So you're doing work but not willing to pay others to do?

That's a great excuse. Meanwhile, there are billionaires whose investment incomes could pay those salaries many times over. Where do those investment incomes come from? Ahh, yes. P…

Transparency doesn't matter without consequences. Many of the currently ruling governments have demonstrated that already.

Interoperability only requires Apple to allow third parties to have the same capabilities that Apple does on your device . It doesn't require you to purchase or use a third party s…

Microsoft was mostly on the Embrace step. They've reached the Extend step with Copilot. They'll eventually Extinguish grep. It's best not to use Microsoft products.

Do you think this is a problem with the EU? I don't. I think it's a problem in the way that Big Tech operates: by function of theft and laundering of data, and by screwing end-user…

> Apple have a pretty large vested interest in not supporting interoperability here Yeah that needs to stop. This is kinda why the DMA was created in the first place...

My first "oh shit" moment was when ChatGPT 3 was brand new. Maybe December 2022 or so. I have a personal project: who's winning the race at 3 AM? You see, I don't sleep well. I liv…

> 10 years? Damn, that is a long time. I always assumed that heat-induced damage will kill a CPU after a certain amount of time (5-7 years). Am I wrong here? I assume yes. Or are C…

It's certainly relevant to the topic: notifications, and a claim of legal requirements. Legal requirements are useless without enforcement.

Really? You might want to ask most contractors, or contract lawyers, about that. "I was just following orders" for basic property damage typically doesn't hold up in court for them…
