Still got the onerous signing procedure that still makes devs pay a tithe to Apple like in other markets I assume?

Installing?

Last burned a PS4 jailbreak bluray 😏

That in itself might act to make linux attractive as it can be a much lighter weight alternative to windows to stretch the useful life of hardware they own.

When I dual booted it was to try and get away from the win.

There is probably a lot of listening data that could be useful. Say you like a particular song, you could look at what other songs people who stream that do also streamed a lot?

It’s AI in the same way the computer controlled opponents in any video game since the 80s is AI. When you realise that is the metric by which something is judged to be AI or not, calling LLM AI seems a lot more valid much also much less impressive.

Worse, unless you have the source code to that 70 year old software it’s probably even less useful.

No, copyright applies specifically to the code, eulas and copyleft such as GPL rely on that fact. The logic itself can’t be, but the specific implementation can. It’s why clean room reverse engineering is fine, but a tainted decompilation direct from a binary may not be.

Except that isn’t what we have, we still have proprietary crap that is just open core now and that open core is dominated by a single corp that can dictate what standards it wants just like when IE was on top.

Less diversity isn’t good, the argument wasn’t in favour of proprietary software, it was against platform monoculture.

It’s more complicated than that as control acts as a barrier to entry preventing competitive start ups entering the market and disrupting it so established players probably don’t care as they can bare the cost of compliance if they have to.

Worse is that it likely won’t be able to distinguish between intentionally titilating material and material intended to educate. Only over 18 are allowed to learn about human physiology after submitting identifying information.

Can you do letsencrypt dns challenges against the free tier now? This was one reason I moved to duckdns. Plus I kept forgetting to login to keep the account alive so it would just stop working until I logged in and reactivated. Duckdns do emulate that experience with their random downtime though 😂

Capitalism can work well when it’s coupled into a virtuous circle of funding R&D to create new products and services to increase income to put back into more R&D.

At the moment it seems that a lot of companies are just trying to seek ever increasing rent extraction on existing products rather than investing in trying to innovate and relying on high barriers to entry to keep competition out.

Those are the the ones that somone has managed to find in closed source software…

I don’t think it is that is more polished, it’s just you pay for them to do the stuff you need to do yourself with reverse proxying, opening ports, securing stuff. This is only an issue if you are sharing outside your network of course.

Why bother self hosting at all then? Paying somone else to do it for you and the deal constantly getting altered is pretty what you signed up for.

That’s because you had somone elses servers doing that part for you.

Fully aware and autonomous? Sounds like AI talk to me…
