This was Adobe’s strategy with Photoshop. They basically let the piracy happen knowing everyone would learn and stick with their software.

There is also an Android fork which works amazingly well.

Youtube has been getting crazy with deletions! If it’s not G rated it’s getting tossed.

It’s meant to look like the jolly roger.

I remember this as well. Their whole stance was that they’d get everyone using Photoshop even if people had to pirate it. That’s part of how it became the industry standard.

Send this to Luis Rossman. He’ll have a fieldday with this shit.

All commercial ships are required to be transmitting on AIS. The article doesn’t mention if this couple had AIS (send or receive) at all though. Typically sailors keep watch in shifts to spot potential collisions. By the sounds of it, they had a lot of miles under their belt.

If I had to guess, they had a mechanical failure or a collision with something else that caused them to take on water.

Howard Stern’s entire career was famously based on that fact.

I don’t want to live in a world where this is ok and everyone just turns a blind eye.

Jerry! Jerry!!

Japanese culture just doesn’t operate like that. They’re not used to needing trash cans everywhere because the Japanese take their trash with them. They take pride in not leaving a mess behind.

If this was a movie script it would be rejected for not making sense. But here we are in this clown-show reality.

I’m upvoting you for adding to the conversation even though we have different opinions. Sadly, people don’t understand how the moderation system is supposed to work.

It blows my mind that there are people on here that are cool with doing an airstrike on a playground full of orphans. Many (most?) of which already had to witness the same happening to their parents.

I’m sorry but there is zero justification for that. None. Your argument is invalid.

Who the fuck even goes to a website to pirate anything these days? Go ahead and ban the entire www it will do nothing to stop piracy and only further ruin the internet.

Indeed but even without climate change, the current system is doomed to collapse because it’s simply not sustainable.

Climate change is going to accelerate that 10X.

I for one see it as a good thing because fuck this arrangement.

Absolutely.
