Brand written big
What the product is written super tiny
If I could enshrine 1(one) regulation into law it would be to reverse that.
Not really
Windows 7 was pretty, it was customisable, it was stable. And microshaft had yet to start fucking about with ads everywhere and invasive "features". Peak windows right there.
XP was also pretty good for its time. At that point Linux and OSX had caught up and surpassed it in many ways, but it did what it had to without getting in the way.
95 was an innovator if anything, ahead of pretty much anything else on desktop at the time, even if it DID fart and die whenever someone looked at it funny.
It was always a proprietary creation by an anticompetitive tech megacorp, and therefore bad from THAT angle, but it didn't start being truly shite from a pure user experience angle until like. 8.
OK fuck
The first picture was a cute silly meme out of context
But the rest of the conic made me super emotional.
Because they don't want the workers voting.
If you "can't go to the ballot because you need to work" you are a plebeian, and so they have a way of excluding you while technically not excluding you.
A lot of modern oligarchy is powered by these technicalities. Technically everyone has a "right to" participate in the system, but the whole apparatus is rigged in such a way that in material reality only the same nobility caste that has called the shots since the bronze fucking age gets to call the shots.
The only thing you got wrong is that the toilet extension would be a third-party thing, and Gnome devs would actively insult anyone who dared be upset they broke it.
I hope this becomes popular enough that a lot of major distros start adopting it as a default
Specifically because I want to see turbo-weirdos talk about how higher-quality cursors are "bloat" or "against KISS" for the next 10 years. 💀
Animator works on show. Show airs.
Show has no physical DVD/BD version
Show only exists on streaming service or on DRM-locked "buy and own but not really" services.
Show gets pulled from internet because some corporate license expired or some shit like that.
Show no longer exists anywhere other than the corporation's hard drive and pirates' seedboxes.
Animator needs to show their own work as part of a video portfolio to a prospective employer. A scene they made for a well-loved show is great portfolio material.
The corporation ain't sharing. Not until someone sues for the right to get a hard copy of the show they worked on -- Which given how the entire American state does when corporate interests fight any other interest, is something no one animator is willing to do as it'll probably not just drain their finances, BUT has a legitimate chance of fucking over every OTHER animator down the line.
Ergo.
Animator needs to pirate it.
In ye olden days, shows often aired only on TV and didn't get VHS releases. But animators would often just. Tape the show they worked on. Off of the telly. With a VCR.
Which in practice is the same thing as what the pirates are doing, creating a local copy of media that is airing, but corporations don't want you to realise that. So. Here we are.
Methinks right wing preppers know exactly what they are doing and are preparing to rob and loot the community-building efforts that other people create communally after the fall. But hey, that's just a theory. 💅
Finally: ClosedSubtitles
EDIT: Also, MAN, a lot of straight up bootlicking in this thread. What the fuck kind of pirates are you? lmao
There IS a fancy term for a fuck buddy. The word is "paramour"
But if you actually used it, people would think you're pretentious lmao.
Having sniffed around the Linux community for years, I feel like whatever flaws SystemD has as a computer program are of tertiary importance when faced with the thing that really matters:
Yeah I admire Greta, but anyone who's been paying attention had to know this would eventually happen.
Punch enough knife-tips and you'll get cut. Greta wouldn't shut up and wouldn't sell out, now she's going to die a lot.
