What's a process where you prefer the old way of doing things instead of how it's done now? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I do miss physically owning media. A lot of physical media still decays, though, so not a panacea.

I prefer digital media that is locally stored. Many complaints I see about digital media revolves around DRM or a service's ability to remove media that you think you "own".

I think locally stored media solves that without taking us back to the days of a shelf of hundreds of DVDs.

I do own some physical media like certain very old PC games but only because there is no good digital option available that's more convenient.

    I use locally stored digital media, but I still love my shelves of DVDs, CDs, and paper books. The CDs get ripped to FLAC and mostly left on the shelf thereafter, but I do still enjoy taking a movie off the shelf and loading it into the player.
