The reason vinyl is vinyl is because the format requires very careful mastering of the source audio. The medium is physically sensitive to dynamic range, frequency response, and groove spacing. That is why people argue that vinyl can sound better than a compressed digital file like an MP3 or a mass-produced CD.
Nothing about a DVD inherently requires special mastering of the video. If anything, DVDs are simply inexpensive to buy on the secondhand market, whether from local sellers or platforms like eBay.
Given the current state of digital licensing and streaming volatility, I understand why people want physical media like discs in order to truly own their movies. That could explain a modest resurgence in DVD sales.
But DVDs are not the next vinyl.
Vinyl never went away; it remained in production.
"Hey, we completely fucked this up. We mishandled it, made decisions our customers hate, and now we're scrapping it because we might lose money.
"Could we fix it? Sure. But that would mean changing the business model that made us money 20 years ago, and that’s terrifying. There’s a risk we might lose money."
"And sure, the board won’t lose a dime personally. But the stockholders, basically meerkats who scatter at the first loud noise might panic. And we can’t have that. We might lose money."
You know what, fuck you and your bullshit holier than thou attitude.
You're a stupid piece of shit that will never amount to anything worth while other than being a sweat lord mod on your own Lemmy sub literally called "fuck ai".
Literally a sex bot programed by a Russian propaganda mill has more original thought than you.
In 2024-2025, estimates put the NFT market in the 30-40+ billion dollar range (market size or annual sales), with giving a projected 34.1 billion dollars valuation in 2025 and Q1 2025 sales over 8.2 billion dollars on their own.

I totally agree with you. It's a tool and it's only as good as the person using it.
The truth is it is a competent editor and it can provide competent advice that you are not obliged to follow.
The ai slop, which is a very real thing, is human generated and posted by a human.
The data centers are being built because of high demand for LLM usage and the artificial ram shortage is driven by greed and poor business decisions. Blaming these things on llms is like blaming heroin for an addict using it.
They literally killed and excommunicated people after the invention of the printing press for producing unauthorized copies of the Bible. Figures like William Tyndale paid with their lives for translating scripture into English, challenging the Church’s authority.
There is illicit material circulating freely on Tor, demonstrating that technology can distribute both knowledge and criminal content.
Semiconductors underpin some of humanity’s most powerful and destructive technologies, from advanced military systems to cyberweapons. They are a neutral tool, but their applications have reshaped warfare and global power dynamics.
You are fully entitled to dislike AI or technologies associated with it. But to dismiss it entirely is ignorant. Whether you want to believe it or not, we are on the precipice of a technological revolution, the shape of which remains uncertain, but its impact will be undeniable.
Yes. These all qualify. They're all massively successful technologies.
Well, aside from 3D TVs and smart glasses. But they're generally innocuous. Yes I also understand that smart glasses es have privacy issues but then again in this day and age what doesn't.
The fuck are all these comments? The internet is shit, fuck the internet. It fuels billionaires, destroys the environment, kills critical thinking, confidently tells you to off yourself, praises Hitler, advocates for glue as a pizza topping. This tech is a war on artists and free thought and needs to be destroyed. Stop normalizing it. Stop using it.
Change this out for any other technology that's been innovated throughout human history. The printing press semiconductors the internet.
The anti-ai rhetoric on this platform is becoming nonsensical.
At this point it's just bandwagon hate. These people don't even understand the difference between llms and AIs and the various applications that they have.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
My wife and I make 120k a year and we can barely afford rent a car payment and daycare.
All we do is basically work. We have no life.
