  These remaining DirecTV subscribers are gonna be pissed when AT&T swaps out the dial-tone on their landline for an ad stream.

  They were already dangerous when Trump told them to stand back and standby. They became significantly more dangerous when he deputized them and instructed them to wear masks and avoid being identified while they rounded up opposition. They became even more dangerous when Doge gave them access to everything the government knows about citizens to improve the effectiveness of their harassment and intimidation. They need became more dangerous when they arrested blue-state politicians for asking questions and nothing came of it. And yeah… the better their tools get, the more dangerous they become.

  But simplifying this to “experts say it’s dangerous” under sells reality so badly.

  that’s how the codec game works.

  That, and add some patent pools filled with dubious claims of essentiality, sales deals made under the threat of litigation, and ever-present claims of “twice as efficient it’s predecessor” with a big asterisk. Fun times.

  Probably not. Disney has previously announced that they’re gonna stop reporting subscriber numbers in 10Ks and annual reports.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because nobody but Disney has that data, and they stopped sharing sub numbers because it fucks with stock price too much.

  Talkin out their ass seems to be Newsweek’s brand identity these days.

  If they follow the script, they’ll blame Antifa, Obama, and trans people.

  I don’t use the phone part of my smartphone much, so thie idea of a dumbphone has no real appeal for me.

  And yet… I would’t bat an eye if I saw a new executive order tomorrow requiring that.
