Here's a quote from [[wikipedia:Hundred_Rabbits#Permacomputing|100R]] (links added by me; typos corrected):<ref>https://100r.co/site/weathering_software_winter.html</ref><blockquote>Many of the tools that we thought we could rely on broke down, whether it is [[Apple]] products, or software that require [[Subscription service|subscription services]], <abbr>[[Digital rights management|DRM]]</abbr>, etc. As an artist you spend time developing a skill, you become a Photoshop illustrator. When your connection to the internet fails and that the software locks up, that skill that you thought was [[Right to own|yours]] was actually entirely owned by someone, and can be taken away. | Here's a quote from [[wikipedia:Hundred_Rabbits#Permacomputing|100R]] (links added by me; typos corrected):<ref>https://100r.co/site/weathering_software_winter.html</ref><blockquote>Many of the tools that we thought we could rely on broke down, whether it is [[Apple]] products, or software that require [[Subscription service|subscription services]], <abbr>[[Digital rights management|DRM]]</abbr>, etc. As an artist you spend time developing a skill, you become a Photoshop illustrator.
