So, the same thing media websites do when they ignore my "do not track" request?

Family whose roof was damaged by space debris files claims against NASA ( arstechnica.com )

I really like all of Wlfred Owen's work. So fucking sad. And I dont mean just the poetry but his life. When I found about him I read his biography and it made me cry a little. You probably already know this but not only did he fought and wrote his poetry in the first WW but he also died there with only 25 years. Just writing this Im starting to tear up, trully heartbreaking.

I recently pirated autocad for a friend. While i was looking into it I saw a couple people who recieved letters telling them to stop and one even claimed they required them to scan the pc with some software and send them the results. Also, according to some redittors, other programs on the pc, even those not made by autodesk may snitch on you. So we started looking to foss alternatives, which there are some good ones btw, but in the end we just said "fuck it" and pirated it anyways because we needed to open .dwg files and autodesk had the brilliant idea of making it a proprietary format so they gave us no choice. What were they expecting us to do? Pay? lol

Its been about a month since, no problems so far.

like sending models/drawings to other companies/clients or whatever.

How can they tell if a document was made on a pirated copy? And how might one avoid that detection

Damn you proprietary software!!!!

Thanks for the info.
Seems like it would be safer to use librecad to create and autocad just as a reader/converter. Why people accept this, do this formats offer advantages over the open ones?

Edit: Sorry if im asking too many questions

I see, at least they give some functionallity.

Thank you very much for all your help. ^.^

it's highly important to minimize the extent to which such platforms can be used to manipulate the outcomes of elections.

But this isnt doing that. This is only changing who is allowed to manipulate the public through propaganda.
