It's called not paying taxes.

Don't the US have a strong "sovereign self-made man" movement that unacknowledges taxes and federal law enforcement among other things?

Cats are cheaper.

What exactly do you expect them to do other than disavow their past transgressions?

Compensations and restorations would be a minimally decent start.

The key here is that it taints you, not the thing. Just because the source code of eg.: Acrobat is known because the source is leaked, that does not make the source code of an alternative instantly illegal.

No.

You cannot violate copyright by seeing, reading, hearing, or feeling a work. Even if you are knowingly observing an infringing copy, your consumption of that work is not an infringement.

Disney: "Them's quitter words!"

There's nothing to figure out, if the question is how "society" does it then the answer is literally taxes.

3 and 5 are a potentially broken combo. In particular if "control a toaster" means control and not just "operate", since then it's basically toasterkinesis, or being able to instantly turn any toaster into a bomb. "teleport up to 10 inches away sounds like it wouldn't be too useful but it does, in principle, allow you to phase out incoming bullets and a fair amount of lateral blade hits if you time it right.

6 and 7 could have some interesting, niche uses in some fields. 6 for example could be used for intimidation if "10 hours younger" is interpreted chronologically: even after taking a serious wound, you'd look pristine for around 10 hours so it might be used to scare or distract some enemies.

I'm... not even sure what 4 or 9 could ever be used for.

Would you work for free for your workplace without a compensation beyond a $5 bill and a pat on the back at times because your boss felt generous?

Misleading question. These kinds of communities are volunteer-fed, so you are basically asking me if I would work for free for a charity, which is the point. Things change notoriously when the boss then decides to monetize the entire thing for themself and not for you.

Finally, even OpenSubtitles gets enshittified.

implying gravity and momentum effect a cat when it doesn't want them to

She was absolutely adorable it seems. May she blep in peace and disapprovingly stare at your not following your routine exactly from cat heaven.

Emoji? Unicode suffices.

Awww was such a qt. Sending condolences.

The problem with youtube in particular is there is no way to build an alternative that’s as good as YouTube

as good

I mean, assuming that's exactly what people wan, "exactly youtube but cheaper", then yeah it's an impossible and thankless task to even try something of that scale. Instead it's better to think of building youtube alternatives that are focused on one or two parameters that allow organizational optimizations. For example, much of the issue that people complain about is the storage, but a YT-alt that dedicates to eg.: archivism of old TV shows, that scan at best at 480p or 360p, wouldn't need to spend that much in storage compared to a service that is trying to serve 4K UHD 120fps Subwoofer Surround; that combined with the topical focus suddenly makes it much more scaleable and approachable.

Oh you sweet child. They only need to ban them for citizens, not for business / shareholders.

Yeah it's like, the same way "pharmaceutics" get shiv'd into "pharma" (or "big pharma") "corporations" get shiv'd into "corpo".

Quienes no ganen tanto, es primordial que aprovechen los beneficios que está dando el gobierno ahora, como el 10% del pie con aval del Estado y los subsidios.

Eso sería bonito, pero desde como hace dos años que los requisitos para tener los subsidios se han hecho notoriamente más inalcanzables también. Onda ahora te piden tener cónyuges, hijos, al menos dos adultos mayores vivos, el título de un terreno o una certificación de ascendencia mapuche para reclamación, etc. Onda una persona sola ya no puede postular, la única manera de ganar puntos es hacerse de varias minas cónyuges, como un harem animé.

Good of him to accept that Joe Biden has been ordained by God! Surely now he will pay the proper respects and fall in line.

I don't know either, I just assume that since it's 2023 and there's corpos, at least someone, somewhere, is thanklessly working on a FOSS language learning platform.

Terrible.

Así como está la situación, yo todavía un tantito lejos de los 30, la verdad es que la opción que estoy evaluando es o buscar una casa puesta de pintamonos para entrar o ejercer de okupa, o intentar la van life, ya que todavía sale más accesible la van usada que la casa usada.
