Yes. It is not uncommon.

Also, the license gives one some knowledge about what one is actually doing with the transceiver. Without that it isn’t really a hobby anyway. It just becomes an illegal walkie talkie.

Tbh, I can’t condone that as a ham myself. And yes, you can be caught. It happens all the time and fines are hefty.

The basic ham license (called “Technician”) is very easy and cheap. Just get one.

You do not need a license to listen to ham radio with a traditional transceiver. You only need a license to transmit.

There are no licensing requirements for equipment purchases.

There doesn’t really have to be one. There companies have deep pockets and the legal process itself is long and costly. They know you might win, but they also know you can’t afford to slog through the process to actually get an outcome.

Personally, I’d take this as a red flag about the company to which you would be applying. It sucks, but tells you what they think about “people”.

**tearing everything apart

But will the free speech absolutist chime in?

Hey cool, one more excuse to see a rich person get away with everything

Super Contra for NES (sometimes just called Super C). Stupid shoot em up action done to perfection.

Metal Slug games are great in emulation; similar to above.

Kind of like wearing a red MAGA hat.

Damn, I’m in the wrong business. Been making really bad decisions for free

Same here. I do use 2 dynamic collections: Installed Locally and Full Controller Support. That’s basically just to make it easier to pick stuff to play from the couch.

Otherwise it’s all in one big bucket, but it’s a searchable bucket, so that’s fine.

It’s already here

Just remember that it was ultimately the corpos who showed us that theft doesn’t matter anymore.

They agreed to terms when they operated under Creative Commons.

As of yet, Stack Exchange has not replied to the above post, but they did promptly and within hours gave me a year-long ban for merely raising the question.

Laws mean nothing anymore. Therefore licenses mean nothing. Therefore ownership means nothing, and “theft” no longer exists.

The fact that it’s immutable isn’t necessarily good for people new to Linux. If something does go wrong, or the user wants to change something significant, most of what they read online about how to do that will not work like many other distros.

For experienced users, sure, there probably isn’t much difference.

It used to be bad. In the last few years, it isn’t. We want other people to use Linux now.

Or literally any other distro.

Pop is probably much easier to be up and running vs. Bazzite.

It’s just a matter of time as so many corporate products and services enshittify. That, plus FOSS’ main issue is the average person not having any idea what it is or what it means.
