Out of distribution.

Unfortunately, the answer is usually just to recompile.

Elon (and other shareholder) didn't do shit, he just owns the facilities and the rights to reap the profits.

Yes, it's so important for me to choose between 16 different brands of the same thing, all owned by two massive monopoly megacorporations. Get bent.

Love when all the liberal free market people here complain endlessly when the free market and corporations optimize for their profits. It's good for everyone, they said! Deregulation is good, they said! Corporate control of western governments is fine, they said, through the corporate controlled [1] media!

You're right, it's just nonsense based around artificial scarcity and commodification of something, in a way that is not grounded in material reality, it is the logical conclusion of financialization, the trading of assets on increasing levels of abstraction to the point where they quite literally have no material value.

There is nothing wrong with "intellectual property" "theft", it overwhelmingly benefits everyone BUT the western multinational megacorporations, so I wholeheartedly support "intellectual property" appropriation.

But is it webscale? [1]

This is exactly it. The wealthy and powerful of our world want to continue their reckless and rampant exploitation of the planet for profit; bullshit solutions like these are what they come up with because they want to keep doing what they're doing, earth be damned.

That's why the solution isn't these absolutely absurd "solutions", but rather in destroying the power of the profit motive, reorganizing our economic model based on rational resource allocation rather than chasing infinite growths and profits for the 1%.

And we hope more go the path of land reform, destroying the parasitic landlord class and returning property to the people.
