No ones will to pay for good programmers and if they are they’re not willing to give them the resources or time.

Copyright Infringement. Interesting that one of the few forms of it that’s actually a criminal offense instead of a civil liability, is also one of the few forms practiced by normal people.
This is especially heinous in cases where no one makes money. You shouldn’t be treated like a fucking criminal for sharing art or information (unless it’s nuclear launch codes, CSAM, or some other obscenely illegal/immoral shit.)
Because at its base form that’s all “piracy” is. An attempt to turn sharing into a bad word.
Wait are there two taints? Which one is the greater one?
Why would you stream a game that mobile devices have been playably emulating for over a decade?
Have they ported retroarch over for you iOS guys yet?
Edit: Yes.
HELL YEAH BROTHER!
ITS FULL OF JUICY, MANLY GUNS!
ANY HANDSOME GUY WITH A NICE SET OF GUNS GETS A SPOT ON MY PAGE.
The fact that you’re tying an unrelated position made in bad faith to a legitimate conversation about corporate malware and free software. That is what pisses me off. That is what this is about. That’s what this entire fucking thing is about.
I mean if you had at least talked about red flag laws, or limiting credit card-based purchases of weapons for buyers under 30 we could talk. Even then its unrelated and completely derails the conversation, but its at least an interesting talking point.
Its not about my beliefs about gun control. Its the fact you don’t fucking read what your responding to. Why should any one give a shit about what you post when you refuse to read anything other than what you’ve written yourself?
Fuck off with the bad faith arguments, half-baked replies, and strawman bullshit.
Not sure what in your broken fucking head makes you think I’m a conservative, or why it makes sense to compare me to them. You deserve a medal for reading comprehension.
Go back to eating crayons.
You’re probably politically closer to them than I am, you pseudo-conservative, milquetoast, incrementalist , neo-liberal fuck.
Where do you think you are?
I like how you both completely ignored my points and went off on an unrelated tangent again. What makes you think I give a shit what some fuckin tools made the state gun?
if anything, I find it to be a tasteless display of reactionary bullshit. Adults acting as children. Basically in the same ballpark as putting warning labels on guns/manuals that read: “Warning: Potential School Shooter”
Neither your nor they have presented an actual solution to an issue. You’re just suggesting unrelated, reactionary bullshit meant to push buttons.
Its not that I’m pro-gun, or anti-gun. Its that you don’t have any meaningful suggestions, and you have no idea how to present a solution. You don’t even seem to be able to accurately identify other peoples political beliefs or the ideas they’re trying to express.
Same way it will stop kids from social media. You know not fucking at all.
Its almost like those warnings are intended to prevent accidental misuse and instill caution among its users. Obviously its not there to magically instill you with a working moral compass. Just as malware warning wouldn’t. There’s nothing new you’re adding, and again you’ve missed the point entirely.
Also what’s with the focus on kids and social media? My comment was specifically about the state of the commercial software/computing industry as a whole.
Didn’t address what I wrote. La La la
How not? Humans don’t always listen to warnings, the warning labels on guns are some of the loudest/most obvious out there, and for good reason. I don’t know if you knew this but people ARE MORE LIKELY TO READ OBVIOUS LABELS. Here’s an idea, next time you accuse me of missing the point, how about you actually show how? if you need an example look at the first paragraph of this comment.
The same way it will stop the communist plot of social media to contaminate and unpurify our precious bodily fluids.
Lmao, what the fuck are you on about? This isn’t about thinking of the children, this is about don’t attatch your unrelated bad faith arguments to my free software evangialism. I’m here to spread the good word of the AGPLv3.
It isn’t about feelings. School shootings happen more in the US
I never said they didn’t, and that wasn’t the point of what I was saying? Those warnings are for the user, not those around them. How the fuck is the warning printed on a gun/gun box going to help victims?
You’re just attaching bad faith arguments to a completely unrelated statement which is bad for both free software and the anti-gun violence movement.
And? So does cocaine.
Recreational drugs should be legalized, with sensible regulations for each specific drug/category. Certain things should probably only be sold to people who are already addicted. But they should still be legal. Shitty point.
That’s good. As a former IT guy I know that the natural urge of humans is always to read the manual first.
You, me, and half of this site, platform, Fediverse? Point being is that the warning labels on guns are much louder, much more obvious, and much more present then the EULA most corporate software pushes.
That’s sounds bad. You probably shouldn’t use it then. Notice how it doesn’t work for guns? No? Let me explain it to you.
You can choose not to be on Instagram, you can not choose to not be shot dead. The state requires me to send my kids to school but does nothing to require that they are safe at school from gun owners.
No shit, but making a bad faith argument that does nothing to actually solve the issue is just sticking a spoke in your wheel. Please tell me how putting “Warning: potential school shooter.” on a gun is going to actually prevent violent gun crime?
If anything that sounds like a fucking advertisement for the sort of people who go commit school shootings.
Regardless of how you feel about gun control, guns don’t actively work against the people who buy them.
They can certainly be used or kept in dangerous ways that lead to tragedy, but they do exactly what you tell them. They even come with a manual full of warnings, and a big giant label that says something to the effect of “READ MANUAL BRFORE OPERATING.” Many of them even have it etched into the firearm itself.
That is not the case with EULA washed legal malware.
Not on the ps2 I don’t think.
Edit: Nope looks like they only fucked that up on windows.
No but there should be “Malicious by Design” stickers for:
Im aware this would pretty much require all commercial tech products to carry one of these labels. To that I say good. Large tech firms have been weaponizing the computer illiteracy of the average smartphone user so they can normalize corporate malware. It’s so bad they’ve even made up new names for types of malware to make it sound okay:
If you work for DARPA and send anything near sensitive materials over iMessage, and something happens over it, that’s on you for being dumb.
People who work with sensitive information should know better than to use personal communication methods. If they don’t that’s their fault.
Any workplace where this is a worry, this should and probably will be drilled into your head from day one.
Be careful saying shit like Stallman was right. Dude did some important shit, spearheaded the formation of the free software movement.
Then again he’s also a pedo, or at the very least a pedo sympathizer.
Yet another fake currency for drug dealers.
Well yeah you don’t wanna make illegal online transactions with a fake currency the government owns.
Plus that ones got an encrypted ledger so its got a real use case there.
That being said if you got a problem with drug dealers, where the fuck do you get your drugs?
Yeah lotta homegrown bedroom hackers will outdo any churned out bootcamp programmers, and absolutely compete with college graduates. Though for everyone of those there’s 100 claiming to be one.
