The Austrian military didn’t just adopt LibreOffice; they actually contributed back to it. Over five person-years of development work went into adding features they needed. Those improvements are now available to everyone using LibreOffice, which is pretty cool.

The open source dream!

I think there’s a middle ground. It’s not all or nothing.

We can have million dollar studios without having a billion dollar studio.

That’s true, which also illustrates how absurd the big paychecks are with your post in mind.

Sure.

The premise is to bring down costs, and not be free. This is a reality where we can share media we buy, because we own them again.

So you can kind of imagine the world 20-30 years back with VHS and DVDs. Just in the digital world.

Fewer people would buy the content, and less shareholders will be rich. Actors will also not go for multi million dollar salaries. But actors would still exist.

You can argue that this will bring down the number of movies, but most likely there will just be alot of small studios making movies instead of Netflix and Disney controlling the market from start to end.

There will be a much larger varaity in movies, and not that many reboots of past succes from the VHS/DVD age.

Sometimes it’s hard to imagine a reality outside our own.

How is it a worse product if they move?

How could an IP gained now, ever have impact on existing games? How would an IP even be gained, if they are not the only ones having this mechanic today?

Yeah, they laid off the whole team behind Kevin. I would quit too, if I saw my creation fall that way.

Also just users. No docker or anything, just using the system someone else setup for them.

NextCloud is used everywhere, also in commercial use.

Probably not, as its not free.

No one is too big to fail. Always remember that.

To be fair, he is just asking for more reasons than privacy. No reason not to give him them, and also okay to say we don’t think there is any.

For sure. Their decision about OpenStreetMaps seems pretty wise.

Imagine if we end up a place, where this tarrif shitshow actually ends up with EU and the world being independent from big tech corps on Maps, Office (Word, Excel), Windows etc.

Sometimes all we need is a wake up call.

The best news from this is that the EU is willing to go these ways. Incredible for consumers in the long run and to combat monopolies.

Yes, they could sponsor something else, but what we also really want are choices and competition.

Maybe I don’t know enough of this, but would it be possible to install Kodi and use that and it’s plugins for satellite? Plex also had this, and maybe Jellyfin is a good option?

In that way, you can show your satellite channels but in their interface.

Maybe that can do the trick?

They don’t have the manpower to go after everyone, but you never need to.

You make an example out of 1.000 people nation wide, and most people wouldn’t dare to not pay.

I was confusing the actual war with a later protest against China because of Tibet, happening maybe 10 years ago.

My mistake.

EDIT: Okay I know what happened now. Just found out that Google is displaying different boarders around the world to different regions. I’m pretty sure Tibet was on the map not many years ago, and now it’s not. But apparently, it’s only been like that in the western world.

What do you call Tibet then. I know they couldn’t fight back that much, but it’s a literal invasion.
