Remember the saying, "if a corporation gives you something for free, than YOU are the product"?\
|
|
With the raise of Literallyeveryfuckingthing as a Service, you can safely change it to "if a corporation provides anything at all, than YOU are the product, in addition to the product you're renting".

|
WinDOS is no longer a buyable loycense.\
|
|
Instead it effectively got turned into an OS as a Service since WinDOS 10.\
|
|
The software is the product, the hardware is the product, and YOU is the product.
|
|
|
|
It has gotten to the point that the only way you can actually own a product is by either making your own, or using exclusively FLOSS software ONLY!!\
|
|
Or of course both.
|
|
|
|
The other alternative is to download a pirated copy of a commercial product, because pirates generally remove DRM, serial keys, telemetry, and all the other bullshit, so effectively pirates offer the superior version for free.\

|
Pirates are the new patriots.

"But ryo, weren't you a capitalist?"\
|
|
Yes I am, but it doesn't mean I support scamming the crap out of people and being hostile towards customers.
|
|
|
|
In fact, it has nothing to do with capitalism.\
|
|
Sure, making money is a fundamental part of capitalism, but so is competition which is motivating you to providing the best of the best products and/or services.\
|
|
Centralized "The Entire Fucking Universe as a Service" bullshit destroys competition, nobody is able to compete unless you're the first in the market.\
|
|
This is not free market capitalism, this is centrally planned communism.\
|
|
If not, it leads to a centrally planned economy, aka communism.
