We were talking about laws, not rights or views.

Strange, those online tools don’t require any “effort”.

CLI interface

quite easy

No. This does not compute.

hosting a website costs money

You don’t have to host a website. Just make software that works like the website and runs locally.

I consider PDF to JPEG pretty niche.

But not niche enough that these websites don’t exist.

Also why if this goes through Mozilla and Firefox will both be killed instantly. They’re almost entirely funded by Google.

No, that’s like, the entire point of the article.

I understand that but that’s beside the point. It does what they advertise. It’s incredibly simple and easy to use. Why can no one make something comparable that’s FOSS?

or you can spend a few minutes

This is just a fucking lie and I’m tired of hearing it. What did I just say?

I’ve lost far too many hours to the CLI.

I’ve tried to learn this shit. It’s a fucking rabbit hole. I type these commands, letter for letter, the terminal returns some completely useless error that provides me with no diagnostic information whatsoever, I spend hours searching and trying to understand why and come up empty-handed. I don’t have time for that anymore. I already have multiple jobs. It’s not how I prefer to spend my free time. And frankly, I don’t believe it anymore when software engineers feed me this bullshit.

You know what those web services do? I just click a button and it does what the button says. Why is that so hard?

I don’t think it worked.

Handbrake has a GUI, and it’s relatively straightforward to use

I downloaded it and it immediately did not work so I’m gonna have to disagree with you there, champ.

You can also use ffmpeg on the CLI like so:

I’ve lost far too many hours to the CLI. I don’t fall for that trick anymore.

That’s annoying as fuck

Thanks for that deep analysis.

Didn’t realize the DMCA applied in Sweden.

I don’t have the knowledge or the time to learn to use these tools.

Does the other CEO have a very different plan for the company

I mean they almost certainly will…

Phones are the same. Haven’t touched them since the S6.

My Samsung monitor (which was very expensive) also has hardware deficiencies, leading to broken images and flickering.

Which offline converter? I find myself often trying to convert:

• PDF to JPEG
• AVC to MP4
• OPUS to MP3

etc. I have no idea how to do that but if I type it into a search engine there’s usually tools there.

For what it’s worth, I agree 100%. I’m awfully tired of this whole “everyone who disagrees with me is a nazi/KKK” extremism. It’s a great disservice to the severity of those atrocities.

If another law says you have a right to create

That law doesn’t exist and that’s not how law works. Law does not specify what is allowed, only what isn’t. Breaking encryption isn’t.

There is no “more illegal”. One is illegal, the other is not.
