3 months agoHave to agree here, you can buy a Samsung branded 4TB USB-C drive that fits in your wallet.
I doubt the copy the theater is receiving is any higher quality than a Blu-ray release though, so aside from George Lucas style editing there seems to be little value in transporting the encrypted copy unless you first have a decryption method.
From a developer standpoint you’re taking someone’s baby, cloning it into a language they don’t understand and deprecating the original. Worse, if you’re not actually interested in taking over the project you’ve now made it abandonware because the original developer lost heart and the person looking for commit counts on GitHub has moved on.
Obviously these extremes don’t always apply, but a lot of open source relies on people taking a personal interest. If you destroy that, you might just destroy the project.
