Is there a way to buy movies and tv series without being bound to a specific player/platform?

I want to buy movies and series so that I can download them and watch them whenever I want, without the need for an internet connection or a specific player software. Is that possible anywhere? It's possible to get DRM-free music, but I couldn't find anything like it for video content. Or is it just not possible and I have to buy a bluray player?

Yes, this!
Both side do not have equal weight in many issues. Sometimes one side is just wrong.
I would like more facts in our news and less 'commentary' too.
Thanks to reporters and writers who are doing a good job.

Tiny Privacy Motivational Tip 🔒:

If you ever decide to start reducing your digital prints, be patient.

Don't give up because it seems too big to achieve, take smaller steps instead. Every small step helps.

You don't need to do it all at once, it can be a long process. Be patient. Do one little thing per week.
You got this ✹

@globcoco I learnt it thanks to a post (in French) by @etcetera
https://framapiaf.org/deck/@etcetera@c.im/111470362386014100 , I then told them in PM about my intention to relay the info not as a boost, but with a cartoon. The reason: I had a scenario for a future episode in draft with a big reference to Schrödinger's cat experiment. I immediately put it to trash without regret.

There's a recent video by @canadiancivil about why people should join Mastodon and the Fediverse.

It takes a VERY different approach to other vids you may have seen.

It's, um... very straight-talking with some strong language đŸ˜± and written by someone who found Mastodon too confusing. This is possibly video's strength though, as it may reach people that others cannot.

Anyway, see what you think, and if you know someone who might find it useful share it with them:

Mastodon Is Bigger Than A Twitter Replacement

PeerTube

Twitter was, of course, a repeated example of this. It was never *intended* to be a tool for dissidents or for organizing protests. But within a few years of its introduction, that became a major secondary function of the platform, in the US as well as in some very repressive regimes. It happened to meet the needs of these communities, and they just started using it in ways its designers never specifically anticipated.

Design as if your users' lives might depend on your choices.

@gabek @PierricD @neil I haven't looked at the Web Monetization standard, but I would LOVE to have an easily accessible button in my web browser which would send, say, €0.01, €0.10 or a custom amount to whoever is behind the web site (or page) I'm currently on, in such a way that a huge chunk of the money that goes out of my account actually goes into the account of the person or people at the other end. Make it as unobtrusive as hitting "like" on a social media post. Oh, and without tracking. 🙂

Paying people who make things that you like, in actual money, even if just a couple of £/$/€ a month, will put far more in their pocket than the pittance they get from an ad-funded intermediary, or from your subscription to Spotify etc.

You can support creators in a far more meaningful way than surveillance advertising offers while also fighting back against surveillance advertisjng. Win win!

@annecavicchi investigation is slow, hard and expensive, there is no money in it. A four way of talking heads speculating about something, now that’s cheap and fast. That can turn a profit.
@Yozoo sad, isn’t it.

@annecavicchi

also, stop f'n just repeating what people post on twitter. Call them and get them to answer your questions. Quoting their tweets doesn't make you a journalist. It makes you a part of their PR team.

@annecavicchi Actually, i have to go outside to deduce the truth. I can't easily see out the window to figure it out
@ellenor2000 yes, individual critical thinking is important. Unfortunately too many don’t use it.
@annecavicchi
This! Hell yes, a bzillion f%%%ing times this. Thank you.

@annecavicchi This is one of the reasons Emily Maitlis left the BBC and she talks about it in the video of her speaking at a conference that hit the news a while back now.

She talked about how you could have 1,000s of scientists, experts in their subjects, to talk about something but then having to search and search to find someone (often far less qualified) who had the opposing opinion, just so they were presenting a "balanced" viewpoint. When there was nothing "balanced" about it at all.

@annecavicchi @ctvnews @globalnews #PostMedia @globeandmail @torstar #TorontoStar @nationalpost all #FourthEstate in Canada #EnoughIsEnough. We want thought-provoking, investigative articles that improve Canadian lives. We currently have cheap seat conspiracies and riveting “breaking” news stories like Minister Freeland getting a speeding ticket. It’s disheartening but even more, it’s damned irritating.
@annecavicchi I wanna spam the NYT with this every time they give terf scientists a platform.
Sounds about right.
@annecavicchi @saraislet I can’t boost this enough. I wish more so called journalists understood this.
