The benevolence!

“People could fix this but cannot because this law prevents it” is a simple message for law-makers to understand and this program proves the claim. What does being in jail do? Keep in mind that asking others to break the law is legally questionable but moreso it is an unfair risk to ask of others if we want them to aim to win the bounty.

If Deputy Attorney General John Fowler said that tgen he is an asshole. I don’t accept the premiss of assholes.

I wish I could buy hardware without HMDI at all so they got no money from me.

Ya’ll have phones?

Maybe I should not, if it can be taken with no articulable reason given.

Hopefully interoperability of seperate apps as ‘part of a web browser experince’ can be improved to help all users. However, the less technologically inclinded will have to step up and do something if they want to avoid growing frustrations from an endlessly, enshitifying browser experience.

Having a “do one thing” software design doesn’t avoid all issues of anti-competition practices, nor does it prevent anti-features. For that I’d look towards software freedom licenses (as opposed to proprietary software).

We already have software that does some seprate parts of web browsers and comes with the OS; video players, text readers and protocol specific apps. The question is, are advanced users using alternatives like Gemini protocal? Hopefully activity will lead to others entering the new communities.

It’s too late to give (life) support. Web browsers are a dying ecosystem as it’s too complex to create competition. Why not abandon them and instead support software that does a seperatable part of what modern browsers do?

Libre alternative?

A game could be good and yet contain media created with AI generation - high rating + AI tag covers that case.

Most AI use will be slop, but as you say some could be an accident. How the dev responds to users finding out will inform users how to rate the dev team themselves.

20 years ago I would have been excited: when Microsoft made Clippy to try and help people. Now we know you created this to harvest data.

I’m mind-blown that people feel no shame when data harvesting from computer illiterates, or programmers who write anti-features (like forced online accounts for a local OS).

We don’t need the madman who thinks suffering is good to change their mind for sensible people to act, as medicine doesn’t need the madman who thinks always throwing up is healthy. We place expectations on others everyday: like when we walk past a stranger. Perfect agreement is not needed to have expectations, or demand better from those who benefit from others.

If a country has a universal basic income then it would be easier for people to choose to donate time to a project.

Some are fortunate enough that they could take up the work without monetary returns, and perhaps donations do not count depending on the software license or depending on some country’s law. Most would find that a hindrance and then users must hope it doesn’t get worse or find something else entirely - like proprietary software.

Non-commercial terms hinder the ability of others to fork a project, which is a concern if something bad inevitability happens. [They give into temptation and add anti-features, or people do/say something which makes them untrustworthy or unassociatable].

“Militant foss” reads like the old saying “militant atheist”…

Maybe you aught to take your own advice and not mention this again, otherwise you’ll hear opinions that conflict with your own.

Untagged?

It shouldn’t matter if people agree if they both seek the true. If trustworthy sources have verifiable evidence that points different way then the article can present all possibilities. If one side has more/better evidence then present that as primary.

Well, I was aware RAM prices fluctuate.

I’ve never been so unfortunate when buying larger RAM, or building a new system with a new DDR version.

People buying RAM: oh no, what do we do?

People buying GPUs: first time?
