Has someone asked what there IS to defend if not people's lives?

I mean, that's all true, and yet they're still light-years ahead of the US...
Also, in guessing this was made by an American, because nobody outside of there would call left parties liberal. Liberal parties are to the right, it's just that the US doesn't actually have an actual left.
The thing is, just like software subscriptions, you aren't buying a piece of software, you're buying the right to use it. You can be pretty sure that they have legalese in the eula that says that your right to use the software expires with non-use. I wouldn't be surprised if they can even let it expire by simple deciding to no longer support it.
And what do you think will happen if their license servers ever go offline?
For the longest time I never bought anything digital, but I eventually caved to steam. I still blatantly refuse to join other digital platforms, except gog where I can download the software and it works without any remote server.
Same for music: I refuse to use Spotify. I buy from 7digital and the like, where I can download either mp3 or FLAC.
Microsoft bought it. They're not going to let their paying userbase of millions of coders evaporate...
Hmm... Wonder if the haters would avoid stalls with such stickers for fear of catching the gay...
Make it a denial of service attack!
As if any spyware worth it's salt didn't install itself as service with an innocuous name. Something like "Facebook" or "TikTok".
I think it also helps that it wasn't intentional. Nobody likes the obvious corp whoring for a quick cash grab.
Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.
