No way the Fedora user figured out how to configure partitions in the installer without having to google it at least five times! I've installed Fedora a few times over the years, and that UI still makes no sense to me!
UBI and copyright are not mutually exclusive. Why wouldn't artists want to earn more on top for the work they do and the value they create, like every other profession?!
Personally I just think it's easier to pick out the movies and shows I want to watch, and then be sure that they will be there once I sit down to watch them. No uncertainty, no hunting down a good stream or missing episode, everything is just there and ready. The process is very simple once everything is set up, and you can still delete video files after you watch them if you want to.
It does say "No Virus" in big letters, so what could go wrong?
Yea it would be a pretty radical change, requiring adjustments in many areas. But I do think it's necessary, because people not being personally invested in the things they own (just financially) and profiting from other people's work is imo the big problem with our society right now.
Companies would work the same way. You can own it (make decisions and get profits) as long as you work there. Ofc you can work for multiple companies, but with reasonably restrictions (e.g. 8 companies if you work 40h/week and 5h/week/company). I also think companies should not be able to own other companies, because companies cannot be "personally" involved in anything, only people can.
We have blown the concept of ownership way out of proportion. No one should be able to own things they have absolutely no connection to, like investment firms owning companies they don't work for, houses they don't live in or land they've never been to.
Apart from privacy concerns, Google has started to add some really bad features to Chrome, such as "Manifest V3" and "Web Environment Integrity". These limit your ability to block ads or generally modify your device or the websites you're visiting, and are just a bad for the web as a whole. WEI in particular is basically DRM for the web, so Google checks your device and denies you access to websites if they don't like it. But as long as the majority of people keep using Chrome they can just force these things onto everyone.
XKCD#1172 is very relevant here.
