Lovely pic. Brings back lots of memories. I use to live there, loved it. Got out before…well, the rich tech moguls flew in like locust and ruined what once was.
I looked at the second one. The closest it gets to being able to back up the claim is link to a deleted tweet. If there’s a tweet you want to report on, capture it in the internet archive or something. Always make a certifiable copy of incriminating evidence if possible.
Exactly this! I’m funneling stats from all 3 of my Proxmox nodes. Running VMs, running LXC containers, disk usage, disk latency, network usage, etc. Any stat you can think of monitoring is offered up via the Proxmox API
I had a similar experience switching from my GTX 1070 to a 6700XT last year. Things had improved significantly over the years I used the 1070 but the experience has been overall much more seamless after switching
Honestly not being able to see her was the worst part of the past year. I can’t have her where I’m at right now but I arranged my schedule around my friend’s so I can come out after work everyday.
Great shot! I’ve only ever been to San Francisco once (I’m from Europe). Me and my dad were there for 4 days, and the whole time the bridge was completely enveloped in fog.
I mean, if we extend this logic though, stealing a license is still harmful to the person who possesses the copyright. Breaking into a hotel room deprives the current possessor the exclusive right to possess the room; stealing a piece of software deprives the copyright holder the exclusive right to control their copyrighted work.
Like, I’m not even anti-piracy for the most part. I just think the comparison in the OP is bad and doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Someone else in this thread said it best – “just enjoy ya loot.”
Depends on what the understanding is when we exchange money for a digital good. If we agreed that I can own it forever but you then pull the rug out from under us, then there’s an argument to be made.
He probably thinks that if he takes the car it denies someone else the ability to use it. Do you see how that is different? If you pay the full price for the car there is no expectation of shared use and you can take it apart and change out the parts or drive it off a cliff if you want. Most modern software has Eula restrictions on what you can do with it and you pay for a lifetime despite your use not at all restricting the use of the software by others.
Until we live in a world where people have equal access to information and essential technology piracy is a moral imperative.
Should something which costs a few hours worth of work in the developed word cost three weeks worth of work in a less developed country, just to make a publishing company worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars a few extra bucks? Of course not!
Every other argument is a moot point to me. If I hadn’t pirated Photoshop and other software when I was a poor kid I wouldn’t have the six figure career I have today. The ultrarich steal from us every day in more ways than I can count. Maybe when they start being held accountable I will start caring about their bottom line.
