Steve From Pittsburgh

The number of dudes on Pittsburgh roads driving around in their Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados aggressively overcompensating for their micropenises is absolutely off the charts.

were back to calling vomit "Throw up" . like "look at that pile of throw up over there" or " my ass is covered in throw up"

@ReggieHoggedUp But they didn't so who cares?

Imagine the Pirates had 3 World Series in the 21st century like the Pens have 3 cups. Pirates would clear the penguins if they were even half decent most years.

@daminals76 @McguirePetrov Are you kidding me? Not even close.

@McguirePetrov IMO The Pirates are 2nd in popularity… if they aren’t now the absolutely will be this year and next year with Skenes Bubba, and Konnor Griffin.

Pittsburgh. It’s literally the easiest answer to this

@PensML I sincerely hope you are doing a bit

‼️CALLING ALL PENGUIN FANS ‼️ If every Penguins fan can sign this petition we may be able to get Kris Letang to retire early and terminate his contract. If you support this movement, sign the Kris Letang Early Retirement Petition! #LetsGoPens c.org/kDCcpDkzRh

This is AWESOME news. The City Paper is vitally important.

@bl00dbunnyxx @youlovejordan_ @World0fEcho Yes, that's exactly right. DRM already exists for audio files and you can be blocked from accessing your files that you "own" under the guise of "copyright scanning"

@StevenEsquire @youlovejordan_ @World0fEcho i think i understand the point you’re trying to make, but wouldn’t that take some kind of fundamental change in how people play audio files? like a kind of DRM for audio like what they have with ebooks?

Owning your music doesn't have to look like a hundred shelves of vinyl & tapes or stacks of CDs. Physical media rules but a good digital download is still 100% your property and does not depend on investors and stocks for its continued existence

@cryptobobberx putting in lower highs every cycle is not bullish

When $XLM finally breaks out of this multi-year range... it's going to pump harder than ever before 🤝

@MilkshakeXS @youlovejordan_ @World0fEcho CDs rot over time but you wouldn't know that because you are barely older than MySpace

@StevenEsquire @youlovejordan_ @World0fEcho It's a file on your computer Like how you make a text document It's on it with no other dependencies Like how a CD sits on your shelf without some random failsafe that kills the CD when the label wants to destroy it Can you be less thick skulled

Wonder why Kindel couldn’t elevate the puck on his breakaway

@youlovejordan_ @World0fEcho Good luck accessing that permanently written data when the disc rots 👍

@StevenEsquire @World0fEcho They do if you don’t treat em like shit

@World0fEcho @youlovejordan_ For now

@youlovejordan_ @StevenEsquire Correct. I inherited my dad's CD collection after he passed and they all work flawlessly.

@youlovejordan_ @World0fEcho I have bluegrass 78s from the 1940s

@StevenEsquire @World0fEcho I still have flash drives from my freshman year of college which is exactly 12 years ago

@youlovejordan_ @World0fEcho Compact Discs famously known for their longevity

@World0fEcho @StevenEsquire They’re gonna use the 5G to somehow wipe the permanently written cd

@youlovejordan_ @World0fEcho None of these things will last a decade, let alone multiple decades.

@StevenEsquire @World0fEcho Do the computers that currently do just disappear or something? What about flash drives, memory cards, external hard drives/ ssd?

@World0fEcho @youlovejordan_ they sure can! do you expect most computers to have local storage 10 years from now? Tech companies aren't aggressively building data centers just for AI purposes

@StevenEsquire @youlovejordan_ this doesn’t apply to countless online sources ranging from itunes (not apple music, itunes), bandcamp, bleep, rough trade, and about a thousand other places. there isn’t some magic mechanism that they can trigger 10 years later

@SureZher @World0fEcho Pushing people to cloud storage is a major part of the "You'll own nothing and like it" plan. Google Drive already blocks access to certain files if they are flagged as potential copyright violations

@World0fEcho @StevenEsquire Catastrophic hardware failure and now nonexistent download link

@youlovejordan_ @World0fEcho "It doesn't matter where you purchased the content originally."

@StevenEsquire @World0fEcho Files on your computer aren’t the same as Apple Store downloads

@World0fEcho Yes, I am not talking about this in theory. As one example, Apple can limit how you use the digital content you already "own" on its devices. It doesn't matter where you purchased the content originally

@StevenEsquire we must be talking about two different things

@World0fEcho just because you own it, it doesn't mean they can't place limitations on its use

@StevenEsquire when I buy an album on bandcamp and download the WAVs, they're mine. they're permanent. no one can take them back.
