extras, commentaries, it’s nice seeing your favorite films on a shelf
i try to put in the disc, hit play, and just walk away so i miss all the garbage and the paragraphs warning me about prison time. kinda kills the mood
lmao copyright isn’t important
if copyright were abolished worldwide today, we’d be in a happier place. people who buy things generally want to buy from the official source anyway, those official sources might even have to cut prices or (god forbid!) have to make their services better to compete in the market
the most insulting part of this is ‘people’ suddenly pretending like we love and always loved the office, when it’s been a fundamental symbol of stagnation and boredom and misery in culture ever since they became widespread. NO ONE would voluntary want to spend 5 days in a shitty building after a commute wearing clothes they don’t want to with bosses sniffing around their necks all day leaving maybe 4 hrs a day to yourself in your home. ‘top talent’ or not, everyone deserves to be able to work where they feel most comfortable.
of course it is. why have anything good on there, no point reminding me of the old days when the internet was actually fucking useful
this is everything awful about the modern internet. i hate that they can just go and retroactively destroy creations like this. imagine if someone lost the rights to a song and they forced you to send the cassette back
RTO itself is poor management. it’s 2024, what the fuck are you doing. office work isn’t some peak utopian concept, it’s only really been a thing for around a century, and it’s grown increasingly miserable as productivity skyrockets while wages don’t. any honest person hates it, and it is objectively archaic now that we have the internet
yeah, zoom meetings do suck, talking is more awkward, collaboration is harder, vibes are harder to maintain. but in no universe should that take precedent over the massive quality of life improvements WFH offers for the worker. internal work dynamics mean fuck all versus not having to leave your home/family/pets for 8+ hours every day
genuinely remarkable how he gets more and more lame by the day. imagine having literal trillions of dollars, access to opportunities and experiences and pleasures we couldn’t even begin to fathom, and instead sitting down and writing this fucking garbage that would make a middle schooler cringe
one of the Good subs was called 100YearsAgo, people post HQ scans of old newspapers and photos from today in 1923. it’s very fascinating seeing how language changed / didn’t change, the attitudes around politics, women, prohibition, the minimum wage, etc
it’s so depressing if you watch steve jobs introduce the iphone, he boasted how safari offered a rich browsing experience, beautifully rendering the full desktop version with intuitive controls to zoom and swipe around, no janky mobile sites. and look at us now. how we have fallen.
(honestly i think tim cook wrecked the company, he’s a pure bloodless businessman, thinking only about numbers and value extraction versus innovation and changing the world, which jobs, for all his faults, objectively did)
