I don’t know why you’d be leaving ux out.

Because UX 90% adds nothing and chiefly serves to suggest innovation.

You must be trolling come on now.

Buy physical media, rip CDs, share shit and that’s it

Those lawsuits work only short term

Not to mention that real high quality astrophotography by NASA and ESA is more often than not under free licenses. Literally the last case where it’s necessary to generate something.

Everything is written in typescript.

Companies are an awful trend.
