They can’t close the kernel. They already distribute Android with proprietary software - for example Google Play services and DRM services.

It’s almost like LLMs aren’t capable of understanding or something. /s

And analytics. And offloading as much computation to the client, because servers are expensive and inefficiency is not an issue if your users are the ones paying for it.

Just wait until the vibe coder overwrites 3 months of “work” with garbage because ChatGPT never told them about git and then decided to poop the pants.

Antennapod and not depending on the whims of whatever a CEO feels like today.

Please do. I want to train an AI on Disney movies. (Dear Disney lawyers please take the bait)

All of the above and more? There’s always the risk of something falling through the cracks, so the more layers of security measures you add/can afford the better.

90% of security vulnerabilities are caused by “let’s just use/do this for now and change it before production”.

Two Mac OS VMs enforced at Kernel level, which wasn’t a thing on Intel Macs.

Did they remove the stupid limit of 2 VMs per machine or is it still an expensive toy?

Back when silicon valley wasn’t all about fellating boot Google left China for much less.

Of course it’s feasible, that’s why there are courts. And even if they lost in court they could leave the British market instead of complying. But Apple will always kiss boot no matter how much they tell their cult otherwise.

Just a reminder that alternatives like open street maps and Here WeGo exist and are not taking marching orders from Trump.

Firefox+U-block Origin works pretty well on mobile

Memory safety at the expense of complicated interfaces is also not a good trade-off, even in terms of security.

So, Trump is not even president yet, and his word already invalidates the written law… Americans are so fucked.

Understanding how software is made, and what are best software engineering practices to make stable software only makes hate AAA studios that release overpriced crashy messes even more.

The main difference is that the project will be owned by the non-profit foundation. This still leaves mastodon.social in the for profit Mastodon gGmbH but Mastodon itself is safe.

Both.

Both are bad, doing propaganda because the other side is doing it too only makes things worse, and people defending China because the US does it (or vice-versa) are bootlicking whataboutists.
