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).

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].

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?

Losing a monopoly on specific game servers certainly can have a commercial risk. Are you entitled to that at all, let alone when you stop hosting them?

Legal risk of what? Others will have that responsibility, unless you’ve done something you don’t want others to see?

Safety - Yes someone might have less moderation than you - that’s up to the users to decide if it’s okay. We still have the right to change our car’s break pad - the thing that stops a large mass moving fast from hitting children.

‘Organize your co-workers’ is not a normal thing to say as it implies you have control over them but coworkers are equal. It reads “organize your staff” in a how_do_you_do_fellow_kids.png way. "Organize with your coworkers’ may come off better but “around AI” isn’t explicit either in support or opposition to AI. So what the title means has to be inferred.

I had assumed it was more spam.

The title and the generic image.

It bitches very often when you disable Google Pain Services.

You can’t delete the 1GB malware either.

Clippy would never promote a religion. Clippy just wanted to help.

GPLv2 says you must license any derived code as the same license

True, unless the license is “GPLv2 or later”. Then anyone can upgrade it to GPLv3.

It’s a barrier to entry. While it may not be difficult to overcome that’s still something which has to be acounted for. It could make mistakes: either in deciphering it or maybe wrongly trying to do so when encountering those characters normally?

There are big issues with the modern video games industry. Like a lot of software they deny user’s computing freedoms, and as such facilitate designs to repeatedly make money using psychology tricks. However, to reject video games as a waste of time goes to show how one can not know what they’re missing.

Video games are a peak of higher-functioning life: play. A structured form of play which can go beyond physical games. Life is poorer without the immergent stories of a fantasy world (Dwarf Fortress) or competing in a consequence-free violence of street-fighting (Street Fighter).
