Me too, including when ferociously trying to debug why grub wouldn't find a freaking bootable anything. The error message isn't "uh, no config bro" but "hey, nothing to boot here, see ya in The Shell". Argh.

$ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.conf

Thaaat... took me a stupid amount of time to fix.

Aujourd'hui j'en ai inventé un. En voulant expliquer à une collègue qui doit se rendre au Togo et avait l'ambition "d'en profiter pour visiter le Zimbabwe", je lui ai demandé si financièrement ça n'avait pas plus de sens de raygionner autour du Togo - enfant batard né de l'union de Rayonner et Region.

Est-ce accepté ? Suis-je automatiquement devenu membre perpétuel de la Cademmye ?

You wonderfully deviated this conversation towards the real threats we are facing in the near future, and right now. That was very well said, thank you.

OP's premises may be not wrong on the first point, is in need of some realignment on the second, and I have no idea about the third.

The idea of a post-piracy world can still be envisioned and discussed; will it be full of FOSS and CC-BY-SA? Will it leaves us with only secondhand pulp comics while our roku devices blast 23h out of 24 of ads? Who knows?

Lifa has a lot to offer beyond screens

Yarr, mateys, all sails to the Public Library! We'll drop anchor at the secondhand bookshop on our way back! And drop all that electronic ballast, it's only slowing us down...

You are absolutely right; I hadn't thought of it this way but a post-piracy world should be a frugal one, could be a quiet one. A planet-friendly one.

There's a difference here that I describe as "pro" meaning specialized, complex software targeted at big businesses vs individual tools of the trade: Vectorworks is gonna get paid for happily by companies needing support and relying on it for critical output, while your next door young architect will run an outdated, cracked version of AutoCAD because it's just too expensive - that kid could (and should) run Qcad.

Where I see pirated software surviving is also as a form of legacy support: if you run old hardware (i.e. 32bits), that's where "pro" software is gonna suck & leave you dry, while torrents are still out there.

In gaming or media, cracking looks like a sport, I feel people just want to have fun blowing restrictions to pieces. It's heartwarming!

Back to the 'tools of the trade" category, I am happy to pay a moderate price to support a talented dev (Isadora, D::Light) but get understandably annoyed at huge businesses practicing insufferable licensing schemes. I wish people start looking, and using then supporting more alternatives out there - but isn't photoshop still crack-able because it helps it dominate the market where The Gimp would do if it was the standard?

Révolutionnaires à 2 balles, ils ont même pas pensé à exploser le genre sur leurs cartes, là, bonjour les réacs.

Great piece, impressive work; Fedora now ships widevine by default - and it's not working anymore. I have a recent Asahi install, netflix won't play (used to work at the time of this blog post).
