I watch V for Vendetta every November

I have watched SnowPiercer at least 6 times (and yes, I totally belive it is a sequel to Willy Wonka)

These companies do not make profit in paper but have already made millions for others.

It's all smoke and mirrors

... To the surprise of absolutely nobody

Actually I have a question and I admit knowing nothing of the legal framework here but...

Isn't it absolutely ridiculous that a not-for-profit entity can exists solely for the purpose of developing a closed-source piece of software, demand to train it for free off copyrighted material, just to switch to a for-profit entity??

Sound 100% like tax avoidance. Like me registering a charity so I can throw a mega concert/party privately, secure preferencial treatment on supplies, get discounts on artists or even free performance and then switch to for profit as I start selling tickets

Now, Apple might argue that they’re being environmentally conscious by reducing packaging waste. That’s a fair point,

It isn't... That's like not flushing the toilet in a public bathroom to "save water"

Disney built its entire empire on existing/public domain stories. Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood. The list goes on. Hell even Aladdin is largely located from Middle Eastern fairy tales.

Absolutely, but at least back then they truly added value by tweaking the stories (those original stories are mostly horror stories to our hears) and providing great animation. Nowadays, they buy great IPs and just ruin them; not only they are not adding any value, they are actively taking value away from them

I want it to be super cool to wear really old but well maintained clothes...

I want people to be all like "oh sorry, this is only 3 years old, I had nothing older to wear"

End the "color of the month" crap and all the hot fashion trends

Disney was a creative and innovative company up until the 90s maybe... In the last 2 decades almost everything they are known for was either made before or bought and destroyed

I had discarded the idea of buying anything Ford a long time ago... this just tells me I had been right all along and there is zero reason to reconsider

Side note: is it me or the worst enshitification news always seem to come from Ford (out of the American car manufacturers)?

Well, you have no reason to considering the innovations Apple provides are 3 years behind

5 year minimum and the are forced to open source every abandoned project

So the Russians have discovered marketing...

Wise words my wife purposely does not accept
