Unfortunate that he got caught. He was simply playing the same game the corps do but since he isn’t mega rich he gets punished.

I used to have a program called netlimiter (needed to throttle individual aop downloads on a shared WISP that was slow as balls). I bought a lifetime license like 10 years ago because I liked the software. A couple years ago they got rid of the old version and bumped me up to the new version. About a year ago I got an email saying something along the lines of “pay our new subscription fee or you lose your access” and basically put me on a trial account. I pirated their old version years ago to see if I liked the software enough after a couple months. I no longer use that software.

Another time I bought a lifetime access for a game on patreon. About 2 years later the dev switched to a subscription only fee to access all the new content and never released anything from updated versions to the older public release. So essentially I bumped down to a free tier of access to a game I paid for.

I will pirate until I die. Fuck these douchebags.

When was the last time a corporation got anything other than a slap on the wrist and a small donation to the government just so they could keep doing what they’re doing?

No you see the corporations will just lobby until the courts get enough money to classify AI as it’s own individual entity, just like with citizens united.

Lol no they didn’t.

DirecTV did that to my dad years ago. He called to cancel but they sat on it for 4 months and gave us service but didn’t stop sending bills. He just just stopped paying them until they started threatening legal action so he had to keep fighting them. Eventually they gave up.

That’s a lot of weird assumptions in one post.

So this is scam right? Overpromise on a product that doesn’t work then sell the company for some huge price because it’s cutting edge technology? Because it feels like a scam.

Haha look how quirky and relatable that is. I can totally relate. Isn’t that super relatable to programmers? What funny.

Oh yeah for sure. It’s given me incorrect code before but I was able to recognize the issue and fix the error which was mostly a logic one.

Good article however I would like it if the scroll bar on the examples was always visible. On mobile it took me a minute to realize there was more to some of the code snippets, like the square function in the .map() example.

I may do that already when I get stuck… Tbf I am trying to learn and only ask it to explain how to do something or if I have a bug I can’t figure out. I feel sometimes it’s just best to get an answer if I’ve been stuck for a while because I’m not making progress anyway.

Just another c++ boomer too scared to adapt and switch to rust.

It took me a long time to start understanding MDN but now that I kind of have a feel for reading docs it’s a bit better although I still miss bits of info and sometimes struggle to understand the examples.
