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.

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?

I assume most companies write somewhere in their terms that “lifetime” means effectively “whenever the fuck we want”.

If there is a company that uses the word lifetime properly they may be worth a mention.
