You will own nothing and be happy !!!!

So yesterday Sony confirmed that they will be cutting production for physical disk based games. Now this issue to non gaming folks might seem largely unrelated but this sets a very dangerous precedent. Essentially now what happens you can't buy second hand games or trade old games, this also leaves you at the mercy of sony for buying games as they will have a monopoly.

They will be able to raise price by how much ever they want and whenever they want . That's not even the worst part. The worst thing is that there will be no guarantee that your games will live on . Yes that's right, the product you pay for can also clear to exist if the corpos want it. They can just just say we are not going to pass secret updates or outright shutting them and there is nothing you can do about it.

This example can be emulated by other corpos if they want best example at the top of my head is gpu manufacturing. Example:- let's say you want to do something gpu or cpu intensive (gaming, modelling,rendering etc) but the gpu and cpu companies decide that it's more profitable for them if you buy computing power from them (cloud based services) making your machine effectively a useless box that you can just use to surf the net.

This by the way is being done by Amazon (AWS) and Google as well, this can put huge dent in academia and research or even daily livelihood of people who won't be able to purchase computing power for their freelancing work.( Theoretically they can give poor tgp gpus and rent out higher tgp ).

Another thing that can be raised is essentially knowledge be held hostage as foss or fosd ( free open source software/hardware) will also be at the corpos mercy and guess what? Gpu tech is so IP protected essentially out of amd and nvidia or intel no one has been able to reproduce them (on curriculum level like you can learn how to make a cpu but not gpu).

Even in EU parliament, yes the bastion of lobs were not able to hold of save games bill even after it got 500k plus signatures.

Erdogan threatens israel

So the supreme caliph has threatened the skeleton machine state with an attack (allegedly as some people are saying this can be just israeli echelon lobbying to attack turkiye or go up till it's border) if true what can we expect? This can make things more expensive as turkey will be levying a toll on the trade routes it control and will further radicalise muslims?

Update: his exact statement was israel threatened regional security of which turkey is a part of and the only source of erdogan threatening israel is from an Israeli mouthpiece.

Active targetting or general misogyny?

Recently in the r slash bamanraj sub there was a post or old post that was recirculated ig where a uc woman was attempted gang rape by sc/st community and the she escaped plus was threatened with atrocities act. But the objection that was loudest was the sc/st community was saying either we will father your kids or murder you and some similar posts were mad ein regard to Bihar where videos of steet interviews came akin to same message. So my question is this the so call brahmi persecution fetish or just general misogyny due to being sexually repressed and illiteracy??
