Chat Control is not dead. The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos
The “Chat Control” proposal would legalise scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.
Boardgames I would love to have but nobody I know has any interest in them and has last played one in childhood.
But the DVD/CD thing is really neat. Thrifting in stores or online in general has become a lot of fun and I’ve gotten family into it as well, especially with CDs and vinyls. Also saves a lot of money and it helps with prioritizing what you are really interested in. I still have the occasional streaming service but looking at which movies/series/music we own physically, I may be more selective if only physical products are available. Not having to worry about content suddenly disappearing due to licensing rights is MUCH better anyway.
