Personally, I think a moral company would offer permanent discounts to long term customers, but there isn't a single company on earth I'm aware of that actually does that.

JetBrains do it with their IDE subscriptions, they give you a massive discount if you're subscribed for a few years, and even time on stuff like their educational license counts towards that. Super refreshing to see.

No; I think these bills are terrible and should be resisted. But the outrage about (what is effectively) a database on your pc to store information that itself doesn't do anything is ridiculous.

If abyone wants or needs to implement a system like that (could be for work,for example), that's perfectly fine. What isn't fine is the existence of the laws in the first place, and they shouldn't be resisted with (just) technology.

Soooo you're not actually arguing for cURL but for bash scripts and potentially something else.

And now you come across all the issues that come with that, like portability, the inevitable messiness of Bash (and the fact that people actually need to learn it unlike a GUI tool that uses simple JS for scripting), and you lose all the convenience of a nice UX and stuff like validation that comes with it.

In other words your argument is about as valid as people who argue that vim is the peak of IDEs and noone ever needs anything else. Which - I really hope - you realize is a bit crazy.

Commissions are perfectly fine as long as they're upfront about the price and it's not percentage based. Then you basically just pay for a service / someone's time.

And title.search is a problem with the government... Civilized countries have national registries of who exactlx owns what, and in the best ones you can freely look it up online, too.
