be long until physical is not an available format. Or unaffordable, like vinyl is now.

We should have resisted and stopped the DMCA. We should stop all media being rental only. But we do not resist, we comply. We bend over and get fucked like the sheeple we are.

Until consumers take control of their government they will continue to take it up the ass from corporations. They count on you to comply.

I am curious his much it would be if you got top tier of ALL the streaming services. Probably more than most would guess.

But google is NOT a monopoly. Right?
