I think I’d prefer if there was a minimum updates guarantee that OS sellers would have to disclose, but even then I’m more in favour of other companies being able to pick up the work by making sure devices have their bootloader unlockable after they don’t get any more updates for X amount of time, rather than add burden to OS makers, because forcing people to support a project for Y amount of years would really harm indie developers releasing Linux distros and the like

Well most review sites give it high scores with the negatives being primarily the performance so at least this time there might be a good game in there somewhere underneath all those shader compilation stutters

Wdym it’s like a couple of clicks

Presumably that will work like test flight does where you can only install the app through an invite system

But they’re not pdf/e-pub, they’re live pages that support changing things in the DOM dynamically. I’m sorry, I’m not trying to be mean but people not wanting scripting on their sites are a niche inside a niche, so in terms of prioritising fixing things that’s a very small audience with a very small ROI if done they might require a huge rewrite. It’s just not financially feasible for not much of a reason other than puritan ones.

To what end? Are you putting together a tier list? They should all be equally admonished to the highest order, that’s the point.

Which is just the loophole they’re trying to use now to assert control. This is just technicalities, the end result is that if you want to make apps for others to install they want to be the final say on you being allowed to do that or not.

This is just a way to capture negative feedback in a way that leaves you feeling like you did something while impacting none of their business which they can then ignore and throw away with no issues. Make noise on social media, not feedback forms. Make them hurt.

It’s effectively becoming the gate keeper in the same way apple only allowing app installs through its app store only is a gate keeper.

It’d be up to Google to do so, and they probably will just as an example of them totally not being a monopoly “look we even allowed a competing store”.

Well updates are “maintenance”, I’m arguing against someone who seems to think the code should be flawless from the get go and being any lesser and requiring updates is an issue of the developers.

Processors change, libraries become deprecated or vulnerable, design paradigms shift, and new integrations become possible that weren’t there when the application first launched. Should we blame old house builders for using asbestos when they didn’t know how poorly that would end up?

Oh that’s interesting, though my model isn’t on the list ;(

A bit annoying for all the things that don’t support openvpn, like old Synology NAS devices.

They did have a lot of concerns with abuse though and you can see that in the way the cookies debate went before they were supported in their current form. I think AI crawlers tanking bandwidths for websites and misusing the data they scrape would 100% be something the Mozilla from back then would’ve had concerns over allowing or encouraging.

remaster, not remake

The world you’re envisioning would only have paid licenses, who’s to say we can’t have a “free for non commercial purposes” license style for it all?

In theory sure, but in practice who has the resources to do large scale model training on huge datasets other than large corporations?

Manual approval process would kill the site I think, there’s just so much content on it that gets updated constantly it would just grind it all to a halt
