It doesn’t matter how boring you are. You are still a voter and a consumer to be squeezed maximally for profit and to be diverted from revolting and chopping billionaires heads off, just like every other person on earth

This map is wrong. There is no way you can claim Russia isn’t executing citizens…

Me, waiting for age verification because I scanned a 0,0 alcohol free beer

I buy loads and loads of old vinyl records from various discount bins, flea markets and thrift stores. If it’s 1 or 2 €: I often just buy blind if cover is somewhat appealing to me or because artists names ring a bell for me.

If I like what I hear, I obtain an mp3 copy of it (various sources) for my library. If I really liked it and can’t find it digitally (it happens): I record my own vinyl record to have a digital copy. My file preference is mp3 VBR. I think flac is overkill for most basic soundsystems and human ears and they are not worth the enormous filesize difference.

Filesize itself usually isn’t relevant. A high resolution video in a very large file size will rarely cause playback issues on most devices. In my experience the bottleneck of a setup is almost always first encountered with highly compressed video with a large resolution.

Also, not everyone hoards. Some people look for 4k, watch once and delete. They don’t even seed.

Anyhow, the main thing to me is content quality. I can watch a solid movie in poor quality, but I couldn’t watch certain crappy movies in super duper high resolution quality even I would be paid for it

Depends on your TV, taste, budget.

A good movie at 480p can be watchable. A good movie at 720p is usually very fine for me.

1080p is my upper limit.

I have a small TV. Resolution doesn’t matter all that much if your TV isn’t 2 meters wide.

Small files with high resolution are very strongly compressed. Some devices might struggle with playing them causing lags or difficult to fast forward or backward etc. That would be more annoying to me than a lowish resolution.

Also depends who ripped it (did they know what they were doing?) and from which source. Webdl or DVD sourced are normally very watchable in lower resolutions if ripped by skilled people.

They do feature a lot of exotic words I don’t understand

The blind believe in 1 strong man at the top and a clear strict hierarchy are key ideas within far right ideology. It’s easier to organise the right, but it’s also easier for the right to en masse follow the crazy dumb ideas of that leader. Left organising from grassroots up is a lot harder, but in theory better.

In most of europe, until the 90s almost all media was state controlled by public broadcasters only. Only starting end 80s - early 90s radio and TV got flooded with commercial media.

Some records sell for crazy prices…

Digital picture frame might be feasible
