This is not true, and I don’t care if they’re caught in collateral damage.

punish them for trying. we live in a culture of violence, anything less than staggering exemplary violence is inadequate.

people have already died over this, I just want some of them to be guilty.

because you’re no fun and don’t want to install a proper cat door.

kinda what psychopomps are for, yeah.

tl;dr: copyright law has always been nonsense designed to protect corporations and fuck over artists+consumers

but now corpo daddy and corpo mommy are fighting, and we need to take sides.

and it’s revealing that copyright law never existed to protect artists, and will continue to not do that, but MUCH more obviously, and all the cucks who whined about free culture violating laws are reaping what they fucking sowed.

if its not open source; it doesn’t exist.

yeah there are apps I want on my phone, but if anything says ‘there is an app’ I’m instantly averse.

even the things I do want phone apps for, I have to browse on fdroid because default options are all terrible. basic shit like file browsers and media players in commercial OS’s are just, like, vile and do not function. even if I didn’t care about the endoscopes they try to snake up every orifice, they are deliberately nonfunctional.

see, if it had an API, I could integrate it into an open smart home app, and it would be cool as FUCK.

you never know for sure until you try though, so if it requires an app, it’s dead to me and I don’t trust anything else the company makes.

if it has an API i get very wet very fast.

if I see something requires an app, no matter how good it is otherwise. the product is dead to me. I know it is, effectively, going to break within a year or two.
