at most industrialized factory farms, produce green tomatoes, which are almost indestructible in shipping via truck, trains and boats, then once in the warehouse they close the doors, and flood the entire building with ethylene which turns them red, and from there they go to the supermarket, where you buy them. these tomatoes haven’t been given the proper time to ripen, and so they don’t develop the sugars in the ripening process that give fresh tomatoes their deliciousness.

nice. you are gonna eat like a king tonight!

well, no, there’s no amount of money the riaa/mpaa could pay them, which would justify the amounts lost to terminating services for everyone that’s pirating, lol, they’d go out of business

Before the internet you would have to go to a library to read a book you didn’t want to purchase. Libraries are still a thing. You can still go there to borrow a book, read it, and return it, so that others can read it.

The only difference here is the magnitude of access, where publishers weren’t very concerned with at the local library level for token public good, but are very much now alarmed with, in that the internet can distribute content to everyone all the time, content they were very much hoping to continue to monetize.

It’s information gatekeeping, but no one is going to tell the publishing industry they might as well fold up shop and stop publishing because they can’t make any money at it any longer.

mastodon : when you block another account they cease to exist and can no longer interact with your account at all ever

lemmy: when you block another account, the only thing that happens is you can no longer see or interact with that accounts past or future activity, though they can still see, vote, and comment under yours which, just like reddit, is ripe for abuse and doxxing

there can be no discussion of tolerance or free speech when there can be no way to block other abusive accounts from your content or you from harrasment
