1 year agoIf it’s on Reddit and visible via Google search, it’s public information. Posts online generally do not have any sort of ownership or protections legally.
I could copy your post and repost it somewhere else, I could even claim it as my own post and idea, with zero legal ramifications. Though taking credit for it would make me a dick. I’d just credit the original user. Even if it’s just “crosspost from Reddit user /u/insertUsername”
I lot of people think they rely on Windows programs when they would be perfectly fine using a Linux alternative.
Always funny to me that Windows seems to be this OS that you can’t escape from cause everything requires Windows to run. But nobody brings up that issue when you talk about MacOS and having to find alternative apps when switching there
