Git really should be married with bittorrent for large files. At the moment it's GFS which requires large central storage, which doesn't really fit with git. Should be maglinks.

With geopolitics being what they are I think there is a lot of onshoring coming. As well as moving production from China to other places.
It's not just piracy, it's archiving. How these games going to be played in centuries from now? It's called the "digital darkage" and we're living in it.
DRM and locking to cloud servers is like trying to assigning things to being lost to the future.
That is because the technical challenge of making a prototype that is 90% of the way there is not the same as that last 10% and building a business around it. Those are very different skills. So you start needing a team, a business and money. It absolutely can be done, and there companies like Pine64 that do it. I've got a small one. Running a business is very hard. Running an open source business is harder as you are going against the grain of that world.
This is true of my personal bank. But the business bank we use need a security device, but they have dropped that and there is now an app for Android or iOS. That's that does what is basically one time codes.
OpenSource phones are crippled by the phone duopoly and apps for everything. Apps for some things you really need. My business bank now requires an app for "security" and that app won't run on rooted or alternative ROMs Androids. Least I've not managed to make it do so. I'm going to have to get an insecure, Google owned, muggle phone just to use our business banking at all.
We need the market regulating before OpenSource phones, or any alternatives, can thrive.
Pretty sure any AR-glasses from the megacorps will add ads to real life soon enough. Any AR-glasses not from megacorp will be bought out to shut them down. Not like there is functional antitrust.
I don't believe this instance of anticompetitive behavior was an accident either. They just thought while doing it for ad blockers, might as through in the competition in the net too. They just got caught. Now they can plausible claim it was an accident.
Like much of big tech, they are too big. This makes also being anticompetitive just too easy to resist.
There are plenty who twitter is their livelihood. Apparently they just can't get the follower numbers on Mastadon (as well as struggle to use it). They are trapped. The magic invisible hand of the market is no substitute for regulation. You arguing consumer choice can solve this kind of problem and it clearly often can't.
Plus coal is more expensive power.
Bet they love Tor then....
Though maybe faster to have a VPS somewhere else. Maybe do a VPN from there.
They aren't going to block ssh.
