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.

Fire, electricty, gravity and magnetism is magic, and you cant convince me otherwise.

That’s true, every movie takes on something different.

But then again there’s Pocahontas that came out at the same time that tackles racism and the importance of nature.

While this is a good narrative to make about Disney if we want to hate on them, it’s not true though.

The Disney movies for kids is almost all about not maintaining status quo and actually challenge it. Or being different than anyone else

Frozen and Moana are recent examples. Pirates of Caribbean for an older audience. There’s many more.

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?

Having to pay for privacy tells the whole story of how Big Tech makes their money.

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.

Yes, they banned Huawei in the free market.

Yeah, agreed. But OP could be technically correct, if you count the almost non existing time the person wrote something before the light from the writing reached the eye.

But then again, there’s a higher chance someone splashed something random on a wall and thought “hey that looks like something” making reading the first, because the “writing” was not intentional making it a different action.

Makes sense? Maybe.

If we suggest that people 20 years old and younger today, born from 2004, doesnt know the floppy disk.

That would be 33% of the world population. Let that sink in.

They run at around 70-80 degrees, and that’s WITH cooling. How is that not hot enough to warm up homes. Or taking showers in.

Not really though. Birth rates decline in many countries, and will compound over generations. Look into South Korea right now.

But it all depends on living standard and working hours basically. If these parameters change, so will birth rate.

100% branding. Cant go around admitting to attack and start wars. Its defense, guys. On other countries soil. Right?

Probably not, as its not free.
