Nice avoidance there Stallman, you refused to answer the question, you are omly a pirate when sharing the work (be it sw or whatever else) in violation of the licence that allowed you to use that work in the first place. When you say "i only share free sw" well you are per definition not a pirate. Answer the god damed question, or are you a politician?

Well ARM was English, it has since been sold off too SoftBank in 2016

What about setting the delivery rates such that you can beay drivers enugh not to rely on tips, tips should be somthing extra if the person doing the job goes above and beound normal expectationns. not an expected fee on tiop of the price you pay for the service. Would you accept paying your ISP tips for the service they provide, I think not

Thatbsound a bit odd,i know thst things mught be different in the us, but here in Norway any invoce got get from electricians ( or anyone else for that matter) always includes the info you need to pay it vua a normal vamk transfer, no card (debit/credit) needed and the money can be in their account their account the next buisness day ( unless you ser a due date wutch you usually do since by law (at keast as a consumer) have 14 days to pay any invoive from the day of issue) and it's usually free/very cheap ( depanding on your bank) ro do the actual transaction online. I must be missing something basic here, why would this be dofferent in the US? Oh yea no consumer protection, never mind

And eimidaiatly charge wits spying and out in jail

Yes but now you can pick from that services enture cataloge and whatch whenever you want and not wen a yv exec decides that you shall watch, so the cable analogy is flawed, you don't need 50 channels to find something on when you have time to watch any more. " yea yr ro watch akk my favourite shows I need 3'4 streaming services at 29/mounth", cry me a river, you are an adult prioratize

I wish they had premium+ or " sponsor temoval" I all ready know they do bcoc, 3dprinting, cnc, and component placement

Well (i hate to geneeralize) It seams to me that in the US anything left of the GOB (including whatever intipendent patis miight pop up) is seen as slightly right of comunism . So even ther moderarte right here in europe is left in the US. I'm not really shore how Musoøini places on this scale , and thats beside the point. I'm no expert on this so fel free to corect me in a civilized manner and have a nice day (well ass nice as sorcomstances alloww, your milage my vary)

and yet, we have games syudios here in europe that are more or less fully unionized and the survive. Uions might not be the issue here

Just wair until exam/term paper time, then everybody loves ai, esp the day before the deadline :)

Well vscode is not an IDE so that does not surprise me at all, you are comparing apples and oranges here. I'm not saying that vs code is not a very good code focused text editor, but an IDE it's not.

Well people also have a lack of time,so while they might not be as emersed as when they sit and tead, audiobooks might give them a chance to enjoy books they wouldn't have taken the time to read whilr beeing stuck in traffic or exercising.

well That is an invasive way of getting fired I suppose

i'm starting to think that category a buisnesses size by the number of employees might be less than usefull,let me explayin say. Lets take a gold trading setup, they might have about 10 people totak ( 1 trader, a few analists, one accountant and a fe misc support staff but have a turnover of 50M/a year. A restaurant employing 50 people ( that is the equivalent of 50full time positions) might struggle to turn over a few million. If we ategorize by emploee count they are both small buisnesses but there turnovers are vastly different. So maby buisness size should be judged by more than just emploee count. Tldr buisniss size and emploers size might not alkways be thevsame

60K/Wh, I hope that was a typo, or you are off by a factor of 1000. Did you mean 60K/KWh or 6K/KWh perhaps
