I'll blame the early internet. So often stuff was for free, either due to the dot com bubble or just because someone wanted to create something.
More often than not the second one.

I mean, there were pages full of flash video games and animations with that sole purpose, no ulterior intentions.

When google came around, it too seemed amother neat free thing.

My theory is that the other members of the Federation saw humans as a bunch of chaotic, violent monkeys that somehow had gotten into space and in time would spread their flavor of chaos and violence across the universe.

So it makes sense they thought better training the puppy before it grows up.

Also pretending you are a medic is a big nono on the Geneva's convention.

It looks like they are trying to get the war crime bingo.

Deutsche Bahn is the circus and Siemens in this case the clowns.

No, stupidity is a growing global threat. Measles is just riding shotgun.

Pretty much a good argument for forcing companies to open source any tech like this once it loses support.

It's called a "butler cafe", basically the opposite of a maid cafe.

They haven't clearly gone through hospitality academy; they brought the wrong spoon for desert and ruined my day.

It's also mind blowing to consider that as many other projects, both Linux and Python started as a hobyist project never meant to do more than cater to some personal needs.

This taught me how important is allocating time for your team for their personal projects, as the next school romance anime tagging system could be the cornerstone of every AI in the future.

I may or may not have done some cracking since the early 90s.
Back then three things were true for me to start that hobby:

  1. Had a computer and lots of free time.
  2. Had 0 money but friends that would lend me a game for a week or two.
  3. Had access to burnable media.

This was mostly me trying to keep playing games after giving the disk (or disks) back.
However, once I might have cracked GTA (the original), the rush of finally understanding how a debugger worked and figuring it out, made actually playing less apealing than the whole figuring it out.

It made me rent games then just try figuring out how to crack them, but that was financially killing me as again I had nothing to begin with and I was now at minus some.

Granted that none of the early protections were anything similar to Denuvo.
In most cases, it was just a case of blocking a cd check here and there. Some had hilarious protections where the game would screw the player if detected: RA2 would be probably the most famous I remember. Often than not it made me paranoid if I had triped a trap and the game was being unfair or bugged.

Somehow I kept going until I shifted towards the Hackintosh scene.

Then when the first humble bundle appeared and people pirated it, it disgusted me to no avail and finally left this part of my life.
