  • When you install Windows 11 it suggests OneDrive, Office 365, and Gamepass. After it is installed it will push news articles and advertisements in your start bar. If you use Edge it will also land on a default web page used to advertise products, services, and media.

    I think there are some distros of Linux like Ubuntu that does some of these things, but nowhere near what Windows does now.

    Linux didn’t work on my random hardware!

    Linux doesn’t have proprietary program X!

    Linux didn’t work with my online game that forces you to install spyware on your computer!

    Linux doesn’t let you know all the latest movies, products, and deals!

    Linux didn’t make me agree to an EULA!

    Something like that I guess.




  • Content creators are not protected by copyright unless they have anywhere between $50k-300k and months of their time to waste an litigation.

    The average cost for a federal copyright case is $278,000. Let’s stop pretending this is for the little guy.

    Most importantly you are only looking at the utility of Intellectual property to make money. Art and science exist outside this realm for thousands of years without it.

    We are to sacrifice the way science and art have always worked so supposedly content creators can make money. If this is your argument I will have to take a hard pass.
