That’s actually pretty good. And then they’re open to getting sued when caught.
I guess it could be done on an instance basis, although I’m not sure how happy fediverse users will be if their instance has an official policy of open-sourcing (or maybe it’s public-domaining?) all their content by default.
I feel the same way about MeGusta — x265, always great size/quality ratio.
Thank [some deity] for video chats, those little bastards couldn’t spell to save their lives 😅
Isn’t that a bit too much like beating a dead horse?
Lifetime jail + lifetime jail for X generations of offspring, depending on severity?
Or instead of jailing children at birth, maybe just confiscating X yachts, depending on severity.
Much better, very good detail 😅
How about ‘artist’s death’, full stop?
Do you have any links to articles about how to use i2p?
That seems like a good idea.
You missed an S in enShittification.
And I completely agree, Cory seems to be good at coining terms and making them stick 👍

A winning strategy 👌
I think we need to look a bit back in time for the answer:
“If they pay a penie or two pence more for the reddinesse of them…let them looke to that, a foole and his money is soone parted.”

It’s pretty funny how you can’t keep I/he and my/his straight in your post. And the “not mine” label is a nice touch! 😂
I think you owe it to yourself to make this into a post on /r/amitheasshole. I have a feeling the results will surprise you.
Zorg ZF-1s fired!
Was introduced to Merlin a few weeks ago on a scout nature course, and I love it so much!
I’m using it a sort of real-life pokémon game, trying to grow my list of found birds (Life List). So far I’m up to 36! 😍
Don’t have any data to back it up, but I’ve been using Photoshop for 25+ years, and got the clear impression that this was 100% part of marketing; from what I gathered from friends back then, pirating Photoshop was so astonishingly simple that it seemed deliberate. If you’ve got the software that’s the easiest to get hold of for kids and students, that’s what they grow up with, that’s what they know, that’s what they expect to have access to in future employment situations.
Now that they’ve managed to pull off Subscriptions (and consequently fucking us all over by making it a legitimate business model, which instantly spread to, what, +60% of all paid software?), I’m sure they’ve calculated that the higher bar for gaining access to their software is more than adequately offset by the readings on the yard stick in their Scrooge McDuck money vault building(s).
And still, nobody has managed to make something that can replace their bloated, shitty software for professional users.
Exactly! Seems like a very “Yo Dawg!”-moment to me.
The less Microsoft I need, the better, and recently switched from VS Code to VS Codium, which, I believe, puts me at 100% free of Microsoft 😍
(Barring some M$ code in other software I use that I don’t know about)
