It seems that the only purpose these executives have is to siphon money straight up the organization to themselves. Do they provide any use to these studios other than that?

I don't think that Libby itself is. There's DRM and while there is probably a way to strip it, I don't think that is easy and/or publicly shared. But Overdrive, which is Libby's predecessor, allows for DRM free MP3 downloads. But they've been trying to sunset Overdrive for a long time. The Windows desktop program needed to download the MP3 files is no longer linked on their site, for example (but is still downloadable if you know the exact link). I'm honestly not sure why it even still works unless it's to comply with some ancient contract they have with a library somewhere.

Unironically the library. Then just use something like Audiobookshelf to organize your collection.

Probably his own indifference. He clearly has no morals, and he'll be surrounded by even more comically evil villains, but I suspect they'll have a problem getting him to care about their pet evil plans. If it isn't making him money or jerking off his ego, he seems to have, traditionally at least, not cared.

Who did we think was going to ensure we drink the verification can?

Literally the meme where he's asking if he might be wrong, but decides that no, the it's everyone else that is wrong.

I wish we were, through taxes. Though we'd probably just pay Boeing forty-eleventy billion dollars to never complete the project.

I'm still salty that we never got a proper sequel to the original Prey.

Nice app, you have there. Would be a shame if something were to happen to it.

No I get it. I don't like them, but I can live with it if I have to. Luckily my local library has enough DVDs to fill my Jellyfin server. :3

If I'm being honest, I can handle an ad in my pause menu as long as it doesn't interfere with the rest of operating the device. If I can unpause and reach the closed captioning or audio menu, fine, whatever. What really gets my goat is pre-roll and mid-roll ads. Can't stand them.

It's rage bait. It just a polarizing content meant to rile up the masses and make us argue and bicker. It takes some societal grievances and amplifies them needlessly.
