I don’t get it. You think laws will stop existing if we stop paying some fat cats for sitting on some copyrights?

I also don’t care what I’m allowed to do, I don’t believe in copyrights, so you can’t really argue in favor of it to me.

That’s semantics. They’re charging it because they’re afraid you’re copying copy-protected materials, which is piracy. It’s a piracy tax.

is not about paying for pirate copies, but it’s a compensation for the loss due to the right to a private copy.

Sounds an awful lot like a piracy tax… We pay this tax on any device which can store bits, it’s not just some storage mediums. If you buy a phone, you’re paying this tax to a “”“non-profit”“” org called CopyDan whose sole job is to make sure a few select fat cat copyright holders get paid. If I don’t break their copyright, I still have to pay as if I did. Therefore, it’s a piracy tax.

Actually it might be blankmedieafgiften, that sounds far more correct. I was having trouble finding the exact term and ChatGPT was very confident (I know…) when I eventually gave up and asked it.

I don’t have to worry about any of this because I live in Denmark! It is not possible for me to pirate stuff because it implies that I did not pay, which I did as there is a special piracy tax!

We call it ‘blankmedieafgiften’.

we call it ‘kulturarvsafgiften’ and apparently you can’t google it which I’m not gonna imply any conspiracies about but yknow

such as TerraMaster

The reputable brand that quietly updated my device in the middle of the night and reset my password to a randomly generated one, locking me out of the device? That brand? The brand that runs their OS off of a USB stick inside the device so it’s always a ticking time bomb that might just stop working randomly? That one?

I’ve turned down many self-hosted options due to the complexity of the setup and maintenance.

Do you agree with this?

Yes. If I have to spend an hour reading your documentation just to find out how to run the damn thing, I’m not going to run it.

I hate docker with a passion because it seems like the people who develop on it forego writing documentation because docker “just works” except when it doesn’t.

I archived one of my github repos the other day because someone requested I add docker support. It’s a project I made specifically to not use docker…

Danish healthcare is covered but good luck getting any treatment

I just cancelled my premium tuta account because they wouldn’t stop trying to upsell and now I have to look at their ads here!?

It’s a joke about how VALVEe runs their franchise Team Fortress 2
