Which is why I am incredulous at the idea that a Blu-ray player needs to connect to the internet
Is it really that hard to imagine a future where DRM encroaches further and further on us? Your fuckin blue ray player might not connect to the internet but it is still region locked.
fucking everything connects to the internet these days dude. You fridge, you tv, hell probably even your toothbrush what the hell comment is this? “what you are driving at” is a world that no longer exists, this smart tech shit is being shoved down all our throats as we speak.
Still stupid as fuck to compare the Stasi to the Nazis.
Just pirate everything jfc
Yeah but this one is over 60 years old and uncirculated
upon further investigation this thing might be worth like $1200 lol
Yeah that would make sense, I had no idea about the stockpile thing, got any sources I could read up on that. In fact that could be its own interesting post lol.
No they are actually much much different. This is one from 2003

It isn’t worth much ($10 at most) but it’s a neat little historical artifact I thought yall might find interesting. Mainly due to its remarkably well preserved condition, it feels just as crisp as brand new bank notes I get at work in my till sometimes.
lmao this is a pointless question
oh neat I had no idea. Yeah they do feel like a novelization of a JRPG
Oooh I love the artstyle. I would really love to see an anime adaptation of Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn or Stormlight series I feel like they would translate really well to anime.
Open source projects have no potential for long term profitability unless those projects get support from for profit companies, thus compromising the nature of open source.
people need to stop supporting projects with no potential for long-term profitability unless those projects can survive without any support from for-profit companies.
You see the contradiction here right?
No, open source has been historically exploited by corporations.
The project is jointly managed by a group of volunteers located around the world, using the Internet and the Web to communicate, plan, and develop the server and its related documentation.
This is what I mean though. Most groundbreaking development is done voluntarily or with public funds. It is antithetical to capitalism.
Capital comes in AFTER it is proven useful and/or profitable.
Corporate
Open source
Pick one. Capitalism cannot abide anything not being commodified. “Corporate open source” is an inherently contradictory term.
I’ve even heard people tell they’re designed to keep government and federal agents away.
more likely that they are trying to stay off the radar of big ip holders. That is who would shine the feds eye of sauron on you and if the feds want to look at your files they will.

I regret to make you aware of a comment above in this very thread from someone trying to do exactly that.
And practically all western apps are snooped on by western intelligence agencies. So what? This is hardly news.
