I doubt that'll make much difference at this point. It's the academic distinction between "shooting the tourism industry in the head" and "shooting the tourism industry in the head, twice". It's dead either way.

Talk about being on the wrong side of history. You're not scraping the bottom of the barrel, America. You reached that and then started drilling to see how low you could go.

Please do us all a favor and unfuck yourselves.

I believe that Handbrake externalizes the handling of BD encryption to an separate external library (libbdplus IIRC) for various legal and logistical reasons. You'll need that installed too if you want to decode encrypted discs.

If the basic version of MakeMKV isn't enough for you and you don't want to register for the full version, Handbrake is a good alternative.

As Trump has never been know to stick to any agreement he's made with others, why should anybody stick to one made with him?

...Right next to the oil furnace in the basement, trying to figure out how to rig it to blow and burn the place down.

I've always done that with both my parents, but then again I'm Danish. It's a radically different culture. Families are not seen as particularly inherently important here. It's usually not even a meritocratic assessment of the family as a unit - it's an individual one. You might like some people, you might dislike others. Either way, is has almost nothing to do with whether a blood relation exists or not.

"An asshole's an asshole."

Edit: Along similar philosophical lines, there's no particular veneration of age. Age and wisdom might be proportionally related, but one does not guarantee the other. Some people manage only to grow more foolish with age. Precocious children exist.

I'd be very interested in exploring the differences between cultures more with you, assuming you're willing.

Much like what happened to Digg back at the dawn of time, Reddit's relentless series of unforced errors, undesirable policy changes and deliberate enshittification finally drove me to seek out an alternative.

Are they now..? Then it seems rather odd - in light of their usual behavior - that they're just talking instead of acting upon it.

Why, it's almost like Putin is so completely full of shit that the pressure is forcing it out his mouth.
