@stevel @lazygamereviews #Funfact:

#Microsoft actually knows they have no leverage in reality, which is why when #Lenovo, #Dell & #hp came to them to demand better #terms or they'd switch to #Linux, Microsoft decided to pay them $25 per #Windows Pro preinstall instead.

• I think what is needed is not just Linux-friendly #hardware, but explcitly Windows-unfriendly hardware and #software.

Tho the only reason Microsoft's managment hasn't canceled #OTP #CCSS and replaced it with #SaaS-only shit is because they'd instantly piss off too many #customers and #ValueRemoving #rentseekers that run the entire "#Antivirus" cottage industry.

• Remember: Noone asked for a #CopilotPC or #Copilot or #AI bullshit, and when #consumers are given a fair choice they'd refuse to pay the premium for WinShit which is the inferior option.

#SoftwarePatents should be #illegal as they only exist to #profit #ValueRemoving #RentSeekers!

@patcharcana because "#AI" is a #ValueRemoving hinderance!

@resieguen die #GEMAvermutung wird von denen stets geflext, sofern #Kreative sich nicht mit #Klarnamen selbst-doxxen - selbst wenn diese nachweislich keine Mitglieder bei irgendeiner #Verwertungsgesellschafft und bei keinem #Verleger / #Plattenlabel / ... unter Vertrag sind.

• Gab dazu auch schon #Gerichtsurteile in #Deutschland wo dies bestätigt wurde!

Ich stelle mir die Frage was passiert wenn #Musiker*innen, #Komponist*innen u.ä. ihr Zeug explizit so lizensieren dass der #GEMA (und dem Rest der #Copyrightmafia) die #Lizensierung explizit verboten wird!

• IMHO gehört die GEMA-Vermutung (welche als Teil der #NS-#Kulturpolitik eingeführt wurde) ersatzlos gestrichen und verboten!

Auch stelle ich mir die Frage wie das mit nicht-deutschsprachigen / nicht in #Deutschland oder der #EU ansässigen #Musikschaffende|n aussieht.

• Müssen die im Zweifelsfalle per #Anwalt ne #Unterlassungserklärung an die GEMA schicken lassen???

@christopherkunz #UnpopularOpinion: The #ValueRemoving #RentSeeking nature of #SSL-#Certificates is the problem.

Solutions that tried to unfuck this ( @cacert ) got cockblocked by #Apple and #Microsoft whilst @letsencrypt which basically provides certificates to everyone and everything gets a free pass.

• Because #SiliconValley is more equal than others!

@papageier @chrisstoecker +9001%

Ich finde diesen #Abozwang absolute shice & "#ValueRemoving" weil es darauf abzielt #digital unbequemer als #Print zu machen, und das kann es nicht sein.

• Entweder ist digital genauso bequem und nicht teurer (eher billiger) als Print oder ich verweiger' mich dem!

Und dann bitte nen #PDF der Print-Ausgabe oder besser gleich nen #ePub - hauptsache ohne #DRM weil Papierausgabe hat auch kein DRM!

@Daojoan and exactly that is the absurdity of it.

• If they were forced to do this full circle, they'd essentially shut down everthing, sell off all the assets and cash out.

Oh nevermind, that's the whole #ManagmentCulture for the last 30+ years where some #ValueRemoving #Manager just kills R&D, cashes out bonuses and when the company dies in 5-25 years their successors' successor is forced to hold the bag.

• I've seen that in #IT and elsewhere…

@Linux #ClownFlare is literally a #ValueRemoving #RentSeeker that #MITM's traffic to capture #Logins in #PlainText & also acts as #RogueISP hosting everything from #CSAM to #Cybercrime and #Terrorism.

• There is no legitimate reason to use #CloudFlare for anything!

@denmanrooke same goes for #ValueRemoving #rentseekers like #CollectingAgencies that only payout 9,0909% of all their revenue to artists!

i.e. #GEMA...

@katja nodds in agreement #NSAbook got caught #leeching and literally.configuring their #BitTorrent nodes.not to seed a single bit of data, thus be a #ValueRemoving #NetNegative.

@cR0w @troyhunt @dangoodin @benjojo @Viss @matthew_d_green

Seriously, #ClownFlare are at best a #ValueRemoving #MITM and more often than not a #RogueISP who's business model is a #RacketeeringScheme that should not exist to begin with.

• There is no legitimate reason to use #Cloudflare!

@kajer #CloudFlare is a #RogueISP and their "business" is at best #ValueRemoving #rentseeking but mire iften than not just a digital #RacketeeringScheme!

@Viss #CloudFlare is a #RogueISP known to offer Services in #Russia and to #CyberCriminals...

#ClownFlare is also a #ValueRemoving #rentseeker who's core product / service is essentially a #Racketeering Scheme and should not exist as any competent hoster offers #DDoS protection free of charge...

@kajer well, @mozillaofficial DESERVES the #hate and #heat for betraying #Firefox users!

• I still want them to surrender it and hand it over to @torproject so #TorBrowser becomes the new #Upstream, which would also normalize #Tor useage and finally cancel #ClownFlare and other #ValueRemoving #rentseekers for good!

@Laird_Dave @ChristianRiegel @dyfustic Vorallen abschaffubg der "#Managementkultur" wo einzelbe #ValueRemoving-#Anzugträger langfristig Zeugs kaputtmachen dürfen um kurzfristig "#LineGoesUp" hinzubekommen.

• Ggf. Sollte auch über ein #Verbot von #Aktiengesellschaften und verpflichtende Rechtsformänderung in #Genossenschaften "ergebnisoffen diskutiert" werden...

@aborigen the evenbshittier part is when one can't avoid #ValueRemoving #Middlemen like #Stripe or #PayPal because even big-ass #GAFAMs are either unable or unwilling to facilitate #SEPA #WireTransfer|s instead.

• Which is really absurd because those are cheaper, faster and simpler.

My recommendation would be to go with #NowPayments (yes they also settle in fiat!) cuz they have no issues re: NSFW content.

• Sadly #Monero is the only truly global payment option on the market.

@gimulnautti @khobochka The only thing that #RoyalitySchemes like that created are rich #CollectingAgencies that act as #ValueRemoving #Rentseekers (i.e. #GEMA only pas out 9,0909% of all the royalities collected and innan intransparent manner!) on every "Reproduction Device" (i.e. printers, burners, copiers, scanners) and "Blank (Recordable) Media" (i.e. USB drives, SD csrds, recordable BD-RWs) AND more criminalization.

• The only thing that works effectively is to #ban said #Scrapers and commit #AssetDenial against them!

Anything else is just not gonna work...

@khobochka guess why I maintain a #Scraper #blocklist?

• In fact I know multiple people and organizations that decide to basically redirect #ValueRemoving #Scrapers like #GPTbot, #ByteSpider (which literally #DDoS'd #MattKC because #ClownFlare are a criminally incompetent #RogueISP!) to #Hetzner's 10GB Speedtest file which can be found at http://hil-speed.hetzner.com/10GB.bin as an extra middlefinger!

#Cloudflare #hetznered #ByteDance #ChatGPT

Also the #Vsauce music is very #remixable form a #music POV, tho I won't because I despise having to deal with #MusicLicensing in a juristiction that doesn't have any "#FairUse" provision whatsoever and has #ValueRemoving #Rentseekers like #GEMA lobbying for #Cyberfacist bs.

@dankeykang And then the same #Contentmafia has the audacity to complain about people who just want to chug a file into #VLC and be done with it.

• Bonus points if the same #ValueRemoving #Rentseekers that demand "#Respect" for their #IP won't even offer the consumer a legal and fair way to buy a #disc that works #offline as a #PhysicalMedia.

I know for a fact at least a dozen movies who didn't get any #rerelease - #Streaming or #disc - that are thus "#unobtainable" outside of #UsedMarket and thus #scalpers and #piracy.

• It's not as if people "don't want to pay" it's that they can't even get shit if they are able and willing to do so!
