Decades is far from infinite
Idk about infinite, if they stop getting updates they will eventually get phased out and if you can’t download the application it’s also dead. All that aside the sun is going to go super nova eventually.
Also a lot of people don’t want to self host. I doubt you self host your own Lemmy instance for instance.
But to avoid this you could run a VM and restore to a snapshot but that’s not really switching to Linux. Windows/Mac users should generally not just jump into Linux but transition to it.
Lemmy as usual disregarding pragmatism to be as dogmatic as possible
Plus headphone jack
They can also just refuse to do the job because it hurts the laborers that work for them. They got laborers doing this because they didn’t treat them like people. I don’t think they should expect to be treated well when they treat others poorly.
Sues corning for making all that glass that transmitted the piracy.
Some of the most unruly people I’ve ever known are women. I think women just emphasize better and with media from a connection to those who are in or made the media.
Even renters have rights. If you’re buying something like this you likely have no rights in the matter and the license you agreed to made sure of it.
I agree but they are not technically market monopolies.
This isn’t how market competition is done though. Otherwise every product you listed is a monopoly.
Are you’re saying competition doesn’t exist because products aren’t the same?
I’m trying to not disparage your argument here but if I go with your reasoning then I feel like there is no competition so that you can justify prices not going down. Where I believe competition simply doesn’t lower prices because capitalism desires more profit not less profit. Why fight over scraps when you can create a market by manipulating people into thinking: Green chat bubble mean poor so me no use RCS or open blue bubble because green bubble mean poor.
If competition didn’t exist for apple then they could give android an imessage app.
They certainly do compete with each other but it’s just a general misconception that competition lowers prices.
Pepsi and Coke have been competing with each other for decades and Coke has larger market share. So why doesn’t Pepsi just lower prices? Pepsi even has the diversified income of doing more than drinks. Lowering prices doesn’t lead to market share and Coke can just match the price.
Look at Apple’s growth in the American market, they can sell a product that is significantly more expensive than competitors and still gain market share.
Really funny because you can’t sue a gun maker for the guns they sold killing people. I say funny but I mean that it’s so depressing I have to laugh to maintain sanity.
By that same rational: My not getting a raise is a lost sale because if I had more money I would buy more. So is corporate profit a lost sale?
I wouldn’t ever buy the content so it’s not a lost sale either. All I’ve done is copy a file. gasp
I just want a refreshed Nexus 6. The 16:9 screen and front facing speakers made it so good for watching stuff.
Artists called the camera theft too. The problem with protecting ones livelihood is a tale as old as time. It’s ok for the robot to replace laborers and it’s ok for the computer to replace accountants but the machine making pictures is where I draw the line.
Your livelihood is always under threat because capitalism designed it that way.
Maybe this is just me but I think AI when used by an indy dev is fine but when a massive company uses it, it’s typically to lay off staff or something shitty.
I agree with you here but I wouldn’t want to pay for a host for some FOSS project and I wouldn’t host that on my own IP either.
