@rysiek@mstdn.socialIf you're wondering how things are going with the famous #DRM'd Polish trains, well, their manufacturer – #Newag – sued the hackers who had un-blocked them:

But weirdly, after months of implying and suggesting that the locking code was added to the software by the hackers themselves, in the lawsuit the company now insists they did not in fact modify the software installed on the trains.
Why? Because that would not mesh well with the copyright infringement claim.

@rysiek Public money, public code!!!
the government should only pay for #freeSoftware . If the bill is footed by the taxpayer... the corporation should have no case to "hide" what they are doing in the software.
@jpaskaruk@growers.socialAnd by handing those fat government contracts to Free Software projects, they can have the projects evolve in directed ways more useful to everyone.
When I was at Tangent Animation, we used #Blender3d as our central animation app, and kicked money to their foundation, in return for which we got a say in what features were given developer time.
Worked great till Netflix murdered us.
@jpaskaruk @nicemicro @rysiek tangent is no more??
@jpaskaruk@growers.socialSince 2021, sadly.
