@PhenomX6 @picandor @miscbrains @coolboymew Brings to mind ArcaOS as well
-
@coolboymew @PhenomX6 @miscbrains @picandor tbh by the time serials became commonly used as a method of copy protection, most copy protection used by commercial and shareware programs was simple bordering on braindead, so as long as the programs survive, its not especially difficult or time consuming reviving them (ofc there is good copy protection if you know where to look, but it's a lot rarer than most people think)

@coolboymew Precisely the reason why I gifted mine away. For "just werks" Nvidia on Linux, the only reliable option I've found is Pop!_OS
-
@coolboymew @hj @Nelenese Shareware episode is ~2MB, full is more but not too much
-
@coolboymew What for? I think Arch, Tumbleweed, or Nobara are pretty close to the only viable distros for me now because of updated gamescope etc.
-
@coolboymew Why?
-
@coolboymew The one time I will give a pass to folks breaking shopping cart etiquette
-
@mint @adiz @r000t In particular, FSE has comprehensive text archives going back almost 5 years and is the only way a lot of public posts from the pre eternal september era of fedi survive (several accounts by yours truly included)
-
@sjw It's a good thing Ubisoft is collapsing into itself in real time as we speak, my main concern is if any other AAAs get "wise ideas" from this and decide to copy it.
-
@Misato That's an interesting question! For me, my take is that while the influence of Japanese aesthetics in Western art and culture is only increasing year by year, it still isn't enough to stop the demand for Japanese creative works because (among other things) the prevailing view among a lot of Westerners, especially in the business world, is that the Western analogs to what the Japanese make are unserious and that they should be ideological propaganda pieces marketed either to children or to shut-in adults. Also the impact of piracy and widespread internet access in giving Westerners a taste for Japanese media can't be underrated as well.

@errante @gamercat The _proper_ V-E day
-
@errante @gamercat May 8th is V-E day in most Western countries, while May 9th is V-E day in CIS countries and Israel
-
@Moon @driftwood @meso I wonder how far things will go before he actually ends up breaking the law over something like this
-
@coolboymew @Amikke @alex And if it wasn't MINIX, they would have used some other RTOS. There really isn't much that actually gets prevented in the grand scheme of things, and the only way to a just and equitable scheme for software past the current status quo is copyright abolition.
-
@coolboymew @Amikke @alex Because they've been looking for something like Rust for quite a while. Really, the whole "memory safe language without garbage collection" premise was enough to sell most corpos sight unseen, ditto with the fact that it was designed and marketed as a drop-in replacement for C++ with the backing of a large company and not as a pure research project. It's like saying Java is some huge conspiracy against FOSS because it came out in the 90s and there was a push to rewrite Everything in it. The reality is just more complicated I'm afraid.
-
@deprecated_ii @josemanuel @coolboymew Nor is corporations abiding by GPL necessarily the Freedom Increasing outcome many advocates like to claim it is (see for example how Artifex and parts of Oracle have built their entire business model around copyright trolling with AGPLv3)
-
@coolboymew @Amikke @alex Where this conspiracy falls apart for me is that if they wanted to do license laundering, they have plenty of ways to do it already without resorting to "rewrite it in rust". So as much as it's a tempting pov, I feel like the two are more or less unrelated. (side note: the GPL family of licenses has failed in their stated objective, but that's another discussion for another day)

@icedquinn Georgist urbanist blob here, wonder where that falls for you?
