When was the last time a corporation got anything other than a slap on the wrist and a small donation to the government just so they could keep doing what they’re doing?

No you see the corporations will just lobby until the courts get enough money to classify AI as it’s own individual entity, just like with citizens united.
DirecTV did that to my dad years ago. He called to cancel but they sat on it for 4 months and gave us service but didn’t stop sending bills. He just just stopped paying them until they started threatening legal action so he had to keep fighting them. Eventually they gave up.

Oh so it just affected you personally got it. So that’s where all this is coming from. Now that that’s settled you can kindly fuck off.
Preventing workers from doing their jobs doesn’t actually hurt them. At all. It just makes it annoying to work.

Oh well. If I can’t have any then the rich assholes shouldn’t either.
Also how the fuck does your analogy make any sense? "Keep cracking eggs (for the omelette) and you won’t have any left ( for the omelette you just made). Sick of clowns like you.
Can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs.
EA, Ubisoft, and Activision are all on my do not buy list. Their games aren’t even worth pirating.
It’s more like co-owning. Both the owner and the HOA own the property. But at least with my HOA the agreement is they handle everything outside my walls, I handle everything inside.
Of course not. But it won’t stop them from trying or spending billions on legal fees to avoid paying out a tiny fraction of that.
You still are missing the point and I doubt you’ll get it. To the average user they don’t give a fuck why it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work. And until it does then the average user isn’t going to jump through hoops to make their hardware work.
How do you not see why that’s a problem? Telling someone to not use new hardware is not a solution, it’s a shitty work around. You’re just proving my point that Linux is not ready for main stream use. Unless all you do is read email and Facebook then sure Linux will work but for people actually trying to enjoy their PC, it’s bad. You people are actually delusional.
Why don’t you just fuck off? I really don’t care about your personal experience. Mine wasn’t good and I’ve been using it for over a decade. Congrats you had zero problems. Your experience doesn’t match mine. Here’s a fucking cookie.
Asshole.
It’s not just Ubuntu. “Just don’t use modern hardware” is not a solution.
You’re wrong but okay. I’ve tried it on and off for over a decade and I always come back to windows. Not because it does everything I want but because it just works. As I’ve said, I used it for both desktops and servers and it’s always the same for desktops. Linux has always given me some sort of problem for every day use no matter the distro or hardware. I’ve used Debian, Ubuntu, red hat, and opensuse. First laptop I tried Ubuntu on ages ago the wireless never worked and dozens of attempts to fix it didn’t work. Tried it again a few years later on a gaming PC I built and had to tweak every individual game to get it to work with wine. Plus there was always some audio bug I had to fix with sound or microphone just not working. And I could never get the same FPS as in windows. Once that PC died I built another one with windows. My previous build I dual booted windows and Linux and I had to switch to an ultra buggy alpha version of Debian to get my 1080 to work. When I went to uninstall that distro because it was too unstable, grub nuked the boot record and I couldn’t even get back into windows despite all the attempts I made to repair the MBR.
This is all coming from someone who is college educated in this field so no I’m not some random chucklefuck who doesn’t know what their doing. I really dislike it when you Linux fanboys just brush off legitimate critisms because you personally haven’t had issues. Linux is not a mainstream OS and quicker you guys accept that then maybe we can move past this bullshit of having a free and open source OS that is unfriendly to use and move in to fixing the issues that’s preventing people from switching.
Exactly this. I’m comfortable in both windows and Linux. I tried Linux as my daily driver multiple times on my main PC but it was always not worth the effort. I don’t have days of free time anymore to mess with Linux as my main OS. I put Ubuntu on my laptop and while it worked I was often spending days troubleshooting some bug, either with the touchpad not working or with with the disro itself trying to something as simple as an image preview when selecting pictures to upload to discord or whatever.
I’ve spun up dozens of virtual machines on my server at home and that’s where Linux just works. After I get it configured I’ve almost never needed to touch it again. Until Linux gets the basic user experience as easy as windows then people will stay with windows.
I’ve had it blocked at my DNS for years because I got tired of my eardrums being blown out every time I clicked a link because Instagram didn’t (or still doesn’t) have a volume slider for desktop.
Unfortunate that he got caught. He was simply playing the same game the corps do but since he isn’t mega rich he gets punished.
