Funny how we jumped from an implied personal use to an enterprise use all of a sudden.
To which the same basic rules apply. The added problem on enterprise is that you have legally binding contracts to force the company to stay with a bad software.
You can’t know until you try it.
Professionals are trained on already available answers, often target marketed, which moves forward the penetration of such answers into broad society.
This does not mean they are good or bad, just popular.
Any alternative solution will always be compared to the more popular, even if better.
“This program is really expensive and I keep having to buy a new computer every two years because it gets so slow.”
You’re being fucked with, when there are alternatives out there.
But that is none of my business.
GOG
Just the hability to have my entire collection in a backup disk I can keep in my drawer, to install and play with no need for an internet connection makes all the difference.
Bonus: no DRM
Grew up surronded by law enforcement
There are more countries in the world besides America, where any chump can get into “law enforcement” after 6 weeks of trainning.
In most of the world, getting a badge implies a serious and throughrough selection and scrutiny process.
You can’t even imagine the amount of problems a simple grunt can cause in any given process, without going against orders.
Following due process is often enough to bog down processes to a point whatever is being done is rendered useless when finally achieved.
Wouldn’t it be possible to move the entire library into the dark web and leave just a few snorkels behind?
Or move it to a model similar to zeronet?
Mind if I ask something?
What is the origin of always wanting higher and higher definitions lately?
It comes to a point where it makes no objective difference between resolutions for the human eye.
And I’ve seen TVs advertised as being “sharper and brighter than real life”. The only thing the image made for me was getting my eyes sore after staring at the screen for a few seconds.
I’m still from the time when the graphics on the cover were better than the actual graphics and that is something I don’t miss but come on… when is enough enough?
After reading the article this is yet again the same argument that if nothing is done, artists and creators are the one being hurt by the piracy.
Except that it is not.
The claim for banning anything and everything that can be potentially subverted to facilitate access to protected intelectual property is ridiculous. The world would grind to a halt if such request was to be actually enforced, as anyone participating in this thread has already stated.
But what if we were to actually jump on this band wagon?
By definition, any word spoken on a podcast, any video on a video platform, any word or sentence jotted down on any social platform, is intelectual property if by any means can be monetized.
Let’s claim our share of the revenue gained from our intelectual property. Let’s demand that by definition every individual is protected by copyright law, even if we need to create associations to collectively represent us.
How would that work against this pile of idiocy?
Nah… he is actually and very subtly admitting to be a pastafarian.
They accomplish that and the already diminutive presence they have in the world will shrink even more.
