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!”

helenslunch,

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

…what corporation?

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

LOL you’re just so kind, sharing your stolen media. Practically a saint, ain’t ya?

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.”

helenslunch,

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

Why do you hate piracy?

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Based on what?

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

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!

LOL profit is the motive of literally every business on the planet. You don’t even need “basic economics” to understand that.

As James Downey once said: “What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this sub is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Yes, once again, I’m very aware of basic economics. What is your point? Is it your hope that they will stop producing media for you to watch?

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

My point is that they will make less profit if they are forced to.

Yeah, you said that already. I’m still not understanding what that has to do with this discussion.

People just need to have higher standards, which you are proving they don’t.

LOL what? Please do elaborate

helenslunch, (edited )
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

You are arguing that if they make less profit, then they won’t make media at all which isn’t true.

Buddy, you’re the one that said “or they make nothing at all” , not me.

You really should study basic economics.

For the third time, none of this has anything to do with economics, basic or otherwise.

It’s sad watching you laugh and dismiss facts because they describe how you’re being taken advantage of.

It’s sad watching you struggle with the difference between not paying for something and choosing to steal it. It’s sad watching you poorly try to justify crimes because, in your opinion, it’s too expensive. I’m not being taken advantage of. I pay what I think the service is worth, and when it fails to meet that value proposition, I simply don’t watch it

Typically, personally, I will subscribe to a service for a month or 2 at a time because by that time I have consumed everything interesting that it has to offer.

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.

All the more reason.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

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

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

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

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

What’s wrong with this, exactly?

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

And what’s wrong with speaker phone?

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

But there’s no one around him.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Voice message, not voicemail. It’s like a text message but with your voice.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Feeling personally attacked I see.

Uhhhh nope, you just made that up.

Well since you are completely oblivious, it’s rude and annoying, no one wants to hear your conversation.

Pretty sure the person on the phone with me wants to hear the conversation…

If you’re referring to being in a crowd of people, I understand, but that’s not what’s happening in the photo.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

There’s literally nothing about the OP to indicate anything about being in public.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Yeah I’m not typing out a long ass text message.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

No you should listen to my voice message because I’m not calling 😀
