I'm absolutely against the idea of EULAs but the fact remains they are only enforceable because it's the copying that is the reserved right, not the distribution. If it was distribution then second hand sales would be prohibitable (though thanks to going digital only that loop hole is getting pulled shut slowly but surely).

It's about making copies, not just distributing them, otherwise I wouldn't be able to be bound by a software eula because I wouldn't need a license to copy the content to my computer ram to run it.

You've clearly never supported users on windows and macos when they weren't already familiar with it or you'd never imply that windows and macos had intuitive interfaces that nontechies could take to instantly. None of them do but for a long time the default interface people were introduced to and taught to use was primarily windows unless they were doing art or media when they got introduced to macos instead.

You should download it to a personal media server and stream it to your phone if you want to enjoy piracy the modern way.

This... It's not so much that I'd never advocate a windows install, it's that linux should be the first port of call and Windows be the specialist fallback for when Linux doesn't handle the use case well.

Put it on an isolated vlan, run your own ntp server and if needed spoof the ntp dns it uses... Easy 😅

An iso is a dump of a kind of rom...

That is for different reasons than shingles though.

Isn't that the point, to fuck up digital advertising accounts so the data is unreliable and can't be used?

While I'm sure usenet us all you say it is and more, I object at a philosophical level to paying for what is essentially a piracy service.

While true, they tend not to bare the costs of the environmental damage, at least when these activities are poorly regulated.

But once you have it's output, unless you already know enough to judge if it's correct or not you have to fall back to doing all those things you used the AI to avoid in order to verify what it told you.
