Depending how long they had used the service they probably saved more than €150 just by not paying subscriptions to all the services they would need for the same content. Cost of doing business?

Then again maybe this is just the honeymoon period which bluesky soaks up as many users as it can before the enshittification begins to start wringing profit out of the enterprise? Time will te if the hate is justified or just sour grapes.

Converting from one lossless to another is still transcoding as you are changing the encoding format of the data. The conversion being lossy or not is related to the choice of formats, not the process itself.

Hyperbole, any mirror organisms we cook up will be simple and inefficient since they won't be able to make easy use of the abundance of material that is the wrong chirality for their biochemistry.
