@m0urs @frederic@mastodon.bayern niemals. das wirds hoffentlich bei allen beteiligten ein ganz böses erwachen geben.

@Elfie @thor yeah, i think slingshot channel still does stuff. i kinda want the real deal though. it's just bullshit that i can have a multishot crossbow shooting with > 100J but not something in 22 rimfire without jumping through hoops :)

@thor nice, congratulations! :)

@Elfie @thor i think the two gun stuff really looks fun, it's almost impossible to do in germany though. what certainly was interesting for me is that finland seems to have a quite active gun community.

@Elfie @thor i like how nice, relaxed and on-topic ian is. no bullshit there :)

@arh that was meant as "if i were you i'd drop him a line" :)

i'd drop drew a line. i'm not sure if sourcehut is still us based, which could limit what can be legally done because of the embargo stuff.

@thor well, ian "gun jesus" mccollum doesn't, forgotten weapons keeps on going. he has stuff scheduled though, so it might be he takes a few days off from time to time :)

@pleb@hunk.city EU sucks ever since it become more than a free trade zone.

@avalos@mstdn.social we were kids at school, and most of us did either share stuff on cds or kazaa or whatever was available :)

> HDMI splitter? I mentioned screen recording in my toot, and it doesn't scale up. You can only play content at normal speed.

but only one person has to do it, after that you have a convenient file to copy as you like. just hit play and do something else :)

> If pricing was the real reason, then most people would be pirating because it's even cheaper: it's free!

it's _cheap enough_. people don't want to fire up a torrent client (or whatever), if for a few dollars they can just open their browser or an app. if it were $100 it would be different, but the pricing is low enough.

i got stuff burned as video cd back in the days and was happy with that, so were my peers. the competitive pricing is what "kills" privacy, not making ripping stuff hard. breaking drm is just seen as sport :) look at denouvo or how it's called for games. took a year or two to work out the details, but now new games are cracked in days. imho, the only thing which drm is good at is being broken and not playing back at real customers.

@ARCONITE

@avalos@mstdn.social mega etc. but the point is cound just be someone uploading stuff to your whatsapp group or whereever. the point is that even less experienced people often know someone to get stuff from.

the real thing killing piracy is the pricing, the streaming services are cheap enough and the collective mindset is that "you are supposed to have it because what else would you do? (are you poor or what?)". at least that's how i observe it.

drm isn't doing jack shit, you can get a hdmi splitter and get going. i think there are some which dump stuff directly to sd cards. the only problem are 4k things, but even those are pirated nearly instantly.
