>That's a pretty healthy attitude in general, actually.

And I never said it wasn't.

My continued existence on this earth is mostly paid for by the work of sparing others from having to think too hard about the computers they're using. When I say this isn't going to move the needle one bit, it's because I've seen into enough real people's lives to understand why.

If Copilot is automated piracy, then maybe this is a good time for a reminder that piracy is a service problem. We're not just failing to learn from GNU's historic mistakes by pretending things like this are effective, but those of the likes of SCO, RIAA, Microsoft itself. People want better service, not lectures and scaremongering. The free-as-in-freedom is just a side effect.
