PlayStation founder Ken Kutaragi says discs became "metaphor for 'owning' games", and that upset at their discontinuation is a "mentality issue" (www.eurogamer.net)

very easily

Goes on talking about web servers

Comparing to walking up to someone and handing them an object...

Or literally sending the 1MB file over some chat app And then dragging the file into the e-reader Easier than meeting in person

[–] rants_unnecessarily@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

This is what I was thinking my self. Pretty easy to just send the file to a friend/family.

I just found their comment hilarious.

I don’t even meet in person, I just drop a box of books off at my library or thrift store. That’s typically where I buy/borrow my books from, so it’s not out of the way. Unless it’s one I think a friend would like, then I save it for the next hangout.

Typical fediverse user in that sense. It's not exactly surprising, a self hostable social media does seem to have a lot of people who believe self hosting things is trivial.

Yeah, it’s not the first time I’ve received a reply like that, but that was a thousand times better than the last one.

Last time it was my comment on why I hadn’t made the switch to Linux, I couldn’t get wow to work so I went back to windows (I know, windows bad). I get a reply basically calling me an idiot and saying even his tech illiterate mother got it working on Linux, like I didn’t spend a full day trying.

But yeah, this person was significantly more respectful and I appreciated their response. Carl seems like good people.

Well you don't have to host it, theres also just a desktop program where you drop your files.
