Why do small countries bother enforcing anti-piracy?

That’s exactly what I was thinking. They used to have electric mobility carts, no more. My mother with multiple invisible disabilities stopped using them a couple years before they took them out because of the stigma against anyone using one. She already gets only the shittiest produce when she orders online pick ups, but now she’s going to get gouged too because she literally cannot stand and walk around that long without passing out in the middle of the aisle. This is so fucked up.

EDIT: I just looked up “what happened to electric mobility carts” and this was the top result https://www.reddit.com/r/walmart/comments/18o4fvd/im_so_tired_of_electric_carts_and_the_entitled/

I’m having a fucking stroke what the fuck is wrong with people

You gotta make your own VPN by installing a ras-pi in the drop ceiling of a bathroom somewhere with free Wi-Fi, alligator clips on the lights for power.

It’s wild how often people get away with essentially saying “you disgust me and I find you very sexually unappealing” completely unprompted.

I can tell you what you should do all day long and it will never hurt you, unless you decide to reactively to the opposite even when I’m right.

If you tell me to stop being an annoying Linux fanboy I will have no choice but to continue, because that’s what you have to do when someone tells you something.

If being told you should do something which in fact you should do, by someone who has no real power to pressure you to do it, is so “annoying” to you that’s a personal problem.

If you think reminding people that a thing exists (even if it’s annoying to pretty much everyone) doesn’t help adoption of that thing then you should tell that to all the advertising agencies that make trillions creating propaganda (for Windows even)

The world hasn’t worked that way in a long-ass while. Maybe they’re just old and out of touch?

I remember several occasions where a store/restaurant mildly fucked up and refunded or at least gave me a gift card, but not since like 2014. Now the gloves are off. I had Walmart steal my groceries one time on an online pick up order when their system went down. It was a “fuck you not sorry. Also you’re being really unreasonable for being upset about this” situation where I had no money in my bank account and nothing to show for it. They do not care anymore.

Change the price of the items you’re stealing to $10k right before you walk out the door, felony.

Hopefully you can see now that we had good reason to. Imagine a world where Linux didn’t exist and the only answer to Microsoft’s power was Apple and vice versa
