@astrid i have to respect dogmatic OOP for bringing together genuinely good and useful paradigms in a way where they’re all designed to interoperate neatly, and somehow fuck it up so badly i don’t want to use it
@astrid thats the thing tho, an object without encapsulation is just a datatype that holds functions and data and lets you access them by defined names
apparently dodge challengers get bought by people who really cant afford them so much the repossessions have actually depreciated their price in general
fun fact: software piracy is not a crime, cracking drm solutions isnt either (though it can facilitate the latter so its still considered “conspiring to”), nor is making unofficial copies of games, only redistributing those unofficial copies without a licensing agreement permitting as much is illegal
still not a crime however as copyright is part of civil law, it gives someone the right to sue for damages but they have to do so themselves and out of their own pocket. thats why most actual anti-piracy measures are entirely outside the legal system
(besides drm and propaganda theres of course just contacting your internet provider asking them to send threatening letters, throttle your connection or even disconnect service entirely)
with credit card companies forcing yet another service to forbid “adult content”, and crypto finally mostly in the dumps
gnu taler? please? lets not overthink it with blockchains, lets not try to game the system, lets just take decentralised electronic payment and not fuck it up
@root a. capitalism, corpos dont profit from this b. its gnu, they fucking suuuck at making themselves appear likable enough for people to hear them out, they inherently dont do marketing
@KataKabun@o76923 honestly even just small things like blacking out names or personal info in a picture, super basic editing, even that takes a couple attempts with just your fingers
