Article by the Verge: It reports on technical difficulties encountered by movie theatre chain Alamo Drafthouse which prevented them from showing digital projections, due to software problems with Sony projectors.
I’ve never heard of this issue though and their headphones and TVs and PS5 have made my life so fun lol
CONSUME
At some point you just have to enjoy the world you live in… You should try it!
I enjoy typing “COMSUME” at consumers.
Lol fair cheers
You yell that at literally every person you meet, because that basically includes every single person? You yell it in the mirror?
Lol. Imagine buying a mirror.
Ha! Very good.
Here you go, for what it’s worth I’ve had tons of fun with competing products since then.
Wow that is quite egregious… Thanks for enlightening me. I think the solution to this sort of thing is regulations and that’s why I volunteer every election.
We don’t need anything they sell; boycotting them for 20 years has cost me neither money nor time. Direct action > voting.
I would argue that campaigning for local/state/federal is much more impactful than direct action against a company. I doorknocked more than anyone in my state Senate district and my state senator won in a red area, allowing Minnesota to have a 1-vote majority in the Senate. Now Minnesota has done more than any blue state across the board in two years than others have done in decades.
How are you estimating impact? In case you’re one of today’s “lucky” 10,000
I singlehandedly doorknocked thousands of houses, explicitly convinced dozens of people to find better news sources and support progressive candidates in primaries and general elections, and helped elect an attorney general who I genuinely trust (most relevant to this discussion; he is a close ally of Bernie Sanders). A lot more productive than complaining anonymously online like so many do on Lemmy and Reddit and other social media.
The direct action to which I’m referring is the boycott, not either of us discussing our choices online.
Bernie is a great example of this issue - we seemingly get really close to lots of wonderful things, only for them to be shot down at the last minute. The Princeton study suggests that this is a deliberate method of control.
Good clarification. I appreciate you sharing that, it has definitely changed my perspective. It’s nice to have an objective study like that. I hope we can break free from this control in my lifetime.
