Comment on 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux
JustARegularNerd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoThe first link is evidence that video codecs cost money and, as per that source:
Most video codecs such as H.264, H265/HEVC, MPEG-2, MPEG-4… requires the manufacturer to pay a license fee. The fees are then added to the final product, but the actual codec fees are usually unknown to the end user.
This was in response to the earlier discussion about third party libraries costing money.

OK, I guess some third-party libraries do cost money, which is to be expected. That doesn’t change the fact that macOS is free.

It’s clear you’re acting in bad faith at this point - you’ve completely skipped over anything else I said in my original comment.

Me: points out of fact
You: you’re acting in bad faith!
It still doesn’t make any sense to me. Do you think I’m acting in bad faith because I acknowledge a fact, and you won’t? Or is it because I keep poking holes in your logic?
Sounds like hurt feelings to me

You misinterpreted what I said in that initial comment, asked if I was hallucinating, and when I clarified this misinterpretation, you proceeded to skip over anything I had said beyond the first link.
You are not giving any valid counter arguments to what I said in my original comment (in fact detracting from the original point of this whole thread by speculating you hurt my feelings?), this is why I believe you are acting in bad faith.

It not making sense to your useless brain doesn’t make it false.
