I pirate because I’m not paying for a profitable product that I could otherwise get for free.

Right!? It’s not like it cost money to create that work! Let all the schmucks pay for it!

Why do you hate piracy?

Hey man, I pirate too. But it’s nothing to do with cost, and I don’t fabricate bullshit justifications for it.

Gaben himself in interviews says all data points towards the best way to combat piracy is by providing a good service/convenience.

And yet people still pirate Steam games all day ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Then they started becoming bastards in every single aspect of convenience and cost so back to sailing.

ie: “I justify theft to myself because they charge more than I personally think they’re worth.”

All the more reason.

You’re not different people though, other than some of you are honest and some of you are just conjuring up bullshit justifications.

only ever used windows, but I’m getting fed up with the bullshit

Well that’s why I switched 🤷

Drove me fucking insane that I couldn’t uninstall Edge. Tried a few times but it always reinstalled itself. It’s just the audacity to say “no fuck you” to the person who is giving you money. Can’t disable Cortana, can’t disable all the XBOX bullshit, not to mention it’s just becoming more and more like Android where the entire OS becomes dedicated to collecting your data. Linux has none of that, and that’s enough for me.

I’m also nervous about using an OS I’m not familiar with for business purposes right away.

Couple of solutions for this:

  1. Dual boot. When you have a hard time, just restart and boot into Windows.
  2. You can’t transfer storage across OS so make sure to use cloud storage for your work files.

So hilarious to see this on this sub after people assured me time and time again that “we only pirate because prices are too high!”

Probably will just be more like their own flavor of Android where they lock down the OS and insert all kinds of malware.

Great, let me just whip out my computer science degree to figure out how the fuck to even do that.
