It's not ok to insult anyone. Why do you feel the need to do so, and why are you asking for permission?

To be fair, we absolutely should outlaw at least 99% of all currently practiced forms of advertising and make it so that new forms of advertising have to be whitelisted by a panel of psychiatrists, sociologists, environmentalists and urban planners before they're allowed.

I was wrong about who I was for several years. A pretty unexpectedly intense DMT trip set me right

EDIT: This isn't really the ideal place to elaborate on my experience, but thanks for the interest.

In other words, the consent of a corporation is more important than the consent of a human being... for the public distribution of that human being's likeness in an intimate context. Holy dystopia, conservatives are fucked in the head.

EULAs don't have to say "you own this forever" because it's implicit. Just like when you buy bananas at the grocer you aren't forced to sign a EULA that says you can eat the banana or make a smoothie with it but can't use it to make nuclear weapons or commit war crimes.

Let's break this down: a product is an object that is delivered to a buyer. A service is an action or group of actions that is performed for the buyer. If I have to keep running my servers for your game client to connect to, push updates or offer tech support, I am providing a service because it requires me to keep doing something for the thing to work. If, on the other hand, all I do is give you some code you can run entirely on your machine - and it doesn't matter if I give it to you on a CD, a floppy, via digital download or if I print it out as a big book for you to type yourself into a hex editor - then our transaction is finished when I deliver it to you and you pay me. There isn't anything to license because now you own that copy of the code. My participation in what you do with it is finished, just like the grocer's is finished when you leave his store with the bananas.

Do you understand now?

What they don't seem to understand is that Reddit employees don't create value, the users create value. And mods are users. The more they make things shitty for users, the more quickly the company will go bankrupt. I distinctly remember stories about killing golden geese and milking cows to death but the MBA crowd must not have been told those growing up.

One reason would be that with an iPhone, you're paying two to five times the price of an Android phone with comparable hardware.

This has absolutely nothing to do with ReVanced.

You mean like literally every single attempt at DRM since the Big Bang?
