There’s some weird people with a hate boner for Mozilla and nobody knows why. I suspect they’re paid by a competitor.

Unfortunate that he got caught. He was simply playing the same game the corps do but since he isn’t mega rich he gets punished.

I used to have a program called netlimiter (needed to throttle individual aop downloads on a shared WISP that was slow as balls). I bought a lifetime license like 10 years ago because I liked the software. A couple years ago they got rid of the old version and bumped me up to the new version. About a year ago I got an email saying something along the lines of “pay our new subscription fee or you lose your access” and basically put me on a trial account. I pirated their old version years ago to see if I liked the software enough after a couple months. I no longer use that software.

Another time I bought a lifetime access for a game on patreon. About 2 years later the dev switched to a subscription only fee to access all the new content and never released anything from updated versions to the older public release. So essentially I bumped down to a free tier of access to a game I paid for.

I will pirate until I die. Fuck these douchebags.

Not to mention they were warned many times before about serving coffee that’s too hot. The woman got such a huge settlement because the judge was tired of McDonald’s crap

When was the last time a corporation got anything other than a slap on the wrist and a small donation to the government just so they could keep doing what they’re doing?

No you see the corporations will just lobby until the courts get enough money to classify AI as it’s own individual entity, just like with citizens united.

Lol no they didn’t.

I was with a large organization as tech support and upper IT pushed out an update that corrupted everybody’s certificates to log into the network. Imagine having to talk 40k users, who most of them whined and bitched to us about having to do all this work to fix the computer, through a removal of the old certificate, reboot, get the new one after logging in with a backup account, rebooting again and verifying that they can log in. Each computer was about 20-40 minutes to get done. We only had about 50 of us working at peak hours. It took about 2 months of non stop calls to get them fixed.

DirecTV did that to my dad years ago. He called to cancel but they sat on it for 4 months and gave us service but didn’t stop sending bills. He just just stopped paying them until they started threatening legal action so he had to keep fighting them. Eventually they gave up.

Oh so it just affected you personally got it. So that’s where all this is coming from. Now that that’s settled you can kindly fuck off.

Preventing workers from doing their jobs doesn’t actually hurt them. At all. It just makes it annoying to work.

I used to use a sound card until it died. When I researched how to get good sound I found most people use a DAC/amp combo now. But onboard is usually good enough. It was a noticable upgrade but not sure if it was worth the money.

Oh well. If I can’t have any then the rich assholes shouldn’t either.

Also how the fuck does your analogy make any sense? "Keep cracking eggs (for the omelette) and you won’t have any left ( for the omelette you just made). Sick of clowns like you.
