Good. It has to start somewhere.

Let's stop being little bitches and be the change we want to see, eh? Or is that asking too much of you?

But if corporations couldn't patent it, then nobody would make it!

Don't you know that we have copyright and patent laws to thank for why we have any art or entertainment in the first place!?

Without them, we'd have nothing.

They see the writing on the walls. Their IPs can't carry them forever, especially now that the manchildren who like them are approaching their 40s.

Corporations aren't your friends.

Not even Valve.

I recommend keeping it simple.

There's nothing special about a 'seedbox.' It's just a computer.

If you want a computer that's on 24/7 to use as a server, get a used dell optiplex from walmart for $100.

Don't buy small form factor shit unless you have a specific reason to have a small computer. Don't buy into the memes or hype surrounding 'boutique' products. They are all for idiots with more money than sense that try to fit in with other idiots on the internet.

Isn't that a massive security risk?

Discord is a horrible product and we should be steering people away from it and towards a federated alternative like Matrix.

That said, it works fine on Linux. The only issue is that updating it requires editing a text file because the incompetent cunts at the company can't be arsed to develop their product properly.

They can find some other way to be useful to society.

If they love those jobs so much, they can do them for free.

We shouldn't stifle technological process and keep jobs people don't want to do around so the people currently doing them don't have to adapt.

It's about rewarding people who paid into the system and punishing those who did not.
