@General_Effort no

@SilentStriker I was one of the Gen X “computer babies”

About 95% of the stuff I had was pirated throughout the 80s and 90s.

It was common as hell.

@timewarp @juergen why would I want direct sales? The whole point of buying from a dealer is that you get after sales support.

@absurdity_of_it_all I’m running Friendica on a Debian virtual machine with 5 gigs of ram allocated to it. The physical hardware is an M2 Mac Mini.

@Joker Do we need to start running our own DNS servers?

@fu @Coskii @True If there is, then I am also unaware of it.

@Coskii @True “home taping is killing music”. They’ve been on the same short sighted, cutting their nose off to spite their face, thing for decades.

Every study shows that piracy increases demand for “legitimate” consumption too, but they will literally drive themselves into bankruptcy rather than have one single pirated copy in existence. Muppets.
