      If it were up to the lawyers and capitalists and not open source responding to it you'd still be paying to copy files. Imagine that? A subscription for basic utility, and removing it did not "impede competition" or "remove incentive".

      But hey, if you want to, I could rig your phone and computer to pay me a dollar every time you copy or move a file, ya'know, since you're in to that stuff.

    Denis Prager and everyone who works for him should be arrested and then buried in a pit in the ground

      Oh cool, that's neat. Wow. Personally I'm only socially communist. But in terms of economics I'm radically communist cat-com

      Communism is the reason your ancestors didn't end up in a camp while Germans enjoyed their room for living

        Because I'm from a country where people know what communism is in practice, and I hate it

                Every country that was touched by communism is extremely poor or corrupt, on the other hand all people I know including me want to live in places like USA or in European Union

                        According to a 2022 report from the Cuban Human Rights Observatory (OCDH), 72 percent of Cubans live below the poverty line. 21 percent of Cubans who live below the poverty line frequently go without breakfast, lunch or dinner due to a lack of money. Pensions are among the smallest in the Americas at $9.50/month https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Cuba#Wages,_development,_and_pensions

                          Wow it is almost like when Trump put them on the state sponsor of terror list for literally no reason and Biden kept them there their standard of living has gone down. Shocking.

                  I wonder what happened to all those former Eastern Bloc countries that might have made them poor and corrupt.

                  Could have anything with US backed color revolutions and the neoliberal looting of their societies?

                  Nah. Probably socialisms fault

                  buddy, trust me, you do not want to live here in the USA. Unless you really love not seeing a doctor or dying in a car accident.

                  Socialism took the USSR from a late-feudal backwater that just lost the most destructive war in history (to that point) to the first man in space, and it did so in one generation and in spite of two subsequent invasions.

                  Socialism took China from a bunch of squabbling warlords dominated by foreign empires, where famines were regular and severe enough that people regularly sold their own children to survive, to a modern economic powerhouse, lifting a billion people out of poverty along the way.

                  Socialism took Cuba from a plantation run by foreign gangsters to cutting-edge medicine and higher life expectancy than the U.S., all while fending off a low-intensity war the most powerful empire in the world has waged against it for the entirety of its existence.

    Sure, now draw the stacks of coins to-scale, Prager-U, I dare you!

    They're obviously taking advantage of the fact that the average person doesn't realize how wide the wealth inequality gap has gotten. Or, to put it another way, they don't realize how badly they've been, and continue to be, exploited by the rich and powerful...
