I'll never again learn another proprietary tech unless I'm getting paid to do it. open source or nothing.

100% agree. I would also add an explicit exception to the DMCA. Cracking copy protection on software you bought legally because the copy protection has failed in a way that prevents the software from working should be legal.

I don't buy ebooks with drm anymore, and when I buy movies on Amazon I treat them as a long term rental.

Buying movies online is such a waste. Long term rental mentality indeed.

That's sadly why I stick with Windows. I am perfectly comfortable in Linux, but I know my next place of work will inevitably throw Windows hardware at me. And some vital professional tools only have Linux support in the most superficial stance.

But yeah, trying to make sure anything else I have control over.
