I believe Iran and other sanction countries would be doing the same? I see no drawbacks

[–] clot27@lemmy.zip 2 points 44 minutes ago

Imagine being incharge of national piracy

Such a flex🗿

I've seen better crops during the Irish famine

Yeah, I haven't seen a poster bomb this hard since the IRA

And yet, I've not seen a better comment in a good while!

Based and Cuba pilled

Same for Iran :)) We have no copyright so there are official platforms like netflix with all pirated movies and the national tv shows pirated movies constantly. Also, not a single person buys windows or office licenses here :))

[–] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 24 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

No one buys legitimate windows or office licenses anywhere, lol (except for corporations, I guess)

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 15 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Depends if you count OEM licences that came with their device as purchases, which would be the vast majority of people.

I gave my Linux laptop to my brother and that fucker bought a separate retail copy of windows (because it'd be stealing otherwise). I'm ashamed to be related to that fucker.

[–] clot27@lemmy.zip 1 points 30 minutes ago

lmaaao, I feel sorry for you

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 14 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Sorry it was six years ago. I'm told to let it go, but I just don't understand.

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 hours ago

Never let go.

It's infuriating, but if it's your brother, unless he's jeopardising an important priority in your life in a way that affects your life opportunities and/or wellbeing/health, ya should probably tolerate it somewhat. Like explain why what he did is a bad thing and let it be. Family discount. At least it's not your parent that's acting up.

Anyway, I am just talking out of my ass here, free advice, and all that. I don't blame you at all, I'd be pissed too.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 2 points 2 hours ago

Oh i see him at family events I play with his kids. I even loaned him some money to buy a house. I just stopped talking about tech or exchanging tech. I stopped his access to my plex and nextcloud. I'm the tech guy of the family but he is blacklisted in tech.
