But since #bots are a problem, I can't just complain about #ValueRemoving #RentSeekers like #CloudFlare without proposing any alternative methods...

@trashheap @Raspberry_Pi The worse part of this is that #scalpers #botting their #distributors are the problem, and people buying from said #ValueRemoving #rentseekers instead of the distributors, when the only winning move is to starve those into insolvency.

OFC it's what people do to other people, not that they do it in the :fediverse: or anywhere else.
No in that technology is paywalled and thus the systemic issues are being amplified.
This causes a whole ecosystem of #ValueRemoving #Rentseekers like #CloudFlare to even exist in the first place, which at as #ManInTheMiddle and exert #control by being not only able but willing to block @torproject #Tor users...
It's like #AdblockerBlockers: Their business should be illegal!

@cstross WUOT THE FLYING FUCK?
1. How is it legal to advertise a prescription drug?
I thought that's (still) as illegal in the #UK as in the #EU...
2. How are pharmacies not obligated to stockpile such essential medication?
3. Why are private clinics that don't do emergency care even allowed to buy that shit in market-draining capacities?
4. how is it even legal to offer such a drug for said "weight loss" application???
5. Seriously, #Capitalism is #ValueRemoving!

I mean there's a reason why I won't put the #PocketCrypto on the #Helium network, because it'll be an #Enshittification and #ValueRemoving compared to even regular #ISM-Bamd Radio like 27MHz CB.

#DRM is #ValueRemoving and should be outlawed since it only affects #consumers that legitimately paid for content.
#Piracy is basically #DigitalSelfDefense at this point and I find it bad that one needs to have like HDCP-removing splitters to even record any kind of #HDTV.
You know what was needed to record TV in the past?
A VCR and a SCART cable!

:boost_ok: #FollowerPower: Does anyone know a #distributor that actually sells @Raspberry_Pi / #RaspberryPi #PiZero v1.3 / #Pi0 1.3 (NOT #Pi0W / #Pi0W2!) at #MSRP or at least not beyond 300% of it?
Cuz all I see are shitty #scammers and #ValueRemoving #rentseekers aka. [unofficial!] "#resellers" that charge 1.000% - >2.000% of the MSRP and they seem to #bot all the shops empty.
Like it's worse than with the #PS5 & #XboxSeriesX, and that's already shit.

In fact, I'd call this just as #ValueRemoving and toxic as #FSF personnel and #Stallman fans mobbing peoole for not using #GPLv3.
All that time and money wasted could've been instead invested in fixing actual issues!!!
