Every day it is more difficult to dedicate itself completely to the development of applications especially when you don't have the means from a great company that supports you and is that currently the number of pirated applications is quite high.

This is what Edward Brawer, developer and creator of uBar dock, an application that replaces the OS X dock of a lifetime for one more similar to what we could see in Windows with the possibilities that this entails in terms of productivity.

However not everyone is willing to pay for the work of others and with the philosophy that the software should be free (which does not mean free), it downloads everything that is uploaded to the internet left and right with the security danger that this entails.

In this way neither short nor lazy, Edward Brawer has developed a specific codeor to identify this type of pirated copies and here comes the fun part, since when the version is identified the code modifies the same application to show everything in Klingon language, yes you have read correctly, Klingon language from the mythical Star Trek series.

Most of them will not understand anything, but the translations they do they are somewhat free for example, "Bortas bir jablu'DI'reH QaQqu 'no", which means revenge is served on a cold plate.

In this way in a humorous way he has declared:

I knew that fighting them head-on would be a complete waste of time. These people clearly have nothing better to do. So I thought asymmetric warfare would be the best answer.

uBar has 30.000 paying users in addition to offering the possibility of being able to try it out for a full month before asking to sign up for $ 20. For this reason, for Brewer, the 1000 or so users who use his app "clandestinely" are warmongering humanoid aliens who go against Starfleet.
