Thats true its actually better because the corps get to suffer losses while i still get to enjoy their products anyway, sometimes in ways better then those who actually are paying customers.

You get cash back if you paid with cash. Gift cards would probably also work for a scam like this.

Monero works for me, come to think of it idk when the last time i used cash for a “private” transaction, but all my webhosting and domains and whatnot get paid with XMR.

Piracy makes boycotting stuff like this easy

Does target no longer accept cash?

They are fairly diffent origins, viltrum is a conquering empire sending agents to other planets to conquer them, superman is the last son on a world that no longer exists and whos powers are stronger because of earths smaller yellow sun. Homelander was created by humans in a lab for marketing and profiting off of. On top of that it probabl also counts as parody.

There are a lot of superheros with similar powers or similar origins, but i dont know of any that are similar enough to win a lawsuit.

One that comes to mind is when DC sued over the similarity of captain marvel to superman But it was settled out of court and im not aware of any more recent ones.

If a single company has this level of control over our devices we’ve already lost.

Can you imagine a company like dell decided tomorrow to only allow installation from their specific vendor locked market? People would just not buy those products, you wouldn’t be demanding dell let you install linux, you just buy something else.

Even if i had to use a pc that’s 10+ years old, id choose that over using a new pc that can only run vendor approved software. I cant imagine anything a new devive like a phone might have that would change my mind about it.
