Yes, that’s the implication, and it’s certainly intentional for you to think of it like that.

Cool, what’s a reasonable replacement?
I would use an activity pub Lemmy verse Facebook
Nah, same here. I never connected it online. I just use it as a display

This wasn’t satire? I expected Hell in a Cell, but got QAnon levels of paranoia
How is this ‘politics’?
I highly highly doubt Biden has another half decade of useful life left.
Yeah, I thought everyone kinda intuitively understood this because redneck and farmer used to be synonymous.
I hope you can appreciate that this would be the move of a tyrant. You don’t dissolve the cornerstone of law and order without actually destroying the foundation.
No matter how corrupt, this would be unconscionable.
If you think the demand isn’t there, you’re out of touch. It’s certainly true that many consumers are choosing digital content, but it’s largely driven by it not having inconvenienced them so far too.
Everyone I’m seeing who lost the 3DS and Wii U stores, or lost access to all the games in their account, or even people who purchased media they can’t download and access again is realizing how big this problem is.
I mean, except it’s not a conspiracy. The death of physical media is an actual tragedy because digital media is nowhere near as free.
It’s to the point where much of the media I love is actually not available legally and officially for physical ownership, in some cases becoming actual lost media physically, and not available for purchase or even download anymore.
Companies absolutely want to control the consumption of media in more restrictive ways that they can control, it’s not a conspiracy, it’s the actual truth.
DRM, always online, digital only, subscription services - they are all designed to remove you further and further from being an owner.
Everything from video games, music, movies…all entertainment media is moving in this direction and it’s an actual tragedy.
I mean, even Google AI says it’s not bad, and in concept I kinda agree. I’ve had bacon donuts before and it was legit
Actually technically covers require royalties, whether they’re on a CD, or performed at someplace seedy.
They’re not the time honored tradition you think they are.
Now the big controversy is trans people, but if it wasn’t, it would be anti gay sentiment. Gay is seen as comparatively normal even by Republicans because of a few complex reasons, but can be reductively simplified as changes to the Overton Window and what could be described as ‘changing goal posts’
The Jaguar lied with the truth, and I say this as someone who still owns one.
Microsoft saw Google and Apple do this with phones, and Steam do this with games, and that’s why they made the Windows store a thing starting with 8.
They wanted to go the same direction.
