This only works if the rental place is retarded. I had to get PDFs of my income direct from the IRS which can't be tampered with or it breaks the digital signature the government uses

interesting!

Can we please pass a law that enforces a $100,000 fine for every infraction when a political candidate uses unlicensed art in their political campaign activities instead of the "get away with using it until the artist bothers sending a C&D" bullshit that has been going on for the last few decades?

Make them pay *immediately*. Drain their campaign funds. Make it so painful they'll never pull that bullshit again.

Thanks & God bless

Nice try CNN, I'm not going to give you my address so you can send a gunman to my neighborhood

There's a lot of great software out there. Open source and Linux/BSD is in my blood. But sometimes people deserve to be paid.

Here's an example from the other day. A friend was looking for video capture software on Mac. Kept having troubles with all the typical open source tools. Well here's one that works great. It's ~$30.

Is it really that insane to give this guy $30 for making a tool that saves you a ton of time and works reliably? That would hours of time debugging why the hell ffmpeg is being buggy and nobody's fixed it for years? If you even have the expertise to figure that out? That's highly optimized for your OS/hardware and even tightly integrates with MacOS-specific features?

Really?

This same brainworm :brainworms: is what makes people point at Mac users and say they're being taken advantage of because "all of the paid apps" vs Linux.

Most of the apps I've purchased -- which are incredibly high quality, and get updates to support every new MacOS release -- are developed by independent developers. These are regular people who love what they do, made something useful, and supporting the software supports them and their families. I rarely have to buy something that comes from a giant global mega corp.

Is that evil because it's not open source?

When was the last time you gave $100 to another open source developer? Ever?

I hope by now everyone recognizes that CLAs are bullshit and you should refuse with one.

In fact a fun game to play right now as an open source community would be to find projects with CLAs and make a bunch of legit pull requests but refuse to sign a CLA. Bury their repo in small contributions that they can't merge.

Show me a human that can learn with minimal inputs. It takes practice and repetition to learn new things. Especially a language as a child -- that's a TON of data you ingest over years until you mentally map out the associations between sounds and words, and then words to concepts.
