    You don’t own proprietary software. When you allow it access to your computing resources, you can just hope it does what you want it to do, the way you want it to.

    Sounds like a bonkers extremist position, and in a way it is, but it’s also true.

        I still own an original copy of Kung Fu Master for Commodore 64 on cassette. Yes you may prostrate before me.

        (It’s got Rambo: First Blood Part II on the flipside:)

        I can make you a copy if you want and if you have an empty full length cassette and a boombox with dual cassette decks… (Fo’ a dolla…)

          Very cool

          Edit: what I actually meant to say is, how dare you allow unsanctioned digital audio signals to be played on your boombox, you’re letting them run riot on your ears or something…
