@inthehands Dang, has it been that long? 👴🏻

@inthehands iTunes hasn't always been DRM-free. I have a lot of .M4P files in my iTunes folder that I can't convert to any other format and will never be able to play using anything except iTunes.

I can burn 'em to a CD, though.

@inthehands Download it AND BURN IT. Because DRM means that one day you may own the file but find yourself unable to play it.

@mcnulla @thecorodon @inthehands Not if they're trained on the choices made by human CEOs.

@inthehands If only we could abandon the CEOs when the shine wears off.

And this is why we have concerns about Joe Biden's age, and about the domination of the presidency and Congressional leadership by boomers-and-older. When the general public began using the Internet, around 1995, Biden was 53, his worldview shaped by the two-thirds of his life he'd already lived.
