@Suzu @karolat @mia @mischievoustomato @not_br549 @smug Remember DivX? ...Remember DIVX? No, not the same thing!
It was hilarious, they tried to sell rental discs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIVX . It was like streaming before bandwidth was abundant enough to actually do a streaming service.
> DIVX (Digital Video Express) is a discontinued digital video format. Created in part by Circuit City, it was an unsuccessful attempt to create an alternative to video rental in the United States.
> [...]
> DIVX was a rental format variation on the DVD player in which a customer would buy a DIVX disc (similar to a DVD) for approximately US$4.50, which was watchable for up to 48 hours from its initial viewing. After this period, the disc could be viewed by paying a continuation fee to play it for two more days.
> [...]
> Initially, the players were approximately twice as expensive as standard DVD players, but price reductions occurred within months of release.
The public largely ignored it. I've never seen a DIVX player. People were not willing to buy a disc that you had to pay to watch.
:bezos: Times sure have changed. -

Don't do that, it's terrible. New format is terrible. Ignore all new formats for at least ten years so that you don't waste time buying Beta cassettes. -

@mia @p @karolat well, technically speaking, as soon as you set up the configuration.nix (or the weird Flakes thing, I'm still not very acquainted with that), the system gets out of your way and just works in that stable way, it will have exactly what you said it should have (and anything that the stuff you said it should have requires to work), no more and no less. -

@Suzu @karolat @mia If I want a thing on the computer, I put it on the computer. Nix is an attempt to make something simple into something complicated as a cope for how completely shitty package managers are about having two versions of something installed.

@p @mia @not_br549 @mischievoustomato @smug @karolat oh, right, the physical media with a time limit, I remember that, and I remember it failed miserably.
I think the biggest problem is taking away people's point of reference:
Back in the day you could buy a regular DVD player, then you could rent a DVD movie for a couple weeks, or you could just buy a DVD movie and watch it whenever you wanted. The option they gave was to buy a more expensive equipment with the shittiest DRM ever, so people could compare the two and see that DIVX sucked.
Nowadays, people (normies) don't have a good point of reference anymore. They can pay monthly for many streaming services to be able to watch their series and there is not really any good option for controlling your media (except pirating, but normies were conditioned into thinking that piracy is bad). Actually, streaming services were considered an upgrade from cable TV, since you would pay but "at least you can watch things anytime you want instead of waiting the TV channels to show it".
