Fun joke at Sony's expense but it's going to spectacularly backfire when Microsoft inevitably announces that the next Xbox won't support physical discs.

It reminds me of Google proudly boasting their headphone jack when Apple removed theirs, then OnePlus proudly boasting their headphone jack when Google removed theirs.
Samsung too (headphone jack, charger in the box). Apt username btw :)

#65Initially I thought this was a useless/dumb idea. On reflection, I like it - it's weird. Old internet weird. Like someone with a couple hundred bucks and some time on their hands wants to do something they think is fun or funny... it feels human. I think we need more of this. Extra points for using a sketchy o365 form that looks like a scam.
Felt the same way initially, but you are very much right that this feels like a throwback to a more playful time about twenty years ago. Put in a request for the OpenBSD src repository, which is too big to fit on a CD these days and I am looking forward to see if/how they square that circle. OpenBSD used to ship their code on CDs up until about ten years ago, so it is a bit of a fun throwback in that way as well.

From literally the first few sentences:
> If we can make you a CD, it may take a few weeks to reach you.
They just won’t send it to you. Also keep in mind that they say it has to be your repo - not sure how they’re verifying that but you probably won’t get it for that reason too.

#68> I confirm I own this repository and grant GitHub permission to press it to a CD
They're concerned about copyright for burning a public repo to a CD, but sucking up everything for AI training was ok?

Same stunt Samsung pulls when Apple does something like remove the headphone jack.

#70One Linux kernel please, the 87320be9f0d24fce67631b7eef919f0b79c3e45c vintage
Is this the one with a hash collision?
